What is this airbox silicone required deal you speak of?

Thanks folks.
I’ve got Mountain Addiction rails I never used so was going to buy the combo gas can/bag setup so I probably should install something stiffenerish. Was watching a couple videos of guys installing boards and bumpers and the tunnels look pretty flimsy compared to what I’m used to (Doo).

CR stuff seems ok. Anyone know what the difference is between the Gen 1 and Gen 2 rear bumpers are? I see they have the Gen 1’s on sale.

I’m going to ride it first before I decide if I need boards.

Dealer was trying to sell me an MBRP can. Not sure how they compare to others out there. My experience with them has been so-so.

some intakes leaked bad. mine had gaps all over the place. caused bogging and lots of ice buildup in intake. did this to stop and crap sucking into eng

Finally got the rear bumper and brace done. One thing I would recommend CR do is open up the square windows that go around the stock rear running board mounts another 1/8”-3/16”. I had to open mine up to get everything to line up. And even then several holes were out quite a bit. Not as clean as I would like. But it should do its job to keep the tunnel from going full hockey stick.

But If I had to do it again I’d buy the BDX one. WHAT A JOB!!! Working from inside the tunnel might be fine on a sled lift table thing but hanging it off the engine hoist was pretty lame.

Comparing front to rear/BDX to CR I think BDX has the colour a bit more dialed in also.

For those wondering the cover with this bumper combination will fit, but it’s real tight! Will see how it does on the sled deck road test.

Looks good.... but a ton of work.

The BDX colors are exact as they own several Cat dealers in the States.

Going with an aftermarket bumper on mine and was curious on how well the stock cover will fit after. Thanks for sharing!

I foresee a kitty in your future Jeff!

Not dealing with friggin banner, so...


Never had a chance to ride with rory last year on his loaner, and have one buddy I spent 5 min on his alpha, but he has finger whiskey throttle, so haven't had a good chance to ride for a half plus day

Meh just run out and get one like I did Jeff. Sure you can sell the French trench without too much trouble.
