I like your intake tube...you still running that setup?
Are you getting cold air in from that? I can't tell from the pic exactly where it goes below the MAF.

Yeah I'm still running that. The air is traveling a much shorter distance and I'm getting cooler air. From the stock location all the air was real hot (I have headers). The filter goes right next to the driver's-side headlamp, and below that is just a big opening. I extended the MAF wires by cutting the harness, leaving an inch of wire, then soldering 14 gauge wire to that. Didn't notice any differences from the extension. I've heard the Ford MAFs use pulse over voltage for their readings, so that may be why. I'll try to update this weekend. Got a few new things.

Plan on taking new pics tomorrow (these are a year old).

Exhaust sound clip (right click, save as): http://www.huskyfan23.com/exhaust.wav This was recorded with my digital camera almost 7 feet to the left of the rear passenger-side wheel. You hear a start from cold, idle, rev to 3k, and slow acceleration from 800 to 4500k.

These are Whelen Hideaway strobes. I mounted them to the left (on driver-side, right on passenger-side) of the reverse bulb behind the same lens. No, I never thought of that. I just wanted to draw some visual attention when my alarm went off.

Well.. had a $1100 tranny repair so mods are sort of in a pause. I ordered a driver-side heated mirror with flood light off a second gen, gonna see if it bolts up. I'm planning on do-it-yourself signal mirrors. Besides that, I can't really think of any other mods to do.
