Engine looks great, J. And as usual, the rear bumper looks fantastic :)
Ive begun my saving up for my new bumper, so i will get with you in a few weeks to talk about the order, I got some new ideas lol :D
 
Dang, J Goss is looking great. I'm also saving for one of your heavy duty rear bumpers. Hopefully I can place an order soon.

Cool, I emailed with Jas today. He's wanting a 80 rear. Like I said.. If you two can get together I will drive them down to TX and go see my parents at the same time....

Ordered my new Sanden AC compressor. Once I get it I will build a mounting bracket. I'll have to find a place to make me Yota to Dodge hoses. May have to outsource this over the internet or got to Salt Lake to get these made.

The Sanden is an "inexpensive" compressor at $160 on Ebay. So, I will try to see what I can do on this.... Anyone ever use the Aeroquip or Aeroflow AC hoses and fittings? I am going to call the only hose shop around and see if they build AC hoses today, hopefully they do.... My local NAPA and CarQuest do not..

Looks great J, did you mention where you sourced those housings? Are you happy with the bulbs? Did you rework the harness as well? Gotta get some illumination myself or quit driving at night. Scary inadequate is what those stock lamps are!
 
J,
FWIW: Apart of my spressoAIR OBA project a few years ago for the 2UZFE I had Tech Choice Parts in Texas make up hoses for the Sandens I used. They did a perfect job, on time and very reasonable cost.

E, I used a Rampage housing set on my last build with some PIAA bulbs.. changed the bulbs to the Philips Diamond bulbs. Here are the ones I have now. I never had an issue seeing with the old set up with the Philips bulbs, they are a xenon halogen. Blueish/white light color..

Finished up my customers bumpers today. They are in texture and will get epoxy satin black tomorrow. I extended the bullbar on this one. Should be able to get 4-6" lights under it....
