If anyone is interested I could do a complete write up as I took enough pics but this is just a small honorable mention at this point of a small mod.
As for the latest in updates; I had ordered a couple things through 12* Degrees of course.. I am still waiting on the snorkel to come available and ship so I can make sure all my clearances are correct for the next task of both its installation and that of the ARB On Board Air compressor which did come in that I got a pretty decent deal on. Still debating the orientation due to some unknowns on the snorkel kits exact routing needs and the fact that I will be routing extra lines.
I was thinking of a couple ideas regarding snorkel hose routing, additional lines ran for front and rear attachments for hose airlines. I decided that the individual wheel wells was something I just didn't feel like doing and was completely overkill after all. I also was taking into consideration the addition of mounting the air filter like element intake also higher up and farther back on the firewall, heat sources of course and as well ingressed water into the engine bay.
More than enough wiring to the battery. ONLY thing I don't care for is the fuse being so far away in the ARB harness from the battery connection. So I think in the end scheme of things I am going to rework the ARB harness and follow through with my routing of it in the basic sense at least after that change. I was going to mount the fuse holder provided in the location seen below, but again for such a high current device and the necessity of having to follow the header panel harness like the factory one. There should be enough room to do so.
I was gonna use a longer SS bolt, stainless spacer, and use it to continue to hold the harness that crosses in front of the radiator with it still. But then I want to keep the fuse within that 12-18" of the battery.
Although there is an interesting passage in the upper part of the header panel too...
Outside of that, Pretty sure the relay could be placed out here although i really hate adding relays that arent waterproofed [yes i know I can do it myself and likely will], just saying I don't like adding to a failure level further. But it should be alright by the time I am done with it. It and the OBA will be on a bracket above the assumed snorkel hose routing and reduce some splash back I'm sure.
I've done a few other things just haven't been taking the time to post pics as much. I'll do better. lol
