It's free baby! <~~(my Scotty Nguyen imitation)

You cut a hole in your front grille to facilitate airflow to your filter.

Do a quick search and you'll get a bunch of threads with pictures and info.

Pic of my Zoodad, cut into header panel just to the right of AC Condenser as you face the front of truck. You can see the AIS intake tube behind the holes. I never had the need to open it up more. I have a foam fender sleeve feeding more air to the hole I cut in back of the AIS filter housing.

Well I was going to ask that question myself. So how did they come with that name. Zoodad. Sounds like a crazy man.

Zoodad is the user name of the man who first came up with the idea, so when someone hung the moniker on the mod, it stuck.

I did that in another thread and got accused of "belittling" him or something like that... Someone else can do it this time....
