Abstract: A vehicle assembly can include a frame assembly, a grab bar assembly, a vehicle seat and a crossmember. The frame assembly can define a passenger area and include a left cage side member and a right cage side member. The grab bar assembly can include a left grab bar attached to and extending from the left cage side member and a right grab bar attached to and extending from the right cage side member. The crossmember can be connected to the vehicle seat so as to support the vehicle seat. The crossmember can have a center portion. The left grab bar can be attached to the crossmember at a first location of the crossmember. The right grab bar can be attached to the crossmember at a second location of the crossmember. The first location and the second location can be equally spaced from the center portion.

Abstract: A skid plate adapted to be disposed at an underside of a vehicle is disclosed. The skid plate includes a plate portion, a duct portion, and a screen. The plate portion has a first side adapted to be disposed facing a ground and a second side disposed opposite to the first side. The duct portion is connected to the plate portion and extends away from the plate portion. Further, the duct portion defines a channel for directing a flow of air from the first side to the second side. Also, the screen is disposed at an outlet of the channel to prevent an ingress of debris to the second side.

Abstract: An air intake system for supplying air to a snorkel of a vehicle includes a lower air intake vent having an opening defining a lower air pathway to the snorkel, and a scoop disposed in the lower air intake vent. The scoop has a base portion attached to a body component in the lower air pathway, a longitudinally transverse portion extending forward from the base portion, and a laterally transverse portion extending from an upper edge of the base portion and an upper edge of the longitudinally transverse portion. The air intake system further includes an upper air intake vent having an upper opening in a fender body panel vertically above the wheel well, the upper air intake vent defining an upper air pathway to the snorkel, and a snorkel protection flange extending downwardly from an inner surface of the fender body panel.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a vehicle frame, a body on the vehicle frame, the vehicle frame and the body defining a wheel well, a wheel disposed in the wheel well, an engine for propelling the vehicle, and an electrical system for providing electrical power to the engine. The electrical system includes a regulator for maintaining a constant voltage across the electrical system located in the wheel well. A cover is located in the wheel well between the regulator and the wheel. An air intake is located in the body for directing airflow into a portion of the wheel well defined by the cover and housing the regulator to cool the regulator.

Abstract: A skid plate for use with a vehicle. The skid plate includes a body portion including a front edge and a rear edge, and at least one protective wall extending from the front edge of the body portion. The at least one protective wall includes a first end and a second end, and the at least one protective wall is contoured such that the first end is defined at the front edge and the second end is positioned a distance from the front edge.
