Finally broke down and bought a MFC unit,hopefully it goes in without to many problems.Got a set of air cleaners from Steve that fit the build. The rear fendes are sitting on the tires for the pic still have to mount them. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...ps75488e2b.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...ps18c5dbc5.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...ps51f17371.jpg

I like the way your truck looks.But I'm sure if you redo it you'll have a show stopper by the first snow.lol
