And let me just say WHAT A PAIN IN THE *** THAT WAS!!!!!!! Nothing fit, the scoops in the bumper needed fixing to work with the cover, The hoses could not be routed the way the directions said, in fact mosty of the directions that came with it didnt seem to work, fit or look right with my truck, they also gave me the wrong size clamps to hold the large hoses on, they gave me 4 of the smaller 127mm ones and only 3 of the larger 140mm so I had to go find one to make it work...... But it is on and the added time to actually make it work, although a pain in the ***, was worth it.

Next I need to pick up a grill insert for the bumper to better hide everything. I attempted to make one out of the gutter material but it didnt work ot to well and kept coming apart. Also want to get the orange cover painted/aisbrushed but that is gonna have to wait.

Nice!!!

I'd love to be able to get a nice double shot of air like that, but I'd swamp my engine with the intakes where they go the first time I went hog huntin...

I like the look. Reminds me of the 69 RoadRunner I had. It does look like a pita to add oil after an oil change from the pics.

Looks nice, but wouldn't work for me. I like to go off roading and those scoops would suck up too much water and mud!

This is the old one I had in there when I was doing more hunting/fishing/camping and took the truck off road more, now though she's a pavement pounder (not to be mistaken with a pavement queen)

Yea I was wondering how that thing did it wet/snowy conditions...

it does look like an old style intake, pretty cool. That corrugated tubing looks scary next to that fan!
