Wow! Excellent job Mike. It looks great. Can you post some pics under the hood of how that all works?

One thing I did NOT expect, was the pickup and slightly increased throttle response...it was noticeable. Cruiserdan said the same thing about his snorkel install. The stock intake line on the 80 goes into the fender wall and has a "silencer" / "baffle" and some kind of trap to keep water, debris out...it does a good job (in fact, there was ZERO trash in there) but VERY restrictive on air flow. The air cleaner itself is HUGE and Cyclonic just like NON-USA diesels only larger and has a dust/debris collector with rubber flap to let water out but not in. Anyway, this is just my Turbo/SC preparation step. I'll post under the hood pics later.

Scott, I was passing by Women's and Children's today and saw what I assume is your new toy. I picked up my son and we drove by to take a look at it. It looks pretty good to my untrained eye. Never saw one in person, kinda looks like a FJ limo hehe.

Thanks. She sits in limbo as Casey & Casey Title Company have screwed w/ me on 3 occasions now. Last, they say that I'll need to go to the DMV in Carencro to get it done. Yeah, I cursed a buncha bad words.
Thanks again, I love the rig... it needs some lovin. It did have a life as a "limo" of sorts as it appears that it was used as a taxi in Australia. Got all the fixins of a cab minus the little hula girl. I hope to fix it up and clean it up a bit. Only wish it was diesel. However, then he wouldn't have sold it.
Come on by some time.

What's the deal with Caseyx2? I did my title over there and it was a piece of cake?
It is a cool looking rig. As for it being a limo, I hope so. We could all pile in there with our mispelled BSLCA shirts on and ride all over town, stopping to talk to people about the need to improve the educational system in this state!

We're last (ms) that's why they were mispelled. We're gonna make it right. You can wear the mispelled shirt when wrenching now. Sorry guys. I usually never miss that type stuff. Especially on Cruiser shirts!

No problem. Nobody in this forum is perfect. I mean, we're close - we drive cruisers. At least you misspelled (and we didn't notice) the word cruiser. Those other folks still spell their vehicle name "jeep." Everybody knows it's spelled "heap."

I heard that  .
The guy I bought my bumper from is making me nervous. I want to get the bumper mounted and the winch installed before the trip. Wish i could have done lockers to right now but they will be next.
hopefully you wont have to jerk me out of too many holes

ck it marty, you, tyler, and i will have no lockers. also i am not sure the type of tire your running, but tyler, has at's and marty at the moment has at's and if it's real muddy trust me we will be hard pressed to find good traction on hills any way with mt's. just depends on terrain.
we will still be in the same boat as you.
it's gonna be hella fun. your gonna do a trail that is kinda cute and hilly to get the feel of the vehicle then it will be on. we will take in steps. by saturday we will be pushing it a bit or at least i know i will.
learn your vehicles trail manners and limits without lockers is key i find so the next time you will be even more comfortable.
trust me we ain't headed for the 5+ trails off the bat.
i just bought this sucker and picked her up on the 27 of aug. this is gonna be a maiden voyage for me in the starship war pig...............
