    Doesn't air enter from the drivers side? Maybe zip tie some old t-shirt over it unless there's a post on removing that plastic cowling.

    SnugTop Baja wheels, rings removed 265/75-16 Toyo Open Country A/T OME 3" Lift w/Dakkars Warn bumper and winch and bunch of misc small stuff.

    The space seems relatively open to me. Not necessarily drivers side. Maybe the main intake is over there, but it's pulling air (and debris) from the entire cowl space.

    I coincidentally need to remove the cowl plastic to fix the lower windshield trim strip. Bet someone here has already documented that though. If I see an easy way to screen-off the necessary space with silicone and some screen material I'll search/share.

    You're right, it wouldnt do any good to filter one area and have the crap enter through another. I just hope you don't have to pull the wipers to get it off.

    Pushed her a little hard the other day. She wasn't slammed, but she was flexing a bit. Here is a before picture in comparison. And she needs a much needed detail/bath!

    Definitely better stopping than stock. I had put these on my last truck too which is why I went with them again. :)

    Should you ever decide to go with UCAs, take a look at the Camburgs as they have greasable ball joints....

    Regular JB Weld or SteelStik? I use SteelStik to repair plumbing and I've never seen it let go. That stuff pretty much sticks to anything.

    I got one of these. I live in a rural tree laden area. I have never regretted it.

    Try the SteelStik. I've repaired appliances with that stuff, and it hasn't let me down yet.

    $440 shipped. I was trying to wait for another sale but I wanted it for ATR so I just need the one cooler for the trip.
