Opposite again. That fitting for the return goes to the passenger side. Makes it easier to get the left side out of the cooler back to the reservoir. Plus it will be in the way of the trans cooler line.

Thanks. This saves me hours of redoing trying to make it work.

Took a slight break to pour the engine oil back in.
And lengthened the trans vent and secured an overflow bottle since it was possibly adding to the leakyness.

A few things, that clamp will break long before it even begins to dent the truss.
OP
The front LCA oval got wallowed out. I'm not exactly sure how since the bolts have always been torqued and the fairing surface of the Black Magic Brakes washer is flush on the inside. The oem bracket has also gotten wavey over the years bashing rocks, so I straightened it out the best I could, welded it up, ground it flat, and put a Currie miniskid on as straight as I could.
The warning in the instructions explains why it elongated the slot. You can see the previous wear on the inside of the mount. That means the ends of the JJ were just clamped onto the JJ washer oval raised area which allowed it to move back and forth. They are supposed to be test fit, checked to make sure the oval is slightly lower or flush before they are used.
OP
I think that's definitely what happened recently. But I'm not sure what lead up to that happening.
It appeared on the one side that the oem metal smeared thin and got sanded down with friction over time. The good metal is identical thickness. Maybe this side was originally thinner than the other side?
Edit - I suppose we'll never know without knowing the entire history of this Jeep.

I'd rather burn this thing than sell it so you guys can't make fun of me.
Doesn't matter, the rig isn't the reason we make fun of you.
OP
It's because of the time I wet the bed, isn't it?!
But, how did you know about that?
Your wife talks to my wife, no?

Hey there guy (practicing my Canadian for next week). As long as you don't tell anyone else it's all good.
