No need for a special program, just hit the "print screen" key, open Paint, hit CTRL+V (or go to Edit, then click paste) and voila. Erase what you don't want folks to see, save as a JPEG, you're good to go.
Pop- I notice your bypass filter sticks down quite a ways, do you have any concerns over damaging it in a low ground clearance situation? How about damage from flying road debris?

Excellent question about road debris, too....
I'm not concerned about hanging too low. It doesn't.
However, I've considered making a stone shield to mount in front of it. Since I usually am not off-road, it's not a huge priority. Since I keep a spare on-board, I could just field-replace it if it were punctured and leaked.

Also, the steel housing OG provides is super heavy duty... something like 1/8" thick material with extremely heavy duty machined threads at the top where it screws into the billet filter head. I think someone would have to shoot it with a rifle at close range to penetrate that bugger, and even then they would have to be dead on center or the bullet would simply ricochet.

Yup. Actually, there are two shorter versions.
The Baldwin B164 I use is 7-1/8 inches high.
The Baldwin B50 is 5-3/8"
The BT341 is 4-3/8"
Good call!
Service intervals would be reduced, but these filters aren't real expensive, so a more frequent change wouldn't be a hard hit.

I'm wondering if the base & bracket from ITP's Fuel Tank Kit (Hutch mod) would work in this application as well...
If the filter Pop spec'd out would work on that base, then I may see if I can get that bracket from Dennis at ITP. I've got this kit, and I'm thinking that an "integral stone shield" could be welded on to it... maybe I'm overthinking or being paranoid, but I bought my 7.3 for the famed durability... I kinda like to overbuild things a bit!

I like to leave as few questions as I can.
Thanks for the reminder!

I think I'll be heading to a Parker store for some fittings by this weekend. I wish I knew of a store that carried the Baldwin stuff locally so that I could play around. Fleetpride.com wants you to login and I dont' have one for that site.
Pop - I can't find a micron rating for any of those Baldwin filters. Would you happen to have that detail?

So ITP's kit won't allow the use of the bypass filter series, which have much smaller threads, 5/8x18.
FleetPride sells the Baldwin OB1305, and they're all over the U.S.

ITP's kit uses a Baldwin fuel filter base, which is probably a model FB1311. This base uses a 1"x14 thread, and can use a lot of Baldwin water-separator filters: BF957, BF957-D, BF1212, BF1249, BF1252, BF1258, BF1259, BF1282, BF5801, BF5812, BF7557, BF7558.
So ITP's kit won't allow the use of the bypass filter series, which have much smaller threads, 5/8x18.

None in CO though, but there is one in Tucson, so maybe when I get there I'll do this mod. Or I'll just have to find another Baldwin dealer that will let me play around with their stock a little. Or a catalog!!! yeah, I remember what those are! Old-school paper version of the Internet!! Yeahhh....

Hey Marv -
question for you about the adapters, etc. you have listed for your bypass.
What does 2021-2-4S NPT/JIC FL ST mean? I'm looking on the web, and I'm guessing FL = female in your lingo? Yes?
NPT - National Pipe Thread; an industry standard
2021-2-4S... part number or can that be broken down in to something I'd understand, given that I know very little about thread sizing, etc.
thanks in advance! you are a wealth of knowledge my friend!
