    I checked the scintered filter by blowing water through it before installing and figured I'd be replacing it with stainless steel, actually stainless coated copper, scouring pad material.
    It will be replaced within 150 miles so it should be OK until then.

    For those who have bolted a bracket to the bolt holes on the side of the inner fender what size and thread bolt did y’all use?

    wish I could. ATHFab bracket wouldn’t be high enough for my WarFab Phantom.

    measure the holes with a $10 caliper and look up what bolt size options you have.

    and decide if you want to bore any of those holes out. I did and will, for side markers and side turn signals on flare delete.

    Just drove from Tennessee to Colorado, and noticed my fuel mileage getting worse as I continued to drive.

    At my second to last fill up, I got only 40 miles after a quarter tank of gas.

    When I went to fill up again, I checked all over under the hood to see if there was anything obvious to cause such poor fuel mileage. Finally checked my catch can, and it was VERY full! Dumped the blow by and cleaned it. -> fuel efficiency back to Normal.



    Friendly reminder, check your catch cans often.
