I got the spin on kit fron Westfolk in the mail today and the 1st thing you notice is the box is pretty heavy. I skimmed through his installation video again and wrote down the socket sizes and torque spec he called for.
Grabbed the boy, donned coveralls and took everything to the truck. I've heard a lot of horror stories about how messy the stock flitlers were to take off so we tarped the underside of the truck. Zero drippage from the filters - no mess at all.
Total time to get box open, skim the video, gather tools and get ready - 17 minutes.
Total installation time including taking pics and teaching the boy what a torque wrench was and how to use it - 11 minutes.
Total time to build pressure now - ZERO seconds......................
Attached are some pics. I can't add anything to his directions in the video - he's covered it all. I went with the quart sized anti drainbacks, but there are tons of filters out there to choose from. I'll post more after I try different ones.
Forgot the duck pond turtle pics were on the camera - at least they're OD green!

I think he sold out. Not sure when more will be available

Looks like one of my Snap-On wrenches. The only one I have from HF is the 100-600 ft.lb. one for my lug nuts. I couldn't spend $1000+ for lug nuts, it still came calibrated within 4% and was $80.00.
