daymn found this wayyyy back on the 12th page
i guess its time for an update
been working on a cowl snorkel mod
got this from menards $2.00

kids please clean up after your self's

bend in to a weird shape

make sure it fits kinda sorta good


this is were you run the tube

if you have a hole saw great use that
if your ghetto do it my way



seal up this hole in your air box

and where your new intake tube sits you will need to cut a hole and seal it off nicely, i didnt take that pic
it will look something like this

but i didnt take pics of it finished, there are deffently cleaner ways to do this to make it look factory or something but not for 2 bucks
you will get a little hissing noise after this is done, the way i fixed it was turning that little **** on the radio

well i gots me the hillbilly hood scoop (hood spacers) so its not touching at all but i suppose it would touch a bit if you didn't have the spacers i have seen some people smack the braces down a little bit so it fits but how do feel about hitting the under side of the hood with a hammer

got the skid plate on all but 2 bolts that i must have droped and lost taking the hitch off, then i got 2 new bolt but lack of free time and motivation has stoped me from putting them on i will get some pics when i do it
also picked up a highlift jack from a member on NAXJA, i sold him some ford ranger wheels a while ago and he gave me the jack in trade for some center caps for the wheels so it cost me about 29 bucks he said he only used it about 3 times, while i was there he noticed a front diff skid that he didnt want any more cause he was getting a whole cover picked that up for 10 bucks its a rustys model kinda like this http://rustysoffroad.com/mm5/merchan...egory_Code=DIF but must be the older model, i thought they were both good deals
got a short list of work to do all maintenance
Oil change
Tire rotation
Front and Rear pinion seals
Change Axel fluid
Trans filter and fluid change
Rear brakes are original at 165k
Front brakes are getting there
Repaint my front bumper its staring to rust
