I'll take some more pics tomorrow. Right now it's not mounted to anything. The rubber horn is really the best part of this thing. Keep in mind that I am not "running" just yet. I'm still a few weeks away on my restore which explains why I'm not in a big hurry. You'll notice in the picture that there is no radiator or battery installed. No need for them to be in my way just yet.

Anyway, I plan on coming in from the firewall with a simple strap of some sort that will cradle the housing. I pulled the horn from inside the cowl until it is SUPER snug and it is pretty solid. This housing is not as heavy as it looks. While I do plan to support it in some manner, the end of the horn is belled out so it will never come out of the cowl unless you make your firewall hole larger.

Like I said, I'll snap some more pics soon and we can all tweak this thing together. BTW, I tossed the old Fram Air Hog (K&N type) filter I ran back in 04 and replaced it with an OEM style Wix filter for $19.

Bracket

I think when its all said and done, I will use a bracket similar to the one used in the Buick Airbox write-up. I'll get to that in the next couple of weeks. In the meantime, be my guest to improve upon my simple design!

update

I've been running as a daily driver since July and have not made or needed any sort of bracket. I removed it in August and really had to pull on the rubber horn to get it out of the firewall. I've been very impressed with it.

did you remove it perminently? Does the jeep run any smoother, or does it idle any better since its not breathing hot air?

Sorry, I should have elaborated. I removed it to get it out of my way so I could get to the nuts on the firewall that hold the HVAC box. I put it back after I reinstalled the dash. No you don't have to do that but it is easier.
As for part 2 of your question: I have never run this TJ in any other manner that the current build so I don't know. I did this because I desired true cold air and had the Mustang cannister sitting around. Also, I did this because I increased displacement (see my signature line for engine info). I doubt this would do anything for a stock motor. I am not stock.
