if im going to spend all that i might as well get new wheels with 4.5 backpacking

(sorry, my phone didnt want to post the first half of the post. i do not have new wheels)

lol you could do that, I sold my saw blade wheels for $150, so really I only paid $50 for my pro comps, well $100 since I got the matching spare for the back. search craigslist thou there are always good deals on there. just got wagon wheels for my 4runner only $75 for all 4 of them, probably gonna sell the toyota alloys for more.

 

im always on craigslist but there is nothing good for sale around here. its all like parting out old blazers.

 

i think i found a solution to that problem lol
i just turned the metal part of the intake around and cut a hole in my old hood. so i have one offroading hood that i can trash and one show hood.

this is what it looks like now. let me know what you guys think, if it looks stupid or not. im eventually going to route it above the roof with some pvc but this is just temporary. and yes i know rain will go right in there. thats why im going to change hoods whenever it rains. lol



cutting the hole in the hood and painting it black just cause.



and i should have my wheel spacers by tuesday so i will let you guys know how that goes.

and the new hood if you havent already seen it.

 

That's an awful lot of work to go through every time it rains for no gain that I can tell. If you like it rock it, but I wouldn't do it on my DD at all.

 

its no problem. ive got it down to a science by now. takes 10 minutes. and i can do it by myself

 

What about if it starts raining overnight? Or while you're at work? That'd be my other main concern.

 

im always looking into the forecast. and if that happens i can just turn the thing back around. i always carry a screwdriver with me. thats all i need

 

Good answer, haha.
