They also haven’t been bolted in to their mounts yet.
Oh the Blue tooth model... that explains it.

Got everything in today. Spending the day changing all the fluids on my tundra but if there’s any daylight left I’ll get it thrown in.

Got the throttle body bolted on and connected. That’s one more box out of the garage.

Got this put together. Anyone know of submersible heat shrink so I can connect the pump or how are y’all doing that?

Tried to put the transmission dipstick tube in and of course it needs like a half inch to clear. Annoying.

Got my sending unit finished up. Used some chemical resistant heat shrink on the fuel pump connection. Tank is now assembled. Need to order up a fuel filler neck, overflow hose, neoprene liners for tank straps, and a door to cut into the rear end for access and I’ll get that installed.

I did something I’ll probably get flack for but I did my research and am comfortable. I found some fuel line from a company called Evil Energy on Amazon. They are an import tuner. But 20’ of -8 PTFE with a selection of fittings was a $110 and -6 was $89. Came with the fitting install tool and well written instructions on how to install the fittings. Going to start plumbing this thing over the next few weeks.

I've used evil energy exhaust v bands, AN fittings, and stainless braided hose without any issue.

Dan says his evil energy v-bands were/are garbage.
Never used any of their products so I could not say.

Good to know. Everywhere I searched seemed to say good things about them. Few negatives but nothing is perfect.

What about them is bad?

I stripped one bolt in a V-band, and that was 100% my fault.
