Opinions...ya know?
What happens with the rear brake line and the differential vent? Does the welding of this truss not require moving that?

Can the truss be welded on while the axle is on the vehicle?

Brake lines/vents need to be relocated, it can be welded while on the vehicle, but not recommended due to the proximity of the gas tank

Wonder how much CFM it can handle? Looks like it would be good for a snorkel setup...

Nevermind, just saw the CFM rating

I was thinking for the cowl intake...to put over on the passenger side so it stays cool, but instead of using the filter in the cowl, use this. Contained snorkel.

They have a 3" too, so no adapters necessary, but it is only 450 CFM.

600CFM is more than enough, just wonder with the 4" size how fast it would plug off? Otherwize, that would be PERFECT in my ZJ, loose the factory airbox, mount my 2nd battery there AND get my snorkel out of the deal

So the fedex guy left me a present from my girl on valentines day... I love her. I get her flowers... and she gets me ak stuff...

UTG quad rails and a tapco folding stock. Upon initial inspection, the tapco is crap. But its okay for right now. The UTG quad rails are beef though.
