The front cooler had to be moved forward to clear the bigger lug track. I was able to remove it from the sled by using a 90 degree air grinder to grind off the rivets from the inside and cutting the lower right coolant tube off.
It was a good thing I had to do this because after welding the lower right coolant intake closed I pressure tested it and found a pin hole from a big dent.
All fixed
I then reinstalled the cooler in the sled. You can see how far ahead I had to move it to clear the track with 2.86 pitch 8 tooth drivers.
I then did some reverse engineering on my skid. And designed a tunnel. The skid is not perfect but it is close.

Really nice work Lee. I didn't realize you had a Cat skid under that sled. With your skills, I'll bet you could also draw and build a new front end with different geometry. That would totally transform that Nytro.

Is that a straight tunnel dump off the turbo? She's gonna be loud and mean! Wear earplugs. Sled looks great BTW. I like how you kept the lines of your tunnel flowing into your bumper too. Turbo install is also really stealth looking ... like it.

Mine dumps the same and it's loud but not obnoxious.
