Why the air cleaner extender?

Looks like he just created a huge low pressure area by adding the metal panels air box area will be all dust now no air to purge it out..

Nice work Rusty, you adding something to keep the mud off the clutches?

I got my skid plate and nerf bars mounted up. Took the panels off when I was dune riding, they made it harder to climb in and out, which is fine on a race day, but in the dunes I just wanted to slide in and out of the pilot with ease.

I wound up taking the panels off when in the dunes. Takes too long to slide in/out and also holds heat from the exhaust. Didnt seem to hold any dust inside like a low pressure pocket or anything. The nerf bars I got from Halorising, which are ATVRacin bars. The install was sort of hard, didnt want to bolt right in. I assume it is because my frame is slightly tweaked, but I still got them to fit. One problem I encountererd is that they are about an inch too wide on each side to fit in the back of my truck. I will be cutting the ends on an angle and welding them back on to clear my truck bed sides. Also have to re-make the rear add on pieces, the nerf bar mounts conflicted.

So, the next step with this pilot is to move the radiator. Over at Shoubadaba's house for some fab work. Him and I tore it down yesterday and discovered that the head pipe has cracked along the weld. My other pipe did this as well. I believe they are both ATVRacin pipes, but I could be wrong. My other pipe had the entire flange busted off. This one just has a crack, but still leaked oil all over the place.

I think the pipe is brazed. The last one that broke looked like a copper color. Shoubadaba was able to weld it back up with his MIG and it has held up good. I like the idea of the no weld relocate, however Shoubs is going to use his tube bender and welder and fab up a relocate style that allows the use of the stock radiator shroud and rock guard. PPP has this style on 2 of his pilots and it looks great.
