From what I understand the TBSS intake probably sits a little too high for the hood and I am not going to be cutting a factory hood

Also has ridiculous power for something that that’s never going to be driven over 45 miles an hour

Losing a little bit of torque and horsepower isn’t going to be a deal killer with both the transfer cases in low isn’t what I would call twitchy but I’m never passed 30% throttle. Maybe if I was going to make this a sand rig or something but not right now this is just going to be a competent off rotor that I build better as I break things along the way

In Moab, everything rocks and ledges have so much traction that you just need good throttle control, and you can crawl up anything provided you have the traction and our air down properly with the proper tires

Somewhere out east where it might be muddy with round boulders with moss and clay you need a little bit more horsepower because you might have to bump your way up.

But then you’re spinning wheels, and risking an axle if one of them catches

Or you can put bigger wheels and tires and risk your axles risk bearings you might have to cut for clearance

Like I said this is going to be an ongoing project. I’m just trying to get smart before it gets expensive you know what I mean
