Made a pair of mid flaps for the truck. My stock "shin" guards fell apart after first desert outing. After my last trip to the dunes I noticed my rear shocks completely sand blasted at the axle mount. So to protect the stock rear shocks, or whatever shocks I install in the future made mid flaps. Pretty basic, angle aluminum off the stock body mount to the mounting location for the factory side steps. I dont run side steps so it was an easy spot. 5/16" hardware, 1/2" thick big rig mud flap I found, held to the body with wing nuts for quick install and removal. Ill see how well the work when I make a trip out to Central Oregon Desert next week.

Wondering why you went with a pro charger? I see all the roots blowers you port on FB. I talked to you on FB a couple years ago about buying a used roush supercharger you had but I backed out because I was scared of my 2010 with 80k mi on it. Now I have my 13 and have been looking and asking everywhere trying to find a deal on a used whipple or roush and cannot get lucky. I have found 5 different pro charger set ups used, 2 for under $3000. But after seeing the torque curve between the 2 different kinds, pro charger vs roots type, my mind is made up that I need a roush or whipple. The roots torque comes in much lower in the rpms, where it's needed to move a 3 ton truck. I was shocked to see that you wanted a pro charger, just wondering why?

Well one ease of install

Warranty in case I have to pull the blower it's a quick swap.

Sound at idle and bov sound

From what I read is it runs a separate belt.

Just want a fun blower that makes noise that can keep me from spending thousands on a lightning or Ctsv to try and go fast. Call this my remedy for spending money. Spend 5-10,000 vs the $25,000 I almost spent on a g8.

Which resale of a raptor done right and tastefully is better then a g8.
