No need to bring up memories from your child hood, We all know that's what your momma said when she gave birth to you.

To tell you tue truth I need to redo that set up. The tupperware container I used was a cheap cheap container and the heat from the engine bay started to melt it so I pulled it off. And then I also had get a new distributor so I need to waterproof that as well. So once I redo everything I'll post up some pics.

Hey I appreciation your opinion. I was going for functionality. And to be honest I actually like the way it looks. To me it doesn't at all look that bad. I've had numerous compliments on it. So if you don't like the way it looks that's fine. To each there own. My purpose in making it was not to please you.

That's all you got? Momma jokes from 1993 and Happy Birthday? Do you people just close your eyes when you pick some cheesy *** emoticon?

I could screw a 55 gallon drum to my fender, run a piece of dryer vent duct to my air box and it would be functional as well.

You don't appreciate my opinion?

Personally, had I been you I would have come straight off the intake, thru the hood, up the center of the windshield, half way down the roof and put the tree limb grabber there.

haha yes but for looks would try and hide most of that piping as i could. most of all the conduit in the upper wheel well. looking at that gives me a good idea on how to make mine though. i try and make everything i make have a professional built look.

i used 3 inch black abs and i used a 90 through the fender and it doesnt stick off far at all. Once you cut the hole trim away the part where it hits and it gets pretty tight. i used a shower drain for the top piece but in the picture its not painted. also i did not glue mine i used a thick grease to put it together to make a seal and used self tapping screws on the back side just in case it ever needed to be taken apart.

That is hilarious. LOL. And yeah, a few people are being rude, like 2 year olds, and your comment, sarcastic, didn't seem rude. I personally am not a fan of the box, but if he gets use out of it, and that's what was available, and he likes it, that should be all that matters. and truth be told, if i want to make one, it def gives me the outline to try something with this as a base. GOOD JOB on your ingenuity and design, and if your happy with it, then Thumbs up. And I am glad you are pointing people to much cheaper options than company built for more money. I am impressed with the work and design, and as Bob Barker would say, The price is Right. Good job.

And I must ask to the guy I quoted Is that really a hose going from the airbox to the cab? and did someone really try that? and How long did it take to find that pic on the net. IT IS Hilarious. LOL
