Okay so what you're telling me is that this beast AND a duramax are within 15 mins from home and I didn't know about it? We're doing a forum trip to Aberfeldy on Australia Day weekend, base camp at O'tooles.

my new airlocker solenoids arrived, so did my 150psi pressure switch. im going to move my compressor to the boot. too flamin' hot under the bonnet.

Bloody transport company. . . . . my fuel pump arrived on the 28th of dec, it sat at the depot for 2 days, no call, no delivery, and they sent it back without telling me. . . .
its on its way again from WA. . . . . this time ill make a concerted effort to intercept it while its in the area since toll obviously aren't competent enough to deliver it.

So pulled bullbar back off,
iv flipped the power steering cooler, mounted it behind Intercooler. and just run flexy pipe to the pump i got from enzed
i got new brackets made up to mount cooler a few mm further forward and higher. cooler is now in its final position.
all AC lines cleared perfectly, its bang in the middle, as high as possible and a good depth forward/back.

Next step is to cut the bullbar brackets some more thisavo to get it to clear the 3in cooler pipework. then ill start chopping holes to run the pipes through the Rad support panels.
Iv already taken the PS pipes outta the way and horns etc, shouldnt be to hard.

What you reckon? cut the entire wings off or just cut holes?

Wings off i rekon
23rd March 2013, 08:25 AM
Sir Roofy

If it was mine i would cut holes,a pain in the butt,seems like you have it sorted
are you sure your far enough forward for any debris to clear or be cleared
between the rad and cooler,i know you like mud is this going to be a problem with the cooler

PS cooler now mounted behind Intercooler. and set in its final position. very close to winch. very close to air-con line on drivers side. good height. should have maximum airflow.:biggrin:
