they are too pricey for my blood! i was gonna go that route and then cody turned me on to the napa batts.

havent noticed any problems, i still want to go back and build some sort of protective box of sorts just for piece of mind, but again, i have had no problems

yezzir, i use it ALL THE TIME. i will never go without it again. i am actually in the process of cleaning up the system and make it more pleasing to the eye. i have a 2.5 gal tank with air horns and an air hose reel. the air hose reel was placed there mainly for one reason, trailers. i wanted the hose to reach all four trailer tires for air up and the impact if i had a blow out. it has saved my butt more than once. that compressor will keep up with IR titanium no problem. i have high idle on my chip so when i am using OBA i flip my chip and air builds quick and stays up. my biggest hurdle was when i put in my intercooler. i had to cut and modify the IC tube on the pass side but it wasnt bad.

solenoid for the horns

not so far, i am keeping a close eye. i left the bottom open so i dont get a buildup under the batts like what would happen in the engine bay.

correct, dont really need another. i dont drag race or anything, it just helps to keep the trucks rear from lifting up when i get on it.

I guess they are running a filter at work. I could not see the pics there. I am home now and see it fine.

Looks good.

Wow.. Thats interesting!!! I kinda like it.. Perhaps build an addition guard under there to keep them safe? Thats pretty slick!

FordPride.. Awesome headlights.. Seen those and wanted to see them more up close and all together with the grill.. Very sharp! Thats the direction I wanted to go! Nice!
