07/01/06:

Decided today to sort the oil cooler location and remove the remote mounted oil filter, as when I originally mounted it, only half of the cooler was visible through the hole in the vent, and I'm paranoid about a stone going through the oil filter where it is mounted, so it will be going back to the original location on the end of the 4x4 arm, with the oil cooler sandwich plate staying where it is.

This is the original location of the cooler and filter: (forgot to take pics with bumper fitted ) :

And this is after I finished, I basically turned the cooler the other way round and drilled some new holes for one of the brackets as it was now sitting a lot further in:

This is the fog light mount, which I cut out from the bumper:

And this is it all back together, now the whole cooler is visible, so it will get twice as much air than before:

Also removed the washer bottle:

I'm going to cut out the drivers side fog light just like the passenger side, and run some tubing from it up into the air filter area, but that's a job for another day! It's fricken cold out there!
