After installing the heat shielding, Garrett takes the KRX out to Sand Hollow for a test ride and compares it to a stock KRX. He'll take measurements with an infrared thermometer and tell you whether or not he thinks installing heat shielding is worth the time.

I love your informative videos. Thanks for all of your efforts. I bought my Krx because of the reviews and information you guys give. I feel they are honest and very helpful. Thanks guys!!
Thanks for the support 👍 -Garrett
I had the heat issue with my 2014 Teryx4, I solved my issues with cat delete and power commander with a proper tune. Just my experience. Keep the content coming. 👍🏼
I did as well with the Teryx4 but what you did would help more on the Teryx4 because the location of the motor. The KRX main issue is you have the heat coming from radiator lines running through the center console. So the heat will be there no matter what. I guess you just try to cover it up to help. 👍-Garrett
hey Garrett,
love your guys videos. I also ride a krx. when I first got mine I immediately noticed the heat and dust problem in the cab.
I thought that adding the door seals would help with the problem since they also come with a heat shield to go under
both seats. Those have been on back order so long that I wouldn't be able to tell you if that works.
However, I solved the problem . I removed the windshield.
no more dust and no noticeable heat. even when I'm rock crawling.
I figure when it turns cold I will put it back on.
on the flip side (in the winter) with the windshield on, it should be nice and toasty. no need for a heater....
I ride at Sand Hollow all the time. ... Hope to see you out there..
thanks for the videos. I know what kind of time you invest.

Thanks for the input! -Garrett
I’m in Fl and it has been hot but still haven’t had this issue.
What did the rear caging (bumper) come from on the non heat shielded Krx looks great thanks keep up the good work!
Bought the tusk terrabites because of you!!!
They’re a great tire!
Informative
I put heat shielding behind the seats because in the Sport you could feel the heat on the back of the seats. It was marginally better. When I switched from the stock muffler to the HMF, dramatic change. You kind of miss that heat when it's really cold, but that is where most of our heat comes from.
I have heard exhaust does make a big difference as well. I wish these companies would just locate the radiator in the rear to start. That would cut the heat drastically in my opinion. 👍
@@DerangedOffRoad Yamaha must have been really bad since that was one of their design changes. Then of course you are dependent on giant fans since you are no longer capturing airflow from movement.
AZAdventure The YXZ was not bad heat wise. They moved it to the rear to prevent mud from clogging the rad...
@@DUNEATV I heard several youtubers talk about in cab heat... even one of the reviewers. I have no opinion either way, as you know don't own one. I can certainly accept it was for mud... but most others have a front rad and we all go through the mud. Then again if you think it made no difference, then maybe the heat is more exhaust like on mine???
AZAdventure My 2017 YXZ has factory heat shielding so I have no heat issues. The rad on the YXZ is located right behind the front tires so it would get the mud spray...although I’ve not had that problem because I don’t go “muding”. Lol I have OCD!
Maybe once the vehicles heat soak the temps are close to the same. I bet once your cruising with airflow it’s much cooler...
That makes a lot of sense because overall the numbers weren’t great comparing the two but it did feel way more comfortable cruising along then before. -Garrett
Deranged Off-Road Maybe a follow up video with a passenger in both rigs and two thermometers 🌡?
I live in the desert and even with the half windshield it’s not enough airflow for the cab to cool. I save the windshield for the winter when I actually NEED to retain heat.
What are you seeing for CVT temps when riding in 100 degrees? I was consistently at 3 bar with going to 4 bar once while riding in our high desert terrain in similar heat.
One to two bars, I have only seen three bars once. 👍
@@DerangedOffRoad Yeah we were not in soft sand like you were. Only for a little bit and some small hills. I am thinking I have a problem.
i ride in az. in 100 to 110 degree temps never seen over 2 bars yet. if your seeing 4 i would inspect the clutches and belt. blow them out too.
How do you like the dirt warrior windshield in that heat does the vent allow enough air flow
Yes it has great air flow and I wouldn’t run anything else. You need vents for sure in a windshield.
Deranged Off-Road guess I better get one I don’t like looking through the fish eye quarter window
We can definitely get you taken care of with the windshield
Deranged Off-Road can you ship to Canada 🇨🇦
Hmmm probably cost as much as the windshield. We could look into it, but I don’t know if it’s feasible
hello where is located that place and there rent the vehicles or do I have to take them?
Sand Hollow Utah and look up Mad Moose Rentals. 👍 -Garrett
@@DerangedOffRoad Thank you folks!!!!!
Sorry results weren’t better. Have you considered trying to deflect the radiator air to the side and push fresh cool air through the tunnel? Maybe a fan? This would likely make the wrap on the hoses more effective.
I would say only a fan setup would work for the best results. -Garrett
I’m assuming you’ve never seen one? You’ve seen everything, I’ve seen zip.🙄 Thanks
When are you guys going to be able to get out and ride some of the mountain trails? You've got to be getting tired of ridding Sandhollow 🤔
We have had like zero time this summer, and upgrades going on. We want to get out really soon though.
-Dave
We definitely need to get up in the mountains. This has been an odd summer for sure
Look I'm a star!
Great times, thanks for coming!
can not get an accurate engine temp with it being off its just heat soaking. should have kept them running.
These temps were in a matter of a minute so not to much heat soaking going on. 👍 Riding temp seemed to be more comfortable though.
@@DerangedOffRoad i hear ya i say that because i have noticed on my krx shutting it off and leave the key on you will see engine tempts rise in seconds because the water pump is no longer circulating., mine stays running at around 195 to 190. soon as its off withing 5 seconds its over 210 and climbing.
That is correct, after we got done with the ride and vid Dave and I was like he should have taken readings while riding in each one.
Its hot as shit. Uncomfortable
