Added in an oil catch can today. Made a custom bracket that used the two studs coming off the firewall. Looks like this is where it should have been factory.

Finally got the rock sliders welded on!
Made some frame braces to weld on first.

How do you know when the oil catch can is full?
Sliders look great!

160k on the stock coils. I think it’s time for a little upgrade. Changing out to NGK Audi R8 coil packs. Just need to order up the plug adapters.

well I got around to getting the NGK Ruthenium plugs, Audi R8 NGK coil packs and Z1 off-road intake manifold spacer installed the other day.

There is definitely a difference in the smoothness of the idle, also it is a smoother pull when you punch it. Just all in all getting a better fuel burn. I don’t care too much on HP gains but a little better torque and better MPG will be nice.

Redesigned the switch mount to also hold the Bully Dog tuner next to it.

I'll be very interested in how it works for you. Sometimes I see these called "batwing" awnings. Interesting they claim no poles needed... at least with no wind. I know my regular awning is fairly fragile...

Finally getting this roof rack together! Waiting on some more hardware to show up and then I can build the mounting brackets.
