BTW, nice truck you have .. looks like a lot of the same mods I have coming
to me! My heat shielding looks similar to your cardboard ones (except
they're outta galvanized steel). The only difference is the one that runs
along the side of the filter: mine is extended forward a little further and
angled a bit toward the driver side and then sticks out front right beside
the rad .. I'm not sure if your A/C lines will get in the way or not ... I
don't have A/C (at least it looks like A/C lines from the pics on your
website)
PS was it as big a pain for you to get around the cruise control module as
it was for me!?
