No but you wil be cleaning/replacing your air filter every month if you don't. Don't ask me how I know

 

So is anyone up here at eagle lakes with me? Saw a couple yotas but didn't recognize anyone. Not that I've met too many of you

 

I'd recommend a snorkel. Don't ask why.

 

you can just do like I did. run it to the crowl. even though everyone will say you will get water in there, but there wrong. if water is going in there then my floor would be full of water as the bottom of my inlet to my intake sits above the inlet for the cabin air intake. it works and I like it.

That looks pretty nice!

 

hmmm, I like this idea.

 

I ran mine for almost a year with no intake at all like in picture #3.

 

I have all the parts for this, just need the time to install.

 

I've been thinking about doing the same

 

Any problem with engine movement and the intake tube going through a rigid hole without any flex? It's my one concern before I install.

 

I just used fuel hose for rubber trim and silicone to help seal it. So far seems fine.but there is better options.

Deer Valley work party was a success! We accomplished a lot this past weekend making the Deer Valley trail open for everyone. From Hi-Lo Member Michael Wall: I worked the trail on Friday then Doug and Galen joined me on Saturday. Gary L, Jon B, Greg R, & Mike D did the big tree and other large tree cleanup on Saturday. Mike D & Gregg R also did a complete trail run on Friday and assisted other non-club members do other trail cleanup. Nick came in on Sunday and helped Jon B and Greg R cleanup a few more trees along the trail. I think I covered all who worked the trail this past weekend. If not please let me know.

Per our minutes of the July meeting there is scheduled a trail run this coming Saturday Aug. 12. Per what we did this last weekend and possible minor trail cleaning that may be needed past the “Big Tree” I think a run would be in order. We did not make it past the “Big Tree” for sweeping the trail of other tree obstacles but Galen made it by himself so it appears there are no major issues.

The trail, per Jon, is the hardest he has ever seen it. Most agreed that is just below the Rubicon for complexity. You either need muscle with big tires or great skill with 33” tires and a rear locker to make it through.

 

I would like to do a cleanup at eagles lake. Then bbq with everyone

 

I'm down. We can pickup all your Coors Light cans from previous trips...

 

When?

 

What is everyone doing with their coolers when camping in bear country? Has anyone tried hoisting one up a tree?

 

Use fancy fridges and blast Blakebeats to scare the bears away

 

Step 1


I actually thought there was some type of bear deterrent called blackbeats, I was all ready to pick some up from Amazon...

Sorry man. Don't listen to me for anything involving safety.
