Truck looks great. I'm on the hunt right now for a white H3 Alpha. Might have to "borrow" some of your ideas.....

Found a stock H3 at the college and pulled up to compare rides.
The difference is there. I just wish it was a bit more. I have around ~2 inches more height. I'm just guessing. Just wish it was a bit more to be honest, ha.
Another view.
Finally took the 3 wheeling a bit the other day with one of my buds. He drives a Jeep (I know...). Had some fun though
Just a lot of sugar sand out here, no biggie.
The only thing you have to worry about over here is any sugar sand next to ponds....they'll give way and you might get pulled in and get stuck in sand/water slush. Easy way to tip over too. Almost happened to me.
Also on the verge of ordering Blistein front leveling shocks here in the next few days. I've heard that others just simply put spacers between the stock shock mount points and kept their stock shocks? Any input or feedback regarding this?

Install day.
The Air Docs intake kit comes with a pretty detailed set of instructions. But it was an extremely easy install.
A close up on the clearance dent in the tube
First thing was to take off the existing resonator box and a couple pieces of tubing. Simple enough, all done with a 10mm socket wrench.
While I was at it, I disconnected the mass airflow sensor and the top of the cold air intake.
Removed the filter and found dirt and sand on the underside of it, and more in the bottom portion of the air box. Since it was pretty caked on, I removed it and thoroughly cleaned all debris out.
Clean!
Bolted her back in and whipped out the new filter from K&N.
So from my experience from this install, I know now that there's really no room for a throttle body spacer. IDK how some of the other people have a TBS and an Air Docs because there's simply no room.
The tubing was a b**** to get on though. I tried connecting everything after putting the top back on the air box, but found it easier to loosely put together everything on the top portion of the airbox while disconnected, then installing it as one piece to the throttle body, tightening all connections after some adjustments.
Done! I thought about painting the tube matte black at first...but I like it the way it came, very nice finish.
Real world gains???? Not really sure, haven't had enough time with it yet. With the new filter and the resonator delete, the Air Docs system definitely sounds different at WOT in the upper RPM ranges. Overall, I think it is worth it.
I want to thank Doc for this great product, and for the extremely fast shipping, wow!
I want to continue with the mods, just can't make up my mind on the next ones....any suggestions?

Have you thought about dipping your two breather caps black?
or
Do the whole center area of the hood and the louvers from the grill back to the wind shield?

I do have a mod suggestion. If you have not already, do the PCMforless tune, set for the intake and CAT back, then you will see what an almost complete package can do.
I am not sure I would rush into an Efan conversion in FL because it will be running a bunch with the AC much of the year down there, but you could also look at a port polished TB?

Thank you for your business and support!

Thanks Doc! I'm looking into Supermodulation's ported throttlebody, not sure if it's polished...but I've emailed him earlier today. Do you think that's a good bet? I've seen people pretty happy with theirs on the Colorado forum. I'm definitely getting a pcm4less tune sometime, either soon or after the ported TB (if I do end up going that route).
