I'm also going to look into a dust shield for the rear as well.

Great help guys!!! Thanks a million!!!

Just for grins here's a little work we've gotten done off the teryx in the past couple of weeks!!! More to come as we exterminate!!!

Also look at the kolpin folding half windshield. It folds down for maximum airflow when riding slow/dusty/hot conditions then folds back up for better protection from wind/rocks/cold etc. Works great.

This is awesome! How does it hold up to mud and water? Does it keep the heat down?

I got one of these Ryde On - Bringing you the ultimate UTV riding experience.


I'm really happy with it. It keeps the dust down, has a few nice storage pockets, plus it cuts down the engine noise as well.

Removing the windshield will help. I roll two towels and put one behind each front seat to block the gap. I get virtually no dust now.

The Ryde on dust shield is completely washable and waterproof. Works great with windshield or not. Check it out.

Pipe Insulation

You can also use the black foam pipe insulation that you slip over copper pipe. You can trim it to fit your opening and you can get different sizes to make the fit tighter if you need to. Very cheap!

I am going to try a couple of the easy fixes first and see what happens. I saw another topic where a guy installed a small piece of bed liner to the front of the bed, filling the gap between the bed and seats. Any of you guys tried that yet?

I've only had it for two rides and one washing but it seems very durable and is easy to clean.

Definitely keeps the heat down with the section that goes over the middle console.

The only drawback to the dust guard that I can find is it must be removed to check the air filter. Although it is keeping the air filter much cleaner so I don't expect it to be a big deal.

Your post is actually the one I saw!!! That's more like something I want to do. I'll have to try this out and see what happens. Did you have to raise your windshield or can you just leave it down low?

Thanks again everyone for all the feedback!!! I've got some good ideas to try out now!!!

We have some 1/4" thick rubber here at work, may have to try that fix for behind the seats!

One of the reasons I have not put a half windshield on is because of the dust and heat issues it creates, though I do agree it would make a good rifle rest for hogs and coyotes. I have thought about a padded bar for that as well. I haven't hunted out of mine yet but have been threatening to. I think it would make a good nightime varmint rig. I have a forward facing rear seat in quick detach mounts for mine.

03rd_SVT, I am just down the road from you in Wellington. Where do you guys go ride? We usually go over in the edge of OK to Altus, or ride around here on family land.

We go to the Canadian river some, lake McClellan, and our land up by Booker. We are hunting up on top of the canyon out SW of Amarillo on a friends land.

We have just been hunting hogs till we run them all off then start chasing rabbits. It's a blast!!!

How is McClellan? Have heard there is a place to ride there but haven't got over there and checked it out. Been thinking about it though, only about 60 miles from us. How much area is there to ride?

Didn't know there were any pigs in that area, wouldn't have thought there would be. I was around there quite a bit back in college. Learn something new every day I guess. Our land is out around Quail, if you know where that is. Between Wellington and Hedley, and back north from there.
