Thankyou ! It has a ******** hard fiberglass tonneau cover but took it off to do the install... It locks but figure if a thief really wants it he is gonna get it, lol... The truck is Always locked in a enclosed trailer at the races but the one time I let my guard down is when something will happen

Its obvious that my ideas aren't the same as many but they are 1 off and tried to step ” out of the box” rather than follow everyone elses ideas....

I am not the one bagging on you. The point of a build thread is to show the progression of the vehical. If you start a new thread ever time no one will be able to see that. the thread was just down tword the bottom of the page so it wasnt really hard to find...

I would put a hinged mount on the filter so that it could be raised out of sight.

Then again, I am like stealthy vehicles that don't really advertise.

lol are you serious? A car at 10mph would probably not do any more damage than taking the paint off the bumper.

If he were stopped and a car hit him at 35+ then maybe. Or if his truck was lifted and the car could go right under, but that truck doesnt sit that high.

The speed limit on that street was only 30 and she had hit the brakes a good ways before she hit me so she couldnt have been going that fast. Didnt do **** to my truck but taco'ed her hood and front clip. If I had a filter on my truck like his it wouldve been hit for sure.
