Well, in preparation for installing a new Pioneer DMH-WT8600NEX Stereo, I have most of the dash ripped out so I can get to things easily. I've had a few things that I wanted to do to this truck for a while and just haven't gotten around to doing them. I just finished doing a LED upgrade on all the lights (minus the headlights - that's coming). If you haven't upgraded to LEDs, I highly suggest you get that checked off your list soonest. The difference it literally amazing. Anyway, I digress. I purchased the cabin air filter kit a few months ago. Since I had everything torn apart, I figured it was high time I installed it. I know, this has been done to death...but I haven't documented it yet.
And here the upper and lower glove boxes are removed for easy access.
Here's the area where the air filter kit goes.
My RAM didn't come with one, so I had to install it. You need to Dremel (if that is a verb) out the space inside the raised area.
My Dremel wouldn't reach the entire space, so I used a sharp box cutter to remove the rest.
I cleaned the rest of this up with the box cutter and then installed this air filter. Made in USA!!!!!
Air filter inserted and ready for the cover.
Cover snapped into place, it looks factory. It was a little tricky to get both sides snapped in place. The trick is to get the right side snapped first (because it's harder to get to) and then snap in the left side. Fits like a glove!
One more project off the list. Next is installing the Pioneer DMH-WT8600NEX Stereo (post soon to follow). I thought I had ordered everything, but apparently missed the actual installation kit. I'll start posting that effort starting next weekend. I had to order the install kit and Satellite radio antenna from Crutchfield. Should be in by Thursday.
