---------------------------------------------Originally posted by fusion1488i wish both pumps faced the same way like on the pass side !!---------------------------------------------We had to switch the pumps around to keep symmetry with the plumbing and also for the hardline that you will clearly see (otherwise the hardline would cross and the manifolds would be different heights) due to where the pressure and returns are on the blocks. 

We are in process of designing "reverse blocks" (an industry first) so we can have the reverse ports rather than the pumps reversed.  They will be available soon and you'll be able to run one if you'd like when they become available.

Like Derek said... No matter what somthing is backwards when you run pumps this way. If you look at my truck, it is the same way (motor forward on one, backward on the other one). No one really pays attention to that because the dumps look the same and the hardlines coming off look the same. The nice thing about doing it this way is once we are making the reverse blocks, you will be able to swap it out and not have to change any of the plumbing, wiring, hardlilne, ect. Then you can face both of them the same way. The truck will be going up and down tomorrow. Everything will be done tonight, but we have to throw a charge in the accumulators (thats why you haven't seen them in any pics yet).

still have to tie up the soft lines behind the crossmember. Keep in mind, the hydraulics will have a panel that lifts up and the rest of the bed floor will be permanently covered. That is why we hardlined only to that crossmember. Derek did all the hardline. All that is left to do is run one more line, tie up the loose lines, put the battery hold down on, throw the tires on, and fill'er with oil...

---------------------------------------------Originally posted by puponairbadass, but whats new? some day ill have you juice a ride for me--------------------------------------------- well going by the pics Jeremy posted before the most recent pics and reading what he said, it looks like all the hardlines/ lines were plumbed and the accum's were added basically finishing the juice setup. i could be wrong though.

 Are you able to make the ports go all the way through the block from side to side? Then you plug the side you don't want to use.
