Q&A

Why did you choose to custom build the gas tank and airbox?

—I wanted to optimize the weight distribution and functionality of the vehicle. By custom building the gas tank and airbox, I can ensure they fit perfectly in the frame and provide the necessary performance and protection required for off-road conditions.

What materials did you use for the gas tank and airbox?

—I used aluminum for both the gas tank and airbox. Aluminum is lightweight yet strong, making it ideal for off-road applications. It also allows for precise welding and customization.

How did you ensure protection against the elements?

—To protect the gas tank from the elements, I carefully sealed all welds and created baffles to prevent fuel sloshing. For the airbox, I designed a secure cover to shield the air filter from rain and mud, ensuring only clean air reaches the engine.

What improvements can be expected from these modifications?

—The custom gas tank and airbox will enhance the vehicle's performance and reliability. The optimized weight distribution and precise air filtration will improve fuel efficiency and horsepower, while the protection against the elements will prevent damage and extend the lifespan of the engine.

What other modifications do you have planned for the vehicle?

—This is just the beginning! I have more exciting modifications planned, including upgrading the suspension, adding larger tires, and enhancing the lighting system. Stay tuned for future videos as I continue to customize the ultimate off-road vehicle.
