So I am tossing the idea of making a giant batch of these and selling them! I already have a couple protypes made from Carbon Steel, but would like to make the revised batch from 304SS. I have started a Google Form document HERE to gauge interest and get a better understanding of improvements that can be made! Feel free to fill it out if youre interested and I will get in touch when the first batch is complete!!!

Currently, I am getting a bunch of sheet metal shops to quote it. If this idea takes off (other Jeep models and car models are in the works) I would love to get a water jet machine of my own (I can dream!!!)

The storefront that I will be selling these from for the time being can be found here (http://grillkeychains.bigcartel.com[1] ).

The price is $12USD per keychain with a $2USD shipping fee. Currently, I am only setup to ship in the US, but if someone outside of the US wants one, please send me an email (http://grillkeychains.bigcartel.com/contact[2] ) and I will work something out.

I am holding off firing up the water jet machine until I get 50 orders placed, so please bear with me on this initial set. If that number isn't reached in two weeks, I assure you I will refund all placed orders. The initial monetary value of getting these going is quite large, and I want to make sure that I will be able to offset a chunk of it before I get too far into the rabbit hole (this is money that I was planning on putting towards a lift kit).

I installed an inline air filter using a 2nd air intake boot from a donor Xj to the snorkel today. Way cleaner than the hose that is sent with the kit. Photos to follow.
