Here are the air filter mounts I built. I compared it to a Downey open element kit one of our customer rigs has on it, and mine is wwaayyy stronger and more rigid than Downeys so im sure the refs will be happy. Two mounts one directly underneath and one to the side..

There's a shot of the 1.5" wheel spacer installed on my pass. rear.

There's a shot of the muffler with the wrap. Now the entire exhaust system is wrapped up, not something I was planning on doing, but its nice. I think I still need to build a heat shield around the battery, and also some kind of skid guard in case I get some rocks close to the frame rail there... Sorry about the crappy picture, I had my camera set up wrong in the morning  :slap:

Also there's a shot of both heater lines now mounted up on the fire wall. The left line (with the valve) needed a bolt to be welded onto the firewall but I was able to find a factory '81 bolt hole for the other line...
