What did you do with your stock box?? I'm sure you could find a stock box for cheap somewhere.

I'm using a Airaid CAI with mine. I modded the Airaid box to fit with the snorkel. Didn't take much to do it.

Welcome to the snorkle club! When you do the job, be SURE to measure right, take your time, and do the cutout template perfect. Dont do it outside during a blizzard like I did and f#%& stuff up. Just get a stock airbox somewhere, buy some asphalt roofing cement in a tube, some zinc rich primer,some lock tite, and a six pack and youll be fine. Just make sure you relax and take your time and measure right.
Enjoy this life, cause it's all we're getting.

:cheers: Sixer check! Just waiting form the UPs man. And a big thanks for the heads up on how NOT to F this this up. I will fallow your advice. Its spring run off time here and thats when the "stream" crossings get really intresting :shock:
One of my favorite local trails has a few 'crossings that would compare to Fordyce creek in CA. I sank a Toyota riding 40's trying one crossing last year. :cheers:

I just threw out my whole stock air intake off of my 2004 HD Hemi 2 weeks ago. I figured I wouldn't need it anymore with the new truck. Now I'm wishing I would have held onto it.

Just make sure you carry a couple spare pulley's with you. They really don't like being under water especially if its muddy!

true statement :) Get the idler pulley's from Advance they are metal and a lot better design. Also fluid filming them or using some type of water resistant lube will help as well.
