it sounds funny but you might make your cover out of a milk jug. cut the handle portion of the top then flip it over onto the filter. and run a screw down the center from top down, just a idea.

Why the Gen 1 front end? Not trying to be critical just wondering your thoughts between the Gen 1 and Gen 2 front ends.

Wow, talk about a hoord orniment. At about 15 feet away that "snorkle" could completely block out small children. Better put that bumper back on.

Just wonderin why you didn't use some PVC and run it up the A?

That looks like a dangerous addition...I would never drive that on the road. Probably safe to keep thattruck offroad for the rest of her days.

you need a new hood... or you'd end up with a 10in hoodstack to cover the gap and no visibility, my buddy has a 4in on his puller and it's dangerous as hell.
