That is round air box the cone filter is inside. I've already made a cover for it out of a drain cover from home depot.lol I was more concern with debris , because this truck will never see rain. If it does it is only to get home, it is a fair weather friend.

It looks perfect there and you just answered the question I had. I was also wondering about rain water getting kicked up from your wheel. As beautiful as you pickup is looking I was thinking it wouldn't see much bad weather.

Thanks for the compliment buddy

Well I’m finally getting this thing to look like a something. I got the complete dog house install, along with the headlights and turn signals, and an engine cover (I think it’s temporary until I have time to fab something). I also started wet sanding the fenders.
