What did you do to your FX / QX70 today?

Started installing the intake and forgot I needed bolts for the MAF adapter, the OEM bolts thread into my JWT filter. So I need nuts and bolts. In the meantime, I replaced the OEM accordian hoses with silicone couplers - used a hump hose at the throttle body. And of course my inner ricer said I had to use T-bolt clamps for all this...

This didn't happen today, but I replaced my rear tires on Saturday with 275/40/20 Nexen N'fera SU1's. Didn't flip my old tires in time so the rear camber ate up the insides; it took 18K so I can't complain. New tires run wider than the old ones so less stretch which I like.

That is soooo close to the well tho..., any rubs? Great work on the intake :good:
 
It only rubs on big dips. The top of the tire is even with the arch - coilovers on maximum drop. Hard to tell in that pic, but the rim sticks out from the body slightly and it's camber that keeps the tire from poking out.

Updated pics of the intake. Unfortunately I was unable locate the filter where I wanted as the piping I had didn't fit. Need to play around with it some more and figure out what bends I need. The filter is so big that it only fits in one position down in the bumper. For now, this is how it's mounted.
