it is a vent hose. it is attached, or should be attached to the frame rail on the drivers side.

when you say attached do you mean like zip tied to the frame rail or does the end of the hose actuall go onto something.

Just make sure the end of the hose runs downward about 4 inches. I think the vent hose already has a metal end that points downward that you can reuse. I drilled a hole in my wiper cowl and ran all of my vent hoses into there and attached small K&N style filters to them just to make sure I never got water into anything, but it's not really neccesary unless you play in the deep water.
