cool build, i would like to see how you did the hood scoop and if it is attached to the air box at all. That is some thing that I have been looking to do but can't figure out the best way to do it.

The scoop is mostly the original hood ,I had a trans cooler bolted up to the hood that's what it was used for originally but it would heat soak real bad on the trails when it got above 80 degrees,it worked great on the freeway way,trans never got over 110 even when it was 100 degrees out side temp,I know have a 2000 ford ranger cooler mounted in front of the radiator with the 3 electric fans I have plus the clutch fan.....she runs a bit warm above 10,000 feet
