Back to non-IC set-up.

Mind getting a photo/details on how you routed the coolant hoses around your turbo? Looking for insight on routing of the one behind the power steering pump that's usually a hard line. Part number would always be appreciated if you know it.

Great to see it getting back together.

Rad - did it route under the turbo, near to the engine? Did you see need for any heat wrap?

Yes.

Almost there...

Had to manipulate, re-measure and cut every side piece on this thing. Ugh. Definitely not PnP. More like what reality is: every truck is different caveat emptor.

Looking good Onur. Hope we see you and that truck back out west in 2021. Though thinking Dusy in August if it's done. We could socially distance at 10,000 feet no problem.

Steve Pryor has a flat top mounted intercooler that fits under his hood pretty well. I would estimate it is 2 inches thick. You might contact @MountNGoat and get the thickness and see if it would work.

And the bumper fabrication is completed and installed.

Next to mess with this tire carrier kit. I’m sure it’s going to be just as fun as the bumper was to get fit...

Once the carrier is completed, everything goes to powder.

Nice duder.

Schmick. That's a killer departure angle too.

You’re too cheap to buy it.

You’re too cheap to buy it.

Your fit and alignment looks so good, even all your mounting bolts line up.. I'm going to have to do some rework on mine now.

Ironically I did not measure as much as probably should have.

I did cut and grind A LOT... literally almost all day.

How are you going to tow your raft? (Up to Vermont to come visit)

That’s a different truck Rob!

New center console installed. Got these from our good friends down under. @Locked79 turned me onto them. Dropped them an email, they asked me some questions, I sent them some pictures.... and some time later an epic center console arrived. After removing the seats, it was a 5 minute install. The easiest thing I've done on my 70 for overall comfort. Lots of room to store things, 2 cupholders, place to stash guns, drugs, and booze. Highly recommend.

FAAWWKK! That's Sweet !

Yeah, that puts my little one to shame. I'm going to check out their site, but any reason it wouldn't fit in a LHD truck?

Thanks,
Patrick

Well, they are in Oz, and the folks down under drive on the RH side (IE: handbrake handle cut-out is for the RH side of the console).

I betcha they’d make ya one for a LHD truck.

Drop them a line.
