I’ve been hearing lots of good things about that product lately.

I've been wondering how it compares, may have to pick up a few cans.

Cowl Intake came today... Man are these guys big on stickers. There were 4 in the box.
Now let's see when I can find the time to install it.

I went back to the factory intake for awhile but have been running the Banks with a dry filter for some time now.

Well I waaasss planning on getting everything finished with the Highline this weekend but my truck had other plans. So all my extra free time went to fixing the important money making vehicle.
Did manage to snag an hour and spray all the new parts with the STEEL-it stuff.
Lays on real thick! Hopefully it holds up.

Those pesky V10 trucks... you need to get rid of it. I'd be glad to relieve you of it

You've got a V10? I bought one a year ago. Been super impressed with mine while dragging the Jeep around the state, all while half the price of the oil burning variants.

I love it! The only times I've ever wished I had more was when I'm pulling up the canyons. I pull a lot of trailers for one of my jobs and it handles it very well.

Installed the THOR air intake and it was pretty annoying to get the hole cut clean. Lots of wiring and junk in the way. I was dumb and didn't take pictures of the process.
Very simple overall, just a really annoying hole to cut if you don't have a fancy tool. Combination of Sawzall, Cutoff wheel, and a half round file got the job done well enough that I was happy with it.

The next headache is figuring out how to mount the battery and the fuse box... I may just build a new little bracket for the fuse box. But I'm unsure on how to tie down the battery...

Also managed to almost perfect paint match the fender inserts to the wheels. Mixed two of the closest colors I could find and it worked great!
Did you get the aluminum inner fenders? The TJ we did last winter had a decent ledge for attaching the fuse block on the inner fender. I don't think they would be hard to build your own if you have access to a brake. This post has one of the better pictures of the fuse block mounting, for the batter I think we uses a NAPA/O'Reilly basic J bolt kit.

Not much to take pictures of today, but the 2nd and 3rd coats went on all of the fenders, flares and fender supports. So far it has taken a total of two full bottles of the liner to coat everything thus far.

Here is how it sits currently. I'll have to do some touch up to the hood to get it to sit perfect, and I still need to mount the battery, Fusebox, and Evap Canister. But I am super happy with the look!

I've been on the fence about doing the inner fender. First because I don't want to spend another $300. Second because I love how roomy it is without them... but it would make it much easier to mount things.Did you get the aluminum inner fenders?
