My build so far...and yes it's clean...not being able to drive the thing right now there's not much else to do but polish her up :)
I have a little over 3000 miles on her so far...all trouble free.

Rugged Radios fresh air system, Dragonfire 3 inch harnesses.

When I was attending the King of The Hammers off road races in February I noticed many of the racers were using the Rugged Radios fresh air system to help with their breathing when they were racing in all the dust. After some research I felt the Rugged Radio system was very good quality. I’m surely not going to be racing but when following others along the trail the dust, for me, is a problem in regards to my health. I don’t mind the buggy getting dirty, that comes with having fun with it, but as I age I want to keep myself as healthy as possible.

I installed the Rugged Radios MAC 3.2 system. You can mount the air pumper in any position. I mounted it upside down between the seats to give the outlet hose a clean run up, over, and around the seats and somewhat out of the dust flow. I’ll be mounting the air volumn/power switch controller somewhere near the dash. Super easy mounting and yes, there’s plenty of room for my elbows. The passenger hose is not connected to the second outlet in the photos. The pre-filter and main filter are dry media and washable.

Klim Fresh Air helmets. Beautifully made. One for me and one for any passenger who rides along and wants to use the system. The helmets also come with a zipper attached cloth curtain that attaches around the bottom of the hemet to further keep any dust out. About $200 each.

Thanks. I went with the X model as most of my driving is exploring in the southwest and some of the places I go to are pretty tight. The 64 inch track is working well.

I'm a full time traveler in my Sprinter Van I converted to a camper (link to the build). Here's a photo of my travel set up. The trailer is a Big Tex 60CH 7x14 foot car hauler. Well made and pulls perfectly.

Ha, there he is, the guy who took me for a spin in his buggy last year and cost me a bunch of money, hi Tim!

When the spin around the block is 50+ miles of this, what's not to love?

I bought a 1000R about a month after my first ride in your 1000X. Hope you're staying safe out there.

Thanks! I'll be coming through the OK panhandle on my way back west (I'm in FL at the moment) in a few weeks (hopefully) and stopping in Meno to visit friends. If you're close by as I pass by let's try to get to gather for some grub.

How easy was it to install the machine air system? Is it plug and play?
