Things that were relocated/deleted:

Battery - JMB Performance kit, moved behind passenger side rear tire
Hydraulic fan - Replaced with JMB Performance electric fan kit
ABS Brake Module - Moved under the cab onto the left side of the frame
Cruise control - deleted
A/C - deleted
Heater - deleted
Spare battery tray - deleted
Vacuum canister under the cowl - deleted
Excess plastic crap in engine compartment - deleted
ECU - inside cab under passenger side of dash
Fuse box - inside cab under passenger side of dash
Horn - relocated to inner driver side fender
Temp sensor for ambient air - relocated to underside of cowl

Hmm what else?

Next is maybe to find a solution for the hood cable and also a different brake fluid canister that also can be a supply for the clutch. Then I can eliminate the big ugly white jug and also the small ugly white jug.

Oh ya, forgot about the nasty hood insulation. Anyone have a picture of what the bottom side of the hood looks like without insulation?

You could try using a door lock solenoid and hide the wires for the hood or use a remote door entry setup to control the solenoid as long as it is on a different Freq for the transmitter than what you have now for the door locks. Than a decent machine shop could make an aluminum reservoir for the clutch & brake master cylinders.

Or see if something like one of these might work...

Thanks for the ideas, I will look into the solenoid a little further and see if I can come up with anything.

I was just thinking about trying to convince Justin to make me a container that fits in place of the original white jug.

Pulled all the nasty hood insulation off and cleaned the bottom of the hood the other day.

Relocated the line lock tonight under the cab near where I have the ABS module, cleans up the corner quite a bit.

I ran the truck too for the first time after the wire tuck, it ran horrible. Barfing smoke like crazy and had a obvious miss. I found I had two wires crossed. Power supply to the #1 coil and the signal wire from one of the O2 sensors. Its amazing how much that can effect how it runs, it took about a hour or so to get that figured out then I refired it and it runs perfectly. So far.

Wow! Excellent job Tyler! Looks killer, hats off!:rock::rock::rock:

 

[caveman]

Dude, your truck is amazing. I can't imagine how much time you have invested. Thanks for all the pictures.

 

[lightningKILLER]

I cant believe how much cleaner that looks. Just amazing work bro! You should start charging for this event. Im sure guys would drop their trucks off tomorrow!

 

[VPRPWRD]

I am completely in awe. That truck is beautiful, if only I had the time.

 

[Slitherbeast]

It's not much of a toy if you are not playing with it!!! You have taken that statement to another level!!!! Awesome truck !! Great courage to do what you have done!

Any chance you can reload images - some of the links are dead. Great job!

 

[yellowfever#154]

I moved some pictures around in photo bucket a while back and that was a bad idea. Once I get my pc tuned up I can try and fix it. Give me a few days.
