Green Bob Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 There's a bit in the tech archive about this. http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=12331 When we did it with my friend's, we didn't do it so professionally. We hacksawed the pipes where they were together near the front crossmember, drilled some new mounting holes, spun the cooler round and double jubilee clipped some rubber pipe in place of the metal pipe. We replaced some of the oil that spilt out by pouring it down one of the pipes above the level of the cooler and blowing it through. Not elegant, but it worked, level was ok and no leaks after running it since the indoor show... Edit: Forgot to say, we cut the pipe a few inches below the cooler as well, replacing the missing pipe with the rubber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
