I was running a Fender combo half stack, that might have been my problem, took up alot of power

Its got all the aux wiring and relays for my roof lights behind the panel, and also the power supplies for my GPS and TomTom. I made the panel out of ply and covered it with a piece of leather that I had hanging around. Even stuck an old Jeep badge on.

when you say you printed out white ones how did you do that? scan in the old ones and change it in photoshop or something?

FYI thats not a CAI, its a WAI.

to have a CAI you need to have the filter element isolated from the heat of the engine bay and pulling cold air from outside.

that's why I had the cold in quotations "cold" and I just haven't got around to rerouting it to the battery side of the engine bay and making a heat shield

Got tired of bashing my rockers and I'm too lazy to build sliders so I bolted on 1/4" angle. Works great even with a hi lift. Bolted thru body under plastic door guards and filled it with foam. Oh yeah swapped out the axles as well.
