Post subject:  LTT True Cold Air Intake for KJ's
I have the first couple of the intake scoops and airbox adapters ready to ship out. I know these work on 05-07 models. Jeepjeepster is checking fitment on the 02-04 models now. If this version doesn't fit the 02-04, I will make another version for them as well. I will posts updates here as they come. I do not know if these will fit the KK, but if someone wants to try, or give me the info needed to make a KK version, I will be happy to make one for them too. The cost is a tad higher than I initially had quoted. The reason being, I forgot to include the cost of the support material for the 3D printer that I had to buy too. Remember, I am not making money on these. I am just sharing my design with all of you that had an interest. These are built on a 3D printer (rapid prototyping machine). The material is ABS plastic.

Grill intake scoop: $45
Airbox adapter for 3" hose/tubing: $50
Shipping one or both of the pieces listed above to anywhere in the continental US via USPS 3 Day Priority Mail: $12.95
. I checked shipping prices other than that,
. and shipping parcel post post required me
. to buy my own boxes. Added all up, it was
. only a couple dollars less, and I figure
. most would rather have the faster shipping.
If you want me to ship outside of US, I can quote that to you individually.

If you want one of these, just PM me. I will take payments via Paypal. I have 2 of the scoops and 2 of the airbox adapters ready now. I can only use the machine after hours and on weekends, so I will be taking orders on a first come, first serve basis. Please be patient on these initial orders, since it seems that a lot of you are interested. I'll create a running/waiting list for the initial orders and fill them ASAP. You won't need to pay until I have yours built and ready to ship. Then once I have yours built, you pay, and then I'll ship to you.

The hose to run between the scoop and the airbox is just 3" aluminum dryer vent hose that you can pick up at any Lowe's or Home Depot. You can use hose clamps if you want, but they really aren't needed. It fits pretty snug without them. You can also pick up a couple of plastic push-in rivets at the hardware store too for mounting.

I used both pieces on mine. However, dieselenthusiast is going to just use the intake scoop and then cut a 3" hole in the bottom/side of the airbox with a hole saw to feed his airbox. He has promised pics of that setup once he has it done.

If you have any questions about these, feel free to ask.

Here are some pictures

I just cut the rubber barrier piece horizontally just above the second hole. Then I folded it back behind in case I ever need to go back stock.

Post subject: 
Yes. I am making them and selling them for material cost only. I made one for myself and showed it in another thread and several had interest and wanted one. So now I am making them for anyone here that is interested.

ummmmhey there blue kj....I hate to be a smarta$$ but try re-reading his whole 1st post. It has Everything you need to know in it.

His post states Cost, what he made and how he made it.

I will be ordering the airbox adapter soon. I believe the scoop I have should work Ok, just need to verify diameter.

Wow you are the man. I was following the other post, hoping you would go through with this. I definitely want the grill intake scoop if jeepjeepster can make his fit. I'll by tracking this post intently. Once again, you are the man for taking the time to do this and sell it for cost.

Got a chance to try it out on thursday. The back of the funnel hits on the side of the head light and the radiator support. If the back of it was trimmed off some it may slide on back in. The rubber shield would probably need to be cut out so it would fit past the condenser lines too. I tried to pull mine back and it was hitting the funnel but that stuff is kinda thick. The lower tab would also need to be cut off.

Definitely doesnt fit as nice as the 05+.. :(

Got an ice storm this week and my power has been off all week.. Saying it may be on by monday.. :?

Tom and friends are going to take a look at how to make one that would fit today at the Ohio "training". Hopefully they can mock-up something that will work on the early models. Then I will model it in CAD and do a test print. Looks like it is going to have to have quite a few changes. I'll keep at it though...
