Re: My Build Thread (year+) on 71 Jimmy 4x4

Field fitting - going to take it out on test run with this setup.

I welded and reinforced two 5" ID steel exhaust sleeve into the cowl so I could bolt in / swap intake pipe length sizes whenever I need or want to.

Right now the carb hat I have is cast aluminum with 4" inlet, So I used a 5" to 4" reducer on the 90deg elbow from the airbox until I find a 5" carb hat.

Used 5" steel flex tubing for a short stretch to go into the cab and align, another 90 elbow and then up through the 3 cowl layers with solid pipe.

Looks like you've been enjoying it. We bought a Polaris RZR last Fall and finally got it out in the woods the Sunday of Memorial weekend, a place called Powerline Park here in Ohio, it was a blast. I can't wait to do it again, maybe I should bring it out west
