I haven't done much to the jeep so far. Built this based on Rockhead's J8 inspired hood scoop. There isn't a picture of it connected for some reason. But imagine the two ends with the circles are connected. I used the flexible hose autozone sells and covered it with the TJ cowl scoop. Its routed through the air box. I am not a huge fan after having it for awhile so I will probably just drill a hole into the cowl and go with a cowl snorkel.

It seals great and it sounds great outside the vehicle. Its convenient because you can pop the hood and detach the tube too. I think I just hate that the hood is painted crappy. But it was what I could afford at the time. I have never had any issues with water or anything either. We will see when I get home if I like it. Maybe I just needed some time away.

You'd have to drill new holes and tap them, or weld a threaded insert, or weld the thing on. Plus you'd have to cut out a section so the tcase could slip in a bit or you'd never get the crossmember flush enough to the rails to do anything. Just go find a stock tcase skid haha or get some sheet metal and bend it.

1000 watt inverter. Has a digital display to show how much power is still in the battery as well as an automatic shutdown when it drains the battery below a certain level. Two 120V receptacles as well as a USB hub to power a cellphone or Ipod.











loving some of the ideas i'v gotten
