Where to buy a Deckplate?
Hey I was wanting to do the deckplate mod, but all I can find is to buy one at a "marine store" What if there are no quote marine stores by me, where else can i get one? Thanks

RV stores usually carry them too. Or, order it from www.layline.com, www.westmarine.com, etc...

Be sure to throw an amsoil air filter in too.
Look for a deckplate write-up on my site.

I wouldn't waste the time or money on that crap. At speed yes you may get cool air but at idle and low speeds you still get hot engine compartment air. I had one it made no difference. I took it off and put a stock airbox back on. Who honestly wants to get out and close it for deep water and open it for perfomance. And it's nothing but that much more opening to suck in sand and dust when wheeling if your serious about wheeling do yourself a favor and leave it to the ttora board crowd who thinks the coolest mod is putting shock boots on the headrest poles

If M3Man02 doesn't take it, I'd be interested as well.

I drive 25 miles up a mountain (3000ft up to 6000 ft) everyday to work at the local ski area here and I notice a gain in power going up the mountain. I believe in the deckplate. And I put it on everytime I take it offroad to keep sand/mud/water out.. It's no more of a pain than locking manual hubs when going offroad. My $.02.

Whats so different in just setting your airbox lid aside vs putting a deckplate in. I bet none really. I gained more throttle response from my snorkel than I did the deckplate. As far as the hubs go I leave my hubs locked. Guess I can get away with it when having a trailer queen
