Is this a heat shield?

I took two pictures of this under the bed of my 2012 800S LE …

Is this considered a heat shield? My OEM parts list calls it …

PLATE-SHIELD,BOX | [Built 1/02/12 and Before]

I am thinking about an after market heat shield and I’m sure they are a "lot" better than this plate shield. Just wondering if this part offers any heat help.

what a pain in the —

got my new nrg quick disconnect steering wheel mount and a momo quirk steering wheel
when I went to install I took the retaining nut off and my steering wheel would not come off ,so I got my manuel and it says to remove the steering shaft assy. from the eps units so you don’t damage the eps says to install the nut 1/2 way and pound on it to loosen the steering wheel well after smacking it a few time with a 5 lb slege it still wouldn’t budge. and not wanting to mess up my steering shaft I finely had to cut my old wheel off
I cut a section of the rubber off to get access to the steel collar that goes onto the shaft then cut that to just above the shaft and took a cold chisel and split the collar then still had to use a brass punch to knock the shaft off the wheel what should have taken a couple minutes to remove ended up taking a couple hours but finally got everything done lucky I didn’t have a ride for the afternoon planned:sad:

Tierod end replacement

Ok so I bought the super atv heavy duty tierods and ends. Very beefy compared to the stock ones that were on my 570. The Tierod ends are a 14mm thread stock are 12mm. We’re can I or who offers tie rod ends that will fit. They can be heims.

MotionX/Moab

Hey I am planing a trip to moab next month and just wondering if anyone out there uses the motion X app and have mapped any of the the trails in moab. I have the book and GPS garmin map but the motion x app is so much better. Wondering if any one has mapped it out if they would be willing to send their maps to me?

Install (w/ pics) of .50 Cal. Billet Dash Kit (TeamFASmotorsports)

I recently purchased a .50 Caliber Racing Billet Dash Kit through JT @ TeamFASmotorsports. The kit went on my ’15 XP1k w/ digital dash (IDD).

Attachment 134480
Above is the anodized kit, in blue.

Attachment 134481
I started with the switch panel to the left of IDD. I am using all (6) rocker switch holes (2 OEM and 4 elective)
After marking the bezel with a Sharpie, I cut the dash bezel w/ a utility knife. My goal was to leave as much of the OEM [plastic] dash panel remaining as possible.

Attachment 134482
Ok, one down & one to go…after I get both of the switch panels cut in, the other pieces will be cake!

Attachment 134483
Above is the left side’s switch panel installed. Everything but the switch panels is very easy to do, and the switch panels themselves aren’t bad at all–very straight forward stuff..
The only issue I had was the (2) left holes in the switch panel cover to the left of the IDD were too small to accommodate my OEM switches. I measured these two openings with my Mitutoyo digital caliper, and they were ~.0705" smaller than the (4) other openings.
I approached JT about this, and he was gracious. I didn’t want the pieces replaced or anything, as the remedy was nothing more than taking my Dremel, and trimming the (2) left-hand switch openings.

**TIME OUT**
I heard an eerily familiar buzzing sound outside my shop…..below is what it turned out to be:
Attachment 134484
Yep, a 4 foot long coon-tailed diamond back rattlesnake….I prolly kill an average of 10 per year, here on our ranch.
Ok, ’nuff about that…back to it…

Attachment 134485
Pictured above is the final product.
I used a small flat washer on the back side of the holes that used the (2) long bolts (all but (2) are the same length). There is one long bolt on each of the (2) pieces that have the ‘.50 Caliber’ engraving. The holes these (2) bolts run though ended up being very close to a corner that’s molded into the dash, and I felt a flat washer on the back would help strengthen them.
Be sure not to over-tighten the nuts. They’re Nylock nuts, so just get all the slack out and quit ("tight enough" ended up being slightly more than a full tap on all but the (2) long bolts).

I believe the billet pieces help to liven-up the interior a little bit.
Hope this helps any of you considering a billet dash kit. They’re available for both analog and the digital dash.
