What are the issues?
Driver side piping is being a pain in the ass, the piping wants to come up right where my top radiator hose wants to sit. Its "okay" right now. But it is riding on the radiator hose, which im not really happy about.

The passenger/turbo side, ill get some pictures in a few to show.
 
Looking forward to final thoughts on the PDI setup, using them was my plan also. I remember Lee wasn't stoked on the fitment in his write up also.

We are GAINING. So, for others that come after me, do not install the transmission while it's in a gear.

back40 ships them in 4th, I left it in 4th. Two person job to get it out of 4th and into neutral, you wont be able to install the shifter until its in neutral.

My wife gently pushed on a 3/8 extension, clutch pressed in, while I rotated the transfercase flange back and forth until the synchro let go, and it went into neutral.

Not hard by any means, but it was stressing me out not being able to get the shifter in.

My redline MT-90 came in today. So ill fill her up tomorrow.

HOLY s***, CHECK OUT THIS DIESEL FUEL FILTER PLACEMENT... sorry excited this actually worked lol.

There are two capture nuts on the fender that line up perfectly, one is a little more offset than the other but it bolted down nice and tight, you do have to cut the lower portion of the mount.

Fuel lines are ran, i just have to go get some diesel and flush the tank before i start to prime it.

taking off work all next week for wiring.
