It would be very similar to doing the same thing with tube rockers

I used an internal 3" street 45 and it's has given me some good kick and it still has that stock vacuum pull. It's a good cheap mod Instead of getting the AEM or a cowl intake
Just dont play near any water.

It actually ran far better afterwards



It works amazingly well, i don't understand the physics behind it though



Never tried it...makes sense though since it works really well to clean the "other" inside of a motor
You've never cleaned stuff with steam before? Same principle. Super heated water can do wonders alone.

Default My Take on a False Floor

So I have been just keeping my eyes open for roadside junk that is usable and finally collected enough stuff to do up my false floor/shelf...
I used a piece of 5/8" plywood (found it while wheeling in the woods, haha) some scraps of 2x4 and the carpet from the back of the jeep, with padding stripped off, went real simple cause there was no need to be fancy
Started with cleaned out back (no carpet, spray can of bedliner)

put bins in plus 2x4 on top (came to just under 8") then made cardboard templates

smaller template was for cubby cover

cut plywood to fit, and 2x4 scraps to 8" and 8" strip of the plywood down the middle, screws to hold all items together


stapled carpet on with "front" wrapped under

all finished up

Aah, I see. I was picturing something like this and couldn't figure how to make it work on a 4.0.

old ones are still there. These are just snug right up against them.
