bypass oil filter setup

I figured I'd keep it close to the main filter for convenience and to save money on hoses. Here's some pics.








After install I had the wife go up and down the curb in 4x4 and it was too close to the drive line for my liking, so I made a new bracket. I'm way more comfortable with this.

Looks great. I guess you had the hoses made, got your own fittings, etc.?

Thanks guys. I got the housing online, the filters from Grainger, and the hoses and fittings from the Parker store.

cool spot. But, wouldnt you want longer bolts that to run "out" the back of tranny, to "nut" it up? Seems like a lot of weight there, with those bolts, just threaded into the housing
