Brought home a new addition to the family.

Thanks. She's been an absute sweetheart so farWhat makes a RAM even better?
A RAM with 4 paws
Congratulations on the new addition.
Boards are actually my brothers, Im personally not a huge fan of acting like shark baitNice boards
Oh I’m sorrry…. Got distracted US Open of Surfing just wrapped up here this week.
Dig the bike too
So turns out I need to swap the engine end of these hoses to 45 degree fittings, I assume I can disassemble and swap to 45s without issue? No AN hose assembly experience before this.Mounted the remote filter mount and made up the AN hoses, should be able to finish it up later this week.

I'm talking about pulling the end of the hose and installing a new end back on the same hose. Yours is clean looking for sure.AN fittings are easily swapped. My kit came with 90 degree fittings. View attachment 499926
Drove her around 1500 miles from Socal to AZ and back.
Lots of fun in between

I work on aircraft. Use a little oil to lube the end to not damage the outer braid. Should be no issue. If you see loose braid or galling of the braid that is where the oil helps. I am on that side of town if you need a little help. PM if you do.I'm talking about pulling the end of the hose and installing a new end back on the same hose. Yours is clean looking for sure.

Fit and finish on the IR parts is fantastic, having to replace the ends was my fault, not the parts. If I would have used the filter adapter that had outlets pointed down instead of sideways it would have made the lines easier to deal with, but fittings a bit harder I think. I needed the 45s to clear the radiator hose, having the straight AN ends on the filter adapter and then a swivel 45 on the hose made install super simple, no aiming of npt fittings or anything.Please give a review on that set up.

The adapter block looks better in the IR compared to the PacBrake IMO. But I liked the hydraulic hoses in the kit compared to AN hoses.Fit and finish on the IR parts is fantastic, having to replace the ends was my fault, not the parts.

If I was doing it again from fresh, I'd probably just do the Pacbrake kit, I'm happy with this but there is definitely something to be said for having a package deal.
Pressure is a bit lower at idle than I remember it being. No leaks and I do love having the bigger filter.
NICE!!! That's the way a truck should look,........leveled out.
