Looks like the lift ain't happening, to much additional costs involved 
Got bored and decided to relocate my AIT sensor onto my aem intake today. There was an unused 1/2 in tube on the intake pipe that is now used haha
Attachment 152696
Tube was a little long so I fixed that with an angle grinder
Attachment 152697
The sensor threaded itself right into the hole so no problems there but the wires going to it were pulled quite tight so I cut the main group housing back a lil and taped it back up. Also there was a bit to much blood in my index figure so I went ahead and corrected that with the razor as well
Attachment 152698
Plugged the oem hole with a brass plug and wa-la

no way I'm putting these rusty hunks on my baby!So I took a wire shell to them and made em pretty again!
ta daa! Three some Rustoleum black in them for future protectionNow my lazy butt just has to pull my bumper off and slap them on... And also I think I gotta pick up two bolts for the passenger side frame mount holes. But I'll slap them on and if I new the bolts ill just not use that side till I put them in

took the ol girl out to the dunes finally!Had a blast out there romping around and I didn't even break nothing haha.
I did how get to experience "heat soak" afterwards which concerned me but thanks to great sites like this one my worries were put to rest and a solution was presented.
just me saying hi doesn't look like much cuz the girly decided to tilt the camera for some reason but if ya adjust to match the horizon it looks better haha
