well as long as it comes out some how. Very Happy

at least you won't have to disassemble the garage around the car.

how many lights are you gonna run on your rack? and how big?

The rack was built for four of the kragen 7" hid's. Those aren't very high on my buying list right now but after the cars all set up and driving I will be buying them.

okay cool. I'm gonna start building a rack for my car and i'm trying to figure how big and how many lights i want, etc.

i'm keeping it simple though and just modifying an all metal beetle roof rack.

I notice you're running a Fram PH8A filter. I've got the same full-flow setup on my car, and run the Fram HP1. Seems like someone mentioned pressure issues with smaller filters (like splitting them with a cold engine). Have you heard anything like that?

Post subject: 90xj's baja build Posted: Thu Apr 02, 2009 03:11 AM

i have heard of people blowing up filters.... never seen it done. but that ph8a is a filter i had already so im going to use that for now. i plan to run a wix racing filter (much much more filtering capability than the fram comparable units)

when you say your running the same full flow system your running a "in & out" pump?

that was my original plan but i didnt think it would fit the build of the car or the look the car had.
