| I told him to watch out but when I took a look at how he was positioned the guy was pretty small in size and they took off the whole left side! Well the major space taker was the air filter!

| Wind deflector on the rear hatch?
huh?
I understand that the wind deflector for the moonroof just keeps the wind noise and wind itself from coming in the truck with the moonroof open......but what is the wind deflector on the non opening window in back for?

The one pictured looks like it might allow air in at the top and act like our rear wings; ya know, maybe it forces air to blow down the back window to keep it from getting all dusty and stuff. |

| That looks fantastic! I was wondering the same thing about that rear-end wind deflector.
Please excuse me if I'm being naive, but what's "GulfRun"? Run by Gulf fuel?
Edit: Ahh, I see. I Google'd it and found out.

| Wongman358 : The receipt called the piece in the back a dusk deflector! *SHRUG* As for, "Gulf Run" you found the site! My Cruiser was one of 2 official support vehicle! The other one was a 2006 Chevy pick-up truck that was hauling all the fuel! We nicknamed it the Bin Laden mobile! The Ritz Carlton wouldn't let us park it at the hotel and asked us to park it in their security lot outside the hotel compound!
