    Looking to gain some clearance above front tires in wheel well. I have seen a few people chop the front fender about 1.5" all around and was wondering how the wheel well liner gets fixed. Do you all just run no wheel well liners and say fuck it to the intake? I'm down if the answer is yes. Thanks.

    The road to fitting 295s while off-roading has been a fun one. Ant imagine those running 35s on a 2.5" lift. lol respect

    I currently have EZflares attached to my fender flares, but they will be coming off.

    Has a third gen done the Cowl intake mod? I know it’s a common 2nd gen mod but I don’t think I’ve seen a turd try it yet

    Am I crazy to try and make the fake hood scoop work as an intake feed?

    Kinda? You need to keep the intake volume pretty close to what it was before, would likely be tough to plumb a tube big enough and fasten to the scoop - isn’t it pretty tight under it?
