And with that bummah of a rant out of the way, here's my
thousandth post on NEXTerra!
I like my milestone posts to coincide with milestone mods, so here we go.
Frankly, I was kinda jealous of Nick (Firedawg225)'s old silver rig when he built it up (and then got rid of it!) but I've found ways to acquire parts of it here and there. Justin (jfernengel89...is he on here?), as we all know, picked up Nick's rig and lived the dream. Recently, he posted up wanted to get rid of a certain something, and I had the exact something he needed in trade to get his truck to where he wants it, and that's how I ended up with a snorkel!
So I drove out to his place today, and we simply swapped fenders - took just over an hour to get both off, switch, hook up the intakes and button back up. Took longer for me to drive one way. Even though our rigs were built a year apart, the silver matches perfectly on both - I inherited some of his wheeling dings, and instead of a giant gaping hole he got a nice clean fender.
Now sucking at a higher levelI'm gonna get a mushroom-style head for it, there are folks out there who have had success. It's currently hooked up to my OEM air box (but then, it was on Justin's) but I have a Volant collecting dust (the wrong way) that will eventually be hooked up.
Thanks Justin!
