Since it semi cleared up today from rain, I finally installed the CARRS4x4 intake tube.
Extremely easy to replace. The only irritating part I found was removing the old worn foam adhesive from my intake fender elbow. I found it easier to soak it in hot water with a dash of dish wash soap. I rubbed away the old foam, dried it with a paper towel and added the beefier red gasket.
It looks great and I’m finally rid of the torn apart rats nest. Lol
I’ve been wanting to replace both stripped plastic nuts that hold the fender elbow in place. I might replace it with nutserts and bolts when I break down and get a nutsert kit.
