Some less exciting but necessary progress today. Ran the extended diff breathers up into the engine bay.
And scored a fresh pair of hood supports from Rock Auto. Strongarm 4551L and R.
Also tightened up the steering linkage and torqued down all the castle nuts, added new cotter pins.

New battery cable kit from @Fourrunner pretty great kit but man it was a bear trying to wrestle those bigger cables into submission. I'd be curious to see how others have routed theirs.

Completely flushed the brakes today, threw the wheels on and fired her up for the first time in months. Was almost ready to remove the jackstands and go for a test cruise when I noticed a drip 
The T union from my ABS delete is leaking. It's leaking off the front port, which corresponds with Front Left brake line. I backed it off fullly and cleaned it best I could... then tried again but still leaking. Likely I'll have to replace the union. Time to go dig around in the ABS delete thread to see what specific type of flare I need. So close!!!!

Got started on the @Bellfab bumper and winch install. Factor 55 Fairlead on there, tryna church up my badlands apex 12k. 
Had to do the control box relocate. Made some room where the overflow and washer bottles go. Not bolted down yet but I think it'll work. I modified the box a little, as it's huge and there's some unnecessary metal that I trimmed away.

Had to do some relocating around the engine bay to fit the winch controller in there...
Moved the windshield washer bottle next to the cruise control, home made some brackets. Also bypassed the diverter valve and my squirters work great now.
Swapped out the factory overflow tank for a cheapy slim design one that tucks nicely down by the radiator.
Finished up the winch wiring. Added in a shut off switch.

Looking good man! That lift looks great, solid choice on tires/wheels too
Just caught up on your build. No wonder I haven’t seen you in a while! Nice work you’ve been doing! Truck looks great. Good luck with the shake down.
Was there two weekends ago. Big Sur? North NV?
