RAM Air?

I know of the Zoo-Dad, but today while doing the front 05 conversion I decided to drill hole on this side of the grille. The usual place where everyone drills has a cover to force the air into the condensor. And since the Excusrion has 2 A/C's I wanted to insure all the air continues to route directly there.

I drilled 4 1.5" holes. I may connect each 2 together later on.

Thes holes get fed through the driver side openning in the grille.

I did a similar project once for a Western Diesel kit on a customers truck. I think I removed alot more of the bulk head than that, so you should be good to keep cutting.

An intresting trick I use alot on plastic, that makes that and bedliner modification easy, is to put a roto-zip bit in a drimel with a flex shaft. It makes a mess, but it cuts through the plastic with ease and is very controllable.

I totally forgot about my dremel tool. I can use the rotozip blade to connect them together to one big oppening.
