you want a welder and i just want more room so i can use mine. I've had one in my garage , in the box for almost a year!! We've been talking about selling our house so I never really set up to use it. Heck I've got an air compressor with a 33 gallon tank that's never been used either. Just waiting for the day I have my detatched 3 bay garage lol

Whay are all those intercoolers mounted so low? Is there not enough room in front of the trans cooler?

What about laying it down like that one pic Wilde posted and making a sheetmetal "scoop" for it? I do plan to use my truck offroad during hunting season, nothing serious but the more I look at it, that I/C is WAY low. May just have to park the truck at the front gate and drive my bronco in

That plastic valance gets rubbed all the time. Mine is scratched up pretty good on the bottom, mainly from driving in ruts where the middle of the road has some rock and scraping it not really bottoming it out mud bogging or anything. When it rains at the deer lease the dirt road gets really muddy and slick but not deep thats why I can get away with lowering it a bit. Once I get the front bumper off and grille Ill see what my options are, I guess at some point in time I cant have my cake and eat it too.
