OH MY GOD....... You cut a hole in your fender LOL....... And from the looks of It you would drown before your x would ingest some water huh..... I don't know much about off roaring but don't you have to water proof like everything before you start forgeing rivers and crap..... Like silicone the distributer they plug wires and run hoses to the tranny vents and stuff like that also all the connectors and stuff right .... Hhmmnm just wondering

Thanks for all the comments! Yeah, it sounds nice, you can really hear the intake now.

As far as driving through deep water, I don't plan to be fording any rivers or anything, but at least I won't hydrolock if I do!

Hey Anthony, I was looking at the link in your sig and saw this in your mod list "Darlington UB Skidderz"... Do they still make these and are they as useful as I imagine they would be???

Unfortunately, Darlington is out of business as far as I know...

They are a very useful mod, so hopefully someone out there will pick up where darlington left off.

They replace the lower leafspring mount (which includes the lower shock mount), and allow the bottom of the springs to skid over rocks and such rather than get hung up.

They protect the Ubolts and the shock mounts.

That is the same company (Darlington Offroad), but the link is dated June 03, 2000. About 7 years before they went out of business last year. ;)


Joe Darlington did make a couple of them last year for some people on XF , who called him to ask (in December or January I think), but that was the last I heard of any being made. If you want to call him, I think I might have his number somewhere.
