Rear trac bar. Cut off factory bracket from the frame and started over, welded the lower portion to the air bag bracket.

Re: 4BT Cummins 4L85 Long to Short
3 inch stainless exhaust. This is a fun trick. Use the hole saw and drill a hole in some 3/4 plywood, clamp it to where you want to drill the hole, and drill away. This technique reduces walking of the bit.

Re: 4BT Cummins 4L85 Long to Short
I went to Dakota Digital for gauges. In order to get a tach reading I got the universal diesel tach interface. This little contraption reads the teeth on the flexplate and sends a digital signal to the box, then to the gauge. I had to mount it pretty close to the teeth for it to read.

The bottom photo shows the throttle bracket I came up with as well as the fuel shut off (connected to the choke on the gauge bezel.

Dakota Digital gauges. I opted for the blue light. I highly recommend them!

Re: 4BT Cummins 4L85 Long to Short
Fan is half in and half out of the shroud. I'm no doctor but I think this is how it is supposed to be... Let me know if it should be different. BTW the shroud never really helped with cooling. I have pulled trailers with the AC on without the shroud and I have never had it above 190 degrees. I makes me feel good that one is on and finishes things up under the hood as well.

Re: 4BT Cummins 4L85 Long to Short
That's enough posts for one day. I hope you enjoy viewing this build. I have spent many hours preparing it. I have learned from a lot of you and I hope you do the same. I can't thank 72duraburb Chad Klocke for helping me out when I had a question. It was greatly appreciated. Thank You! I will post some more interior picts when I finish the sound system...
