What other mods (if any) have you done? I put my vote in for a CAI! Easy and not too terribly expensive.
 






what the heck is CAI?
 






I think it might be Cold Air Intake. But I am not sure, just a guess.

Yes!!! CAI=Cold air intake!!! Using the conical style air filter and such.... look around, there are deals to be had. :)

I am slowly edging up the mod ladder.... I started with Rancho shocks, then the CAI, and I await the arrival of the 'mighty' XCalII flash programmer (sold to me from another friendly forum member ;)).

My goal, you ask? Versatility.... I want better mileage, like everyone else, and yet maintain the 4x4 ability to tackle forest service roads and the like. I want to be in between the road-machines and the heavy-duty off-road monsters.... if there is such a thing.... if nothing less, I'll have fun trying! :)
 






where can i buy a used cai????? Is there a section on this forum? Thanks for all your reply's
 












yes there is a classified section. Search ebay they have them on there, you can make your own which is what I did.

I checked you cardomain site i didn't see any pictures you think you can post some and maybe a brief description im going to give it a shot building my own...or ordering from e-bay...how is the fitments is there anything i should look for as far as model's?
 






I didn't have a cam when I built it, I'll see if I can snap some pics today of it and post'em. For what i spent experimenting with different ghetto intakes I could have bought a cheapie off ebay. Supposedly you can have an exhaust shop weld together a 3 inch tube to accomplish the CAI. I noticed a little improvement with the cai. Custom redneck efan, cai, and exhaust I haven't noticed much improvement over stock. Granted I never do. Felt improvement with the xcal 2 though.
 






im gonna check e-bay for a cheap one im just worried about the fitment...most of the stuff on e-bay you cant return
 












well i guess its worth a try!!!!
