I too am a visual learner......But then again sometimes I learn the best from just jumping in head first!

Well today it seemed like I couldn't get anything done! I just kept running into one problem after another and having to make parts runs......

The only major problem to tackle & finished today was the radiator hoses. I spent probably a good hour down at Napa looking at their wall of hoses to find something I could make work. Luckily I made a pretty good sketch of what I needed so I got what I needed the first time.

For the lower hose I ended up buying these two hoses and cutting and splicing them together. This worked out pretty good.

For the upper hose I bought this one to cut and rotate.

Here is how the upper one turned out. Pretty clean for what I'm dealing with.

And here is the lower one. I also plumbed my power steering into the tranny cooler in the radiator.

I also made a support bar for the lower bolt for the hood latch.

And this is how it pretty much looks like right now. Got the coil installed, Main battery, washer fliud, radiator overflow, dual battery isolator, power steering reserve, Winch, grill, etc....

I think I'm just about ready to put the hood back on.... after I finish mounting the other battery and weeding out some of the old 22RE wires on the driver side fender.
