Man that sounds awesome! I can't wait to get out with my Son on some high mileage on and off road adventures! I guess for now we will have to be content with pushing it in and out of the garage after working on it Rolling Eyes Look forward to seeing pictures of the new bling!

Cheers!

I have a bigger inlet like 41/2" reduced to the actual 3" hose so it doenst have a big fast airflow whistle(likeif it were just a 3" filter). its noticable when your hard on it, sounds like a turbo spooling, but not while cruising, its tiny considering the benefits and the car it extremely loud anyways Laughing (earplugs or headphones all the time)

Nope...No dinosaurs then...YET!
But there were fish in the water and these weird kinda fish-like critters crawlin' up on the beach every now and then. Cool

I'm not so old I invented dirt, I was just the Inspector when it was manufactured.

I haven't found the program yet, but I found the poster with the same image.
So I uploaded it to my photobucket.
Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.

Note no fiberglass or carbon fiber. But it does have a radiator grille in front and the F100 Twin I-Beam, stock Ford wheels and apparently a 9" in back. Does the spare tire mount look familiar?

Some guys these days act like they invented water pumper Bajas. (not KrazyBaja tho, you're cool).
