Well... not today - but the other night when I got home from work I got sick of looking at the mud all over it, the grinding noise the hinges would make when I opened the door, and the "nails on the chalkboard" effect of the windows rolling down with sandy grit on the wiper - so i decided to take the power washer to it. I did everything from roof to undercarriage.

No exaggeration, I'm pretty sure there was probably 100 lbs or more of sand and mud that I washed from my jeep. Funny thing is, the steering wheel doesn't have as much play now

Good times.

Do you think running it to the driver side would be as good as the passenger side without the factory air box though? Because I'm getting rid of my air box when I do the cowl snorkel to mount a second battery in its place, and I'll have a cone filter inside the cowl.
If you are talking about putting the filter in the cowl and removing the stock air box then yes passenger side is better, but if u were talking About keeping stock air box then both location doesn't matter.

Generally the people that run it to the passenger side have no other choice - if you have anti-lock brakes, the ABS module is in the way.

I personally wouldn't want to run it over to the pass side because you're running it over the motor to get to it which would in turn have higher intake temps - at least I would think so.... may not make a difference though 'cause a lot of people do it.

lol... I'm sure you've heard "That's what she said" jokes....

hopefully an ABS module would NOT be a deciding factor in THAT entry hole
