Checked and topped all of the fluids , loaded all my recovery gear and tools into it checked everything over to make sure it's good for Moab. Tomorrow morning I'll strap down everything in the back after I put in the cooler

took the jeep out to test the new cowl intake. I can't tell if it's faster now, or if I'm just getting on the gas harder because it sounds cool.

The camber is set by the knuckles, if your camber is off you might have a bad ball joint.

Agreed, plus that dryer hose won't breath as well as the smooth elbows & tubing of the thor setup.

Personally I like the thor intake better than the other options. When I have less pressing upgrades to do it will be on the list...

Or in my case, 33 is the new 30 since my stock speedo runs faster

I got the spectre intake and love it. Its a lil cheaper then the Thor and was a nice east install.

I don't care for the design of the in-tube filter...I'm sure it works fine, I'm just particular about things.

Drove around with the doors open. Thinking about making them removable.
