Ok guys. Sold some stock and got some spendin money.... I'm ordering a propane kit... I can't decide between te MC bumpers or wab fabs... any suggestions? I'm also about to get chevy 63s and an aussie to go up front. I'll be goin to moab in october should I worry about regearing? With the chevy springs I might end up goin to a 35" tire or should I just stay with what I got?

Some people have asked me aout my snorkel. Well here's how I did it... I only have one pic but you can get the just of how its done.. I got all the parts from home depot and autozone
1- 2" exhaust flex pipe.
1- 2" copper 90degree elbow
1- 2" to 4" pvc reducer
1- type C gas vent
Couple tubes of silicone.
Just route the flex pipe out of the orig airboxes inlet hole affix with silicone. Use a 2 1/4" holesaw to get into the cowl. Attach your copper 90 to your flex pipe inside the cowl, silicone it. Then attach your pvc reducer to the elbow, silicone it and then cut a 2" hole in your cowl for the top of the elbow to fit through. Attach the gas topper and let it dry and your done. I did mine strictly for trail temps. Haven had any waterproblems during the rain.. total cost was I think around 30 bucks.

I should note that because I put my topper where I did my d side windsheild wiper can't be used. I simply modified the psides to swing towars the drivers side. Like they always say... measure twice cut once. Simple oversight on my part. Shoulda moved it towards the cetr of the truck about 2 inches
