Default Put on some wire-loom, and finished the CAI

I ordered some blue wire-loom to put on to clean up the engine, still going to clean it up itself still a little cold.
I also finally got the end tube to my CAI. The seller shipped me a new one, as the one that came with it was to short it was on a angle to fit.

Once I finished putting the wire-loom on, I noticed my lower Rad support it rusted off on one side, time to get a new one. Also going to fix up the rust on the brackets and that you can see in the pics
CAI before longer tube

After + Wire Loom Pics

looks good. i guess every dakota rusts in the same spots, mine has rust in the exact same places. I sanded them down, hit them with rust inhibitor and factory paint.
