First off, I've got the RE V Mount IC. Great kit and I'd buy it again but after installing H&R lowering springs, my power steering loop upfront was real low to the ground. I'm sure I could have done a little bendind and so forth but I got the bright idea to replace it with a power steering cooler.
It's almost done but here are progress pics. I hope it works when I'm finished!
The power steering cooler I bought here:

Here is a before photo of my low power steering cooler loop: (i'm parked on a hill and the Radiator is out so it's usually not this low but almost.
Here are the pics of the new cooler installed. I'm having to wait on hooking up the left side. I ordered a 120 degree -6AN fitting to keep from putting a kink in the power steering line. On the right side, I just ran a straight brass fitting and extened the power steering line to match up. I really didn't need to put 2 clamps on but I had extras! I'm wasn't happy at how far down it hung until I put the radiator back in. I think it is going to work out nicely!

very clever! I had to push and pull (cursing heavily along the way) the power steering lines for a long *** time before they were flush against the back of the fans.
Do you use the underpanel or leave it out?

I left my underpanel on but had to cut the front for the radiator...the rest of it fit decently though. check out the attachment.

For now the under panel is off. I'm considering cutting it and putting it back on but I don't know yet.
I also just got my fitting in the mail so I'll take more pics tomorrow if I get time to work on it.
