Green Hell...the Never Ending Project

Do you have any picture of that?

just looking for mounting idea.

I also have a oil cooler along a thermostat...don't know if i will use them for engine oil...

 

When I get done working I will snap some.

 

thank you

 

My finger is pointing at the two lines where they come out of the pump the bracket for the filter is bolted to a piece of angle welded to the rod. I also have some magnets stuck to the filter don’t know if it helps but can’t hurt.

 

Like the idea i take note off that.

Thank you very much

 

One more shot of the fittings at the block.

 

I got the same relocation plate from bulltear.

I like the idea of the tentionning on the alternator...i'm going to steel this.

 

What is the I.D. off the hoze you use?

 

1/2 inch it’s standard hydraulic line like our machines at work use 3000 psi rated.

 

Good that the I.D. i already have.

Thank you for the picture

 

SO receive part from summit yesterday. Did tare appart the front grill for the third time in two months. Hopefully it will be the last time this year.

So i went back to an oem pump, did the install yesterday.




I also find out where i'm going to put the remote thermostat for the engine oil cooler. I will leave the filter at his location but the oil will go in the oil cooler before going back to the engine. I will put the thersmostat right under the alternator but higher than the frame rail so nothing will be able to hit it. I wanted to keep the hoze as much level as i was able to making sure i will have the minimun restriction possible. The only hoze that will get higher will be the one that goes to the oil cooler

 

So cooler doesnt work the way i was thinking. Tarry told me i would loose pressure with all the fiting i put. As before i have to see thing myself to find out.

Five years trying to find a sollution to get ride of my oil filter relocation that i was never happy with it (filter is between the floor and headers/muffler so it was getting a lot of heat).

With the custom frame it was 1 narrow than oem and wasnt able to put back the oem filter.

While searching for sollution i came across a thread about changing the adapter from 13/16-16 to 3/4-16 using a mopar part. Now i can use this smaller filter with the oem set up. Filter is 2.48" height as the oem is 4.4", it will fit perfect in the frame.

Since i change filter every 6 month and i'm not doing any drag or high rpm it would not cause any hurt (as stated by tarry).

 

Time for rear bumber 2.0. When i did my rear bumber 5 years ago it was the last thing to adapt to my new frame. Since i was tired (400 hrs in 2 month) i did not do a great job in design. Bumber extended too far from the body (around 8 inch) and it used to hit the ground when i was climbing rock.

so now bumber will extend 3" from the body and i got it 1.5" higher. Also i did lower the spare tire fixing point around 5"









The yellow line will be the final design.

 

Put the tire in to see how everything fit together.

I did lower the spare mount around 5" so the top of the mount is now flush with the body.



I'm not very happy with the distance the spare has with the shakkle. I don't use to get pull by the rear very often so maybe i will need to remove the spare if the rope angle hit the spare.

i prefer to get the anchor for pulling in the center instead of the side because it make pulling other easier.

 

Let the work continu



I was about finishing welding everything that i run out of gaz for the welder. So i started cleaning everything for painting along cutting the eng of tube going trought the bumper. I also made plate for the end for a nice finish.

 

That looks great.

 

So here the final product on primer paint.

Didn't take a picture with the paint black yet.

 

Job done for the rear bumper. Love the result.

Now time to sleep some before big trail year event

 

Bumper is awesome. Those lights on the back look like backup lights not brake lights. Do they light up red?

 

They do light red, dont worry. I going to change them with back up light built-in. They will look better than those i have.
