Going back to Teds shop on Monday to install the trans, transfercase and shafts

Looks good Simon! I see you shortened the pipe on your Y bridge after all? Nice boots for your IC tubes....did you put a new innercooler in?
:poke: Its def. a race truck now, the battery is where your 5th wheel hitch should go, fuel filler tube right in the way too for any good work truck----:p:hug:

:D Thanks Jason,Remeber I allready have a work truck

I didnt shorten the Y bridge pipe though, it just got surrounded by wire harnesses and I raised the turbo....It took me a while today to cut all the intercooler pipes to make them fit

You can probably add a few more of us to that list:eek:, but then again, the bad luck group probably provides the best support:)
