Received the K&N filter Made a simple little support mount out of some scrap stainless. Not welded here but it will support the filter Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

Steering coolers and mounts... Trophy Trucks run ONE of these coolers so naturally the 715 needed two. Probably gross overkill Tucked up safely above the crossmember but they’ll still get plenty of airflow Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

Little quick fitting before work today... Drilled for 5/16-18 nutserts Welded in. I love these friggin’ things. Makes assembling so easy Bolted down.... And installed A comfortable amount of room, I’m very pleased with the fit of the CJ radiator overall. There is plenty of room...

This showed up today from Entropy Radiator... This is for a CJ, supposed to be good to 700HP, we’ll see how it fits in the 715 Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

Also made mounts for the upper heat/AC vents. I wanted these in the dash but there was really no room to make it happen 16 gauge mount cut out from plate... Temporarily attached, in case things need to move side to side later on Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

Laying the dash out for the ARB switches and SwitchPro Got the OBDII mounted on some threaded inserts also Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

Last of the main cage parts, upper crossbars.... Ethan on the TIG, it's fun to watch and not actually have to do it :) Still needs seat mounts, hip guards, grab handles, dash bar, etc. but this is the "core" of the cage

More inserts and mounts, now on the front radiator core support... Canton radiator overflow tank along with a Grote back-up alarm. The alarm will be used for an audible overheat warning, triggered via engine coolant switch. Loud and annoying when it activates but you also CAN’T miss it if...

Slowly trying to piece together where all the accessories are going to mount up in a way that makes sense.... Engine bay fuse panel. Using welded in threaded inserts for absolutely everything as I don’t want to play with back-up wrenches during assembly/disassembly IPR Research coolant...

Mount for the PSC reservoir and filter... Tucks in pretty well, right above where the pump will be

Main parts are in place, almost all 1.75” at this point Fairly low profile but with the window up it’s not in the way of the view Top view. The cross bars are yet to be completed here Played around with a few of the tubing copes, pulled the top of the cage inward just a bit as it was...

Well I guess it needs a cage...:sigh: Time to get a bit bendy. Here it is drawn out on CAD 1.75" and 1.5" DOM tube. Both .120" wall Here we go... "A" pillars Few more bends... Tacked in place...

Time to massage the fenders a bit to clear the coilovers... The idea is to create the necessary clearances but keep it tight so it doesn’t appear completely hacked and mangled. Passenger side is DUN

Crossover... Welded flange It’s all welded and in place, good grief. 2 days of solid TIG Stupid WA weather, it’s just pouring here relentlessly. Dogs have to be outside the shop while I’m doing all the TIG work. See the excitement

Fully welded passenger downpipe and crossover. Using stainless clamps, fairly slick and easy disassembly This is the coped crossover bit. The passenger side will single up into the driver side

Slowly plugging away on the exhaust. It's HARD to shoehorn a full 3" system into something like this AND keep it clean and fully above the frame rails Both crossover tabs welded in. Yes they are hard mounted. There will be flex joints on either end. I had no choice :rolleyes2: All...

And the dastardly Jerry can mount. Time to correct some of the nonsense. Silicone bronze in all the small holes... Super sweet custom jagged piece that perfectly matches the torched out nonsense All done. DA sanded flat

Fender gusset. Of the 4, this was the only one that didn't look like it had bounced off a tree or two. Sheet metal isn't going to cut it, needs to get beefed up... Replaced with 3/16" cold roll plate Another gusset on the rear of the fender
