So you ran it complete top to bottom, removing the stock top piece? Is the 10' length enough to do both sides?

Console in. Only thing left is to cut a piece of lexan for the filler plate on the back of the console. I got the console down to 20lbs even. The old console/jump seat combo was 45 lbs.
I deleted the rear cupholders and hinge, the rear AC controls (PPV has them up front) the Bose amp, the wiring harness and I trimmed some other pieces to keep weight down

Are you planning on putting the leather seats in from the z71?
Do you have pictures of the console apart and what it looks like under there?

Do the one piece dashcover, it really covers the whole thing and looks quite natural....

Installed the remote transmission filter. Mounted it to the front passenger frame rail just in front of the AC compressor. There is about a 1" hole punched in the frame in this area and I mounted it over the top half of this hole.
I just cut about 2" out of the rubber line that connects the two hard lines and connected the lines to the filter mount barbs. I was going to use 90* hose barbs, but I wouldn't have been able to screw the second one in because the first would've been in the way, so I just used the straight hose barbs that came with the kit and used 3/8" npt street 90* to get the angles I wanted.
Filter is a WIX 51269 Hydraulic filter, no drain back valve, which is used to keep oil in the passages in the block above the filter when the motor is shut off (hence why there's a big mess when we loosen the oil filters on these motors). The trans doesn't need this and most of the fluid drains back to the trans when shut off. The filter also has a 10 micron filter rating.
I plan on doing the first filter change in a few months when I do an engine oil change, but then after that about once a year, or every other engine oil change.
I filled the filter with fluid before installing, just so I'd have an idea about how much the filter holds. It took about 8oz. The fluid cooler I installed the other day holds about 12oz. When done, I pulled down the driveway and back up into the garage and left it idling to warm up a bit. I checked for leaks and the fluid level was a little low. The trans temp only got to 135* but I added fluid until it reached the bottom of the crosshatch "Full Hot" area. It took 20oz. I'll check it again after the next time I drive it and get it warmer.
EDIT: Fixed pic order

Yes and yes. Had about 18” left over.
Also, a roller worked great to even out any lumps where it grabs the door edge.

I have thought about doing this as well, I just need to figure out where to mount it since my dual remote mount oil filter housing is mounted where you have yours.

I thought about running hoses up to the drivers side spare battery tray and mounting it up there next to my catch can. I didn't because I wasn't sure how much of a mess it would make when changing the filter, and that area wouldn't leave much room for a catch pan placed under the filter when changing.
I wouldn't think there would be much fluid draining out when changing filter, only fluid in the filter and maybe a bit in the housing/mount.
