I like those. Wanted to order some the other day but my wife said I don't even own enough stuff to fill all the pockets.

Busted, your jeep looks great man. Good job! I am very jealous of the front axle work! If you ever decide to sell it i got dibs!

Hey, can you give me some insight on your cowl snorkel, what did u use? I have a snorkel to put on but with all the tight trails I run I am afraid it would break so I changed my mind to go with the cowl snorkel.

Thanks! And haha I hope to never sell it! Just keep making it better!
And it's made up of some poly 90* elbows I got off of eBay very cheap. One 3"in 3" out. And one 2.5" in and 3" out. (I'm pretty sure, measure ur intake on the throttle body to be sure) and a peace of 3" exhaust tubing I had. Made it up in about 4 hrs with paint and waiting time haha.

I later added the tube to use for the PVC valve. Total cost was about 35.00 if I remember right. The filter is just a medium sized cone filter that is in the cowl.

The best part, alot of people think I have a turbo/supercharger because of the sound it makes at wide open throttle.

Unloaded all my trail crap and wiped down the interior. Took a better pic of the axle remains before I toss them. Im suprised that I managed to break all 4 ears AND the new supposedly super strength ujoint. Im going to keep the outer stub shaft as a 2wd mod JIC...

LOL. When they go, they go all the way. I had both sides go Simultaneously once.... On open diff. Had about 10 people scratching their heads around me trying to figure out how i managed to do that. When they pulled me out, I bounced so hard sideways that track bar broke. Lots of winching to limp back home that day. I have the bigger sized u joints now. LOL
