i get a hood that is really over the top.

so much for a sleeper.

i wanted to clear the extremely tall intake setup i went with. i am going to ditch the 4.6 elbow after shakedown in favor of the 75mm factory TB converted to manual style. i added a bellcrank to use the factory throttle cable and cruise control. i still need to make the idle air bypass plate that goes into the driver's side of the manifold. it is going into the PCV inlet.

i really try to be conservative, but i guess you guys can tell it isn't really a character trait.

i am also using a cobras head 3" elbow to start. 4" later.
 
damn you guys are rough!!!!

it came tonight. can't paint it at night.

ricer!!! wow that kills me. man i never thought i would be called that. good thing i have thick skin.


i like the rims. but they have to go anyway. i need 315's on the back. wow . tough crowd.
 
Yeah you've got the mod bug. It is a sickness. The army moved me to Alaska, so I stored my car at my brothers house in Texas and bought me a Jeep Wrangler for Alaska. I told myself I would be able to save some money because I wouldn't be spending a lot of money modifying my vehicle. Or so I thought. Now I have a 2000 Jeep wrangler with a 6" lift sitting on 35 inch tires. I think if I had a Yugo I would have to modify it in some way. I need help but can't afford a shrink because I blow all of my money on my vehicles.

haha well nice choice in hood! :nice: you'll love it once it's finished. I wanted to try and do the sleeper look but that hood just makes it look so much sleaker IMO. :nice:
