    Don't forget to communicate with me so I can keep your smiles smiling. I just received a donation for $30 from a Trent. I thank you if it was just a donation but remember to help me keep track and above board by talking with me so I can look like I almost know what I am doing :00008862:

    OKay Two requests for black handles and thats all I have for black. Me thinks that the black handles be more jedi approved then the brushed aluminum ones think I :00008862:

    No hate Brother!! What you are doing is all for a good cause. Let's go with black stitching!!

    Got it, sent you an e-mail and information so feel free to stay in touch and tell me what I can do for you(oh God Tripod will have a field day with that). :/

    @gpcustoms could I get one of these with the black NRG handle and Silver/Gray stitching on the boot?

    Your gonna hate me but I am a one legged man in a vendor ass kicking contest with only red or black stitching available. I wish I could offer more options but alas I am all alone ;(

    After a stop over in Malibu its back North through Yosemite and the Tahoe Forests on the hunt for some Wyoming big sky country.

    The fun part is hidden away between Forest Road and Meadowlark for switchback heaven in route to Devils Tower



    A short jump from the tower to Mount Rushmore and back down south to Colorado's Pikes Peak and the passes around San Isabel heading into the heart of Laplata County and my childhood home of Durango for some much needed family time and the promised trip to Mesa Verde National park just west of town and the loop ;-)
    Make sure and wave if you see a dirty silver SS going the other way with grass hoppers all over her!!

    Just in case there are any interest in a long twisty 90 mile run. This leg I am especially pleased with every time I take the Coronado trail.
    Just make sure you have fuel on these switch backs!

    Unfortunately in tx not fl

    Well if there is some coffee and a bite to eat I will be driving through the Houston area in mid August right along 10 on the way to Carlsbad NM :00000156:
    and the Coranado Trail.
    Making the lines was the hardest part and we have a member here that is a Hydraulic expert so its very possible you could have everything ready to rock and roll for an install party :00008862:

    Ya know it just dawned on my that Stickerdick made a perfect template for a center console pad with that cool carbon graphic.
    Lay it over some base plastic and cut out the shape, Glue on some foam and all you need is some vinyl or leather with a bit of piping. Any local upholstery shop could do one since you have a template and be as creative as you like.
    Hell I will buy one of those stickers as soon as they are available Mark!

    Oooh :D:D:D:D GP, how much can I donate to st. jude to get a turn key setup from you

    If your local or localish I will be glad to help you wrench one in place but its really a straight forward idea and simple install.
    Think happy thoughts :00000019:

    The seal for AN and or JIC fittings are called Flare Savers, most hydraulic shops will carry on the shelf. Cheap insurance for a great seal.

    Thanks Greg, What a great idea and peace of mind!

    Earl cooler with 10AN connectors about 6inches high and 14 inches wide. Ordered it for my Corvette but could not use this one so although its new its been sitting in the box for about 4 years
    Also used some Earl braided 10AN hose with some O-ring fittings I picked up from Summit Racing.
    Used two 45 degree fittings on the Adapter and both remote filter and cooler got 90 degree 10AN swivels
    The remote filler was an MMR with O-ring fittings, Uses the large HP4 and 12 filter but only a K&N HP2002 will fit if using the same location. I like it because its a high flow unit and can be safety wired.
    Adapter was a CBM adapter with O-ring 10AN fittings.
    Now I have done these many times and have always chased down little leaks for the first week but learned a trick that perhaps only I didn't know and thats to use some neat tapered seals that drop in over the male fitting and ensure a leak free installation(Thanks Greg!!).


    Talk about learning the hard way :00000156:

    Yes I installed one with remote oil filter using 10AN braided lines.
    Engine temp is way low and hugs the 180 thermostat in most conditions now. I have never seen it run this cool consistently.
    I hung mine maybe 8 inches in front of the rad on an angle using the bar below the headlights and the chin spoiler bar up front near the grill. 4 bar mount brackets and its solid and not blocking the radiator. I installed a lower scoop with SS grill to scoop air onto both the cooler and radiator for supplemental cooling.
