Thank you! Phoenix is hard on stickers, so I've got to scrape about half of them off and find more.

The fog lights are just regular OEM fogs (or maybe Win Jet OEM knock offs?) we 3D print the fog light covers and sell them occasionally on badcraftmotors.com

The cat security scare light is an idea I have that needs a little more development before it will exist. I figure a shutter sound and a strobe would surprise almost anyone into fleeing the scene. I don't know how to test the theory without building it and seeing how it does.

There are a couple good element specific cat shields out there that are $200-$300. I'm developing one also, but it isn't any better/different than the others (except that it will have my logo on it ¯\(ツ)/¯ )

Glad you like the build =) I put it all here hoping someone will save a little time learning from my mistakes and mods.

Would your own cat shield be more economical than the other ones to purchase, will it be stainless steel?

Small question.. Where did you get the black bumper type things on the front of your roof. They look pretty spiffy! Or are those led's?

We also sell those on our site 🤫 we’ve got to run a quick invententory before we relist them as in stock.
The website is new though 🥳 if you want to check it out.
Ill shoot you a private message when we put them online so youve got a heads up and can snag a set before we sell out.

Its absolutely stainless steel. Im trying to do it for $200, but I've got to see the real world costs of hardware. Once I’ve fully tested it on a few stock cats ill run a preorder and you can get 10-15% off, though, which should put it around $175 (8/21)

Closing the shop. Its just too much work for not enough to survive on.
Ill still do limited runs when i make stuff (the mold is often half the battle)

ill have one or two sets of door molding here soon and another complete run of lower bumper trim…

back to it being a fun hobby.
I have 2-3 more “**** right off” shields that are $225 and mostly bolt right up on any AWD that has an aftermarket cat (post initial theft ).
They dont fit OEM catalytics without grinding off the heat shield mounts.

next up and a new post because im curious about bolt on power:

So, ive been playing around with ways to eek just a lil more power out of the K24a and think I’ve got a bead on the best bets considering were an AT and that means none of the after market tuning solutions will work for us.

BUT we can reset our ECU tune and it will fudge a few things based on what sort of air flow and fuel ratio we've got going:

<enter the world of speculation>
When our cat was stolen, we replaced the entire system with 2.25” pipe and new catalytic, resonator, and muffler.
After resetting the ECU (unplug that bish at the bettery and one additional fuse somewhere) we got a little but more pep in our step.

im thinking about picking up an RBB and having a muffler shop fab us a new downpipe.

this wont make much difference if don't up my air intake or if my fuel cant keep up, so im also looking at ways to improve the airbox.
A decade back or so a guy claimed good results by adding a ram air in from the grill to pull cooler air before it heats uo in the engine bay (plus a 6 speed MT he claimed 30mpg on the highway)

we’re rocking 19-20mpg because of lift and tires, but also could use a lil bump in MPG if we could swing it. Also, 5% taller gearing (from our tires) was noticeable and id love about 5% more power to make up the difference 😈

So: anyone have any airbox ideas other than the swiss cheese? We still fjord washes in AZ and id rather snorkle than cold air intake, but there are a lot of ways to catch air.

Secondly, anyone know where our factory fuel injectors top out? Can i ignore the fuel part of this system in my simple quest for a lil more power?

We pulled the plug on our accessories company.
No more bad craft motors.

Where did you source your 70.5 => 64.1 hub-centric spacers for the LTC wheels? Any fitment issues? Assuming you had the mating surface taped off during powder coating? Thanks!
