Getting it down under the truck next to the tranny really wasn't too hard, it's a little tight but there's plenty of wiggle room now that it's complete. The bad spot has to do with the transfercase and the front driveshaft. As you can see it sticks a couple inches lower than the frame rail there. If I got real creative I could have snaked it around the driveshaft and t-case above the frame rail but for what I do this should be adequate.

Oh okay I see. I was thinking next to the transmission is to tight. But lower like you got works.

For me I would probably kill that pipe right away. Would it be possible to route it on the outside of the frame rail above so the frame protects it? Like where the red is in these pics. Then just have it coming in from the wheel well. Or do you think that is to tight to do?

I thought about that too but I don't think the tires will clear the tubing at full lock..

Wait, you have a body lift right? That would certainly make it easier to snake the tubing around the driveshaft and transfercase and keep it above the frame.

You do have one too right? Without the body lift is it possible at least the way you did it?

Nope, no body lift on my truck..


Well I have good news and bad news.

It runs and drives, sounds amazing!

BUT, the wideband took a **** so no tuning=no boost

There's an AEM unit on CL right now, I'll see if I can snag it tomorrow..
