Half way done pic of my bud's new gas cap vent installed on his cherry XT. Just waiting for the one way fuel filter to arrive. We talked him into installing one. All credits for this mod goes to "forist" though. we got this idea from him when our XB and XT stopped all of a sudden. then we found his post and "voila!" our trucks running again. If you're thinking of doing this, here's his link: http://www.redcatrampageforum.com/showthread.php?t=5734&highlight=vent


Thanks forist!! You're the man! :D

Looks good, I like all the different fuel line colors.
 
I like my prefilter...

That air filter needs to be changed. It's not going to do your engine any favors.

My bud and I thought about it. so we ran our XTs' one without the prefilter. After bashing on dust and mud, my filter was a lot cleaner and the prefilter did what it was supposed to do. it caught a lot of the dirt and debris and almost turned from yellow to black from the all the dirt it caught and my friend's air filter was covered with mud and dust and all kinds of gunks and cursing coz' I talked him into removing his prefilter to run the test and needed to do some serious washing of his filter and waited for it to dry before he was able to run the truck again.


So, I think I'll keep it for a while. :D
 
I mean the actual filter, not the pre-filter. The stock air filter isn't going to offer much protection from dust/dirt. This is why a lot of us run a 5B filter assembly.
 
oh, ok....
