    my cucv ram-air project

    No pics but i bought a AIRAID intake flex pipe at Advance Auto $20 and installed it on my stock intake then ran the hose through the knock out in the grill. 10 min install. The tube was very tight to get around the oblong opening on the factory intake. Then i install a K&N. Done deal.

    AS-1729/VRC antenna cb conversion

    I mounted the antenna mount on the back right side on the truck. Then I mounted the AB-15 to the bracket. It's a perfect fit. Then tied the antenna down to the front brush guard on the truck. I hope this helps.
