Inesshell bs and lazy af build

i do have extended lines, find someone or buy a snap on flare wrench. A regular one stripped one of the bolts but a snapon solved it due to its tighter tolerance. My snapon has been passed around to many locally to assist in this mod and it has not stripped or failed. Yes you bleed farthest to closest


to get to the innermost top bolt, you will want to remove the vacuum box with the two hoses. Helps to get leverage to torque the bolts while the bracket is still attached. Its much easier to remove the clips with the bracket off. Plugging the lines with a vacuum nipple helps alleviate the mess.

 

Thanks again brother, can't wait to visit your beautiful state! Be safe out there

 

ENGINAIRE Install

this is a mock install, i will post final install pics in the am....

materials:
enginaire
rubber 4 to 3 reducer

Tools:
sharp knife
8mm socket


this thing is massive, i can see why it cost so much, the fan inside is a nice design and when installing you must face the exhaust port out towards the back as that is where debris is thrown.





i bought the reducer from home depot but i ended up trimming it to look nice, more pics to come in the am. I ran out of daylight when i was finishing everything.

 

after test fitting it yesterday, i didnt like the look of it so i cut the coupler end and used that as a spacer to fill the id of the enginaire



here is the result, much cleaner and its more lower (cab height) than originally




if you are curious about this prefilter compared to others, this diagram explains it well

got to test out my new hydraulic crimp

made new terminal wires and post attachments -- old ones were pretty nasty looking

 

Got my Expos and super bumps installed today. You were right, not bad at all. I deleted my 3 degree shims ( don't think it will be an issue, since I have a Tom Woods one piece DS ), and deleted my air bags. I'll keep them just in case I want to re install later. Love the stance and ride so far. Very smooth with all the weight I have. I'm pleased

 

yeah im happy with them over my old setup, they flex a lot better on the trails. How do you like the Tom Wood, it has been on my list of to do's

 

Looks pretty sweet still even after the change. Diagram makes sense.

 

I love the Tom Woods, installed it and never looked back. Ordered it directly from the man himself over the phone. Their CS is top notch. Quality of the DS is top notch too. Fairly priced, and 15 min to install.

 

Looks awesome! Do you know if the bed rack is from a short bed or long bed? Always wondered how a short bed rack would look!!

 

Bought parts for an air chuck for the front bumper. Got tired of opening and closing the hood

 

This is a rack for the short bed but installed on a longbed

 

This was my shortbed rack on a long bed

 

installed my battery cage that has been collecting dust for some time...

mark, drill, used rivets to mount down the plate, and bolt up

 

Great build! Makes me want an ARB bumper...

 

put the cap back on for fall and re purposed the broken trasharoo

 

i dont blame you, its a versatile bumper

 

Let me borrow that rack for the winter

​

 

whens that bumper going on lol

 

Hopefully this year ​
