Never, unless I come on hard times and have to sell the daily, or get stuck out somewhere far from home. I owned my evo for 3 years and never drove in the rain

I didn't know the exact numbers but I knew it was low. These wires will definitely be under 6ft

Well I've been too busy lately to work on the truck, but finally got back out there this evening. Got the intake manifold plugs all routed and wrapped in techflex and tesa tape.

Drivers side: coolant temp, alternator, and (4) fuel injectors

Why the TBSS/NNBS manifold? Thought you wanted something aftermarket?

The mini tuck is looking good! I did something similar and hid what I could under the intake. I wish I would've relocated the PCM to behind the dash while I was at it. Hindsight is 20/20 I guess.

Arthur, that's the stock intake manifold, not the nnbs.

Same here, I wish I could put everything in the dash and have a milspec connector on the firewall, but that's way more work than I can do right now... Hopefully when this is all done I am happy with the way it looks versus the amount of work

I do plan to get a hi-rise, just not yet. The fuel injectors should be in basically the same spot on either manifold, so the harness should work fine. The throttle body harness is not taped internally to the injectors, so I can actually pull that through the techflex if I need more slack in the future. Trying to plan ahead as much as I can since I hate doing things twice

Ha, tearing it apart is easy and exciting, and then around halfway through you realize it was a mistake and you should have just left it alone

Didn't get much done tonight, but still progress...

Got the passenger o2 harness put back into place. Still need to extend the AC plug and put it inside the techflex. I now have a fixed point between the fuse box and basically every plug, so I can wrap everything and take up the slack in certain areas

I got tired of looking at wires and the engine bay, so I decided to do the rear brakes. I took the almost new parts off my built axle and transferred them to the truck.

Trying to decide whether to crack the diff open and I stall the Yukon axles, or just wait until I actually re-gear it.

Put the drivers side coilover on, it doesn't really fit well with the ridetech arms. If the shock twists, it hits the adjustment ***** on the arm, but I'm sure it's fine

Also tossed in the escalade cluster so the interior is basically done, other than audio

I made a thread with questions about the fuel system direction, if anyone wants to give input
