Just realized never posted pics of the k&n install. After the install I realized I needed some protection from water after removing the lower airbox so here are a few of what I came up with..
What I ended up doing is modding the lower airbox to fit with intake and provide protection from water. There is more details under the intake section..
Next up is front and belly skid to prepare for Whispering Pines with 07JeepXK and few local rigs, then once money allows it, sliders will be next.
