That whole setup looks damn sweet.
The sway bar is part of the sway bar setup (front & rear) that Hotchkis offers for lifted trucks.

It runs $649, but I lucked out and got it on sale for $520...

..and thank you sir.

Damn that's a little hefty! But I'm sure it does great

Default Remote Oil Filter - Relocation

So this project has been on my list for a while.

The motivation came from this gent @Galaxy on another F150 Forum

He has a parts list on there that I roughly went by. I'm not a big fan of colors (he used the Earls blue and red) so I scouted out all my various AN fittings from a place called Kartek

It's admittedly a pricey endeavor, that means don't ask , but I wanted to do this because I can't stand where the original location of the oil filter sits. Anyways, here it is:

Dare I call this oil filter ****? That looks sick as **** man! Is that a kit you can buy from somewhere? I hate the factory location too.

I don't see an issue with the factory location, it's just fine for me but then again, it's easy to get go off the side of the block for 2wds

Hahahahhaaha that's funny .

It's definitely a grouping of parts I put together, not a kit, but I do believe kits are available.

Default SVE Radiator-Lots of pics

Installed a dual-core SVE Radiator from LMR and replaced upper and lower radiator hoses. I had to cut the hoses off where they were attached to the engine. I brought over the transmission line plugs over from the old radiator. The upper radiator hose is a Mishimoto with Mishimoto Stainless Steel T-Bolt Clamps and the lower is a Motorcraft with regular style clamps. I did take out the coolant reservoir bottle & air intake which was easy enough and unattached the fan shroud, but I did not release the fan/fan clutch to remove it entirely. Oh and I initially installed the upper radiator hose backwards-->What an idiot !


New SVE Aluminum Radiator.

Man you have to have one of the nicest builds going.

Why is the top right side of the radiator plugged?

Thank you JP

By plugged are you referring to the third picture with the rubber bands and wrap over the upper radiator inlet? If so, it came that way in shipping but was removed before install.

You are very welcome. I was referring to the aluminum pole just above the inlet. I haven't seen my truck in three weeks so I may be asking a dumb question due to lack of comparison.
