The OEM filter box is big enough to fit that? I admit I have not paid much attention to it, but none of my other vehicles have had that kind of space. I may have too look into one of those.
I hope so. I ordered one the other day. Giving up my afe cold air intake, to get a snorkle. Still want some sound.

All it took was 2 cans of each for all 4 fenders? How does the texture look compared to the factory textured plastics?
Yes, 2 cans of each (actual Coors Lights consumed not all pictured).
Didn't look bad after the 1st can of Raptor, but the 2nd can really gave it a nice texture.
Definitely more of a texture with the Raptor over the factory plastic feel.

Thanks for sharing! I may do this to some Rubicon Fenders I have that are not the right color.

The 70's Called.
They wanted their antenna back.
Rydonair RD-RMRNJ 12.8"
As someone else cautioned, the aluminum mounting adapter has black paint on the threads. Clean this off so you get good metal-to-metal contact with the brass insert.

Am/Fm radio is so 70's. I removed mine altogether. Mounted a window one on the inside back glass and put a badge w/ badgeglow in the antennas place. Symmetry

The 2K Raptor is good stuff. I got a great deal on the flares but they had some scuffs and scratches so I lightly sanding them out and then hit with 2K Raptor to see how well it covered. Worked perfectly - they look like they could have come factory that way.

I clear coated the uppers just to see how it would turn out. Hoping for the best of both worlds - the durability of the 2k Raptor/SprayMax with the look of a glossy black painted flare. It was overcast and misty when these pics were taken today so it's hard to tell. Also, with the clear finish they should be easier to wipe down without destroying a micro-fiber cloth when washing.

Dang. Thats strong. I'll have to look into them. I only need the rear because I don't use the freedom panels. And in black. But ill probably do this. Any extra storage is a good thing.
