The Fallen Stormtrooper build

Yea like I said, I have the idea in my head but still need to take more measurements and see if I can find the right piping to get it all done. Probably be to expensive to really make it worth it, but who knows, migjt come up with a fun idea that someone will want

 

Thanks guys!

 

Could you add some sort of electric fan to help suck air into the snorkel to bump the volume of air up...

Forced induction to help the forced induction

 

Nah, its pretty much a ram air thing anyways up at roof level. I think most snorkels are 2.25 or 2.5" or so I think the 3" or larger will get plenty of airflow through. Plus I'll be enlarging the CAI tubing to match that as well. Pretty sure the CAI uses a 3"-2.5" reducers, Id have to go look

 

I'm talking of you were to eliminate the CAI an just have the snorkel.

But I like your idea the best. Have it on a switch so you can go back an forth. Have like an RC car servo operate the flap.

 

Yea Id rather keep both. The only other thing I could think of was to increase the piping size for everything to avoid the 'breathing through a straw' dilemna and just cut another hole in the side of the CAI box and run the snorkel through that. Just throw a cap over the fender hole when I want to run the snorkel.

 

But I'd rather do it the hard way and figure out how to make this work. Even if it costs a bunch of cash, if it works itll be pretty unique.

 

So I got bored tonight and finally decided to open my skids up completely an take a look at them. I just want to thank @Pelfreybilt for there amazing work an killer customer service. You have definitely earned more of my business in the future
I have pics off all the skids besides the IFS because that's a big box and in the garage an is a whopping 12* outside right now and I'm lazy

So, I've got most of the stuff saved in my Amazon cart for the prototype, shit, close to a grand in parts I think lol. Really wish I knew how to bend and weld aluminum lol. Like I said above, might not be worth it to try to sell, but it'll sure be interesting! Found a good 3"-4"-3" inline filter I can use on the scoop side line, with all of the connectors and filter and MAF attachment, not to mention getting it all welded lol. Hardest part will be to have the least amount of sudden bends. Only one I think will be going from engine bay to out of the fender.

 

There used to be a company that would send you tubes and you make your own intake and send it back. They weld it up and send it back.

 

few little updates to follow.
found a killer deal for a basically brand new TRD PRO grille insert
ended up buying a factory color matched grille to get the matching surround. i thinks it looks better than i could of done with a rattle can.

some light snow


some heavier snow

 

After finishing Expedition overland i decided to oder a patch to support/represent
now its turning into an addiction.

 

Finally my very own toolbox! this was a christmas present from my parents. honestly probably one of the best gifts to date and so practical.

 

So a few months back when i was installing my short throw i dropped my all black shift ball on the concrete, it cracked an had a gnarly rattle. i waited for @Coupe to make a new batch an went with white this time. i like it a lot better!

 

Everythings looking good man!

 

Kinda an in progress mod, i got @CBI Offroad Fab ditch light brackets and Rigid pods
i got the brackets before the lights an couldn't wait to get them in so they are just there for a few more days my lights are scheduled to deliver on thursday
heres a few shots of the install, passenger side was a cake walk.
driver on the other hand required some work. ended up using a file an making the hole about 1/2 bigger to get it to work. Other than that easy mod an so far i love the look.

 

thanks man! Rims an tires soon!

thanks to @T-rev

 

What rigids did you go with?
