alot of really great ideas here...but the one i was hoping to see aint here yet. anybody built their own posi-lock to replace the vacuum actuated 4x4 stuff?
im sure if the vac system is kept up its fine...but a cable actuated set-up has got to be trouble free...doesnt it?
those $180 kits ive seen on feebay look like the manufacturer must making about $170 in profit....

all that you need to do is take it apart, line it up to where the collar is locked in then put spacers on each side of the fork and put it back together.

did that too, it was cheap and almost easy, shaving down the cast so the right seal can fit in was time consuming but it worked, i found the easiest was to swap in a non disco housing.

Thats not a CAI. Its the same warm-air intake as the stock airbox but with a cotton cone filter in place of the air-box.
a True CAI would be isolated from the heat of the engine bay and suck its air from the cooler outside air.

Corrugated plastic would be best. Plastic has a low thermal conductivity and the corrugation adds to that. Not only would it need a heat shield but it'd also need to be completely insulated from the engine bay and have a source of fresh air from outside the engine bay to truly be a CAI>
