Rancho 9000’s w/in-cab controller

Installation date: 3/6/99 Because of time restraints (ie: school), I did the complete installation over the course of two weekends.

TurboCity’s Rock-It Tube and K&N Conversion

author’s note: After running the TurboCity kit for a while, I decided to swap it out for the K&N cone conversion kit offered by Rusty’s OffRoad. I really haven’t noticed any performance difference in the kits, other than it’s easier to check my oil now (see note about clearance issues below). Also, Rusty’s kit costs […]
