    Thank you for the excellent video. I had this kit installed, which I don't normally do, and it was a great help to be educated on the process. The shop set the boost pressure to just above 1500 psi and I "felt" like this wasn't enough for the 37's. I'll adjust the pressure to 2000 psi now that I understand more about how the system works. Thank you again and be safe out there.

    Love the instructions, is this the same for 3.6lt as well? I did see some other videos and I'm confused on the bracket modifications.. also on the placement of the cooler.

    Hi Amrth. I know there is some slight variation between drivetrains (3.6l, 2.0L, etc) but this is the install procedure directly from Apex. The cooler location shown in the video is correct. I hope this helps.

    Thanks! I'm not sure how much the system takes to refill if empty. We did not drain my pump reservoir during install and I think we used about a pint during initial start up, pressure dial in. After I wheeled it, I added another half of a pint.

    Hi! Do you have the factory sway bar disconnect? If so, the cooler will fit without any issues. I'm running the factory sway bar disco on mine. Let me know if you have any additional questions, glad to help.

    Getting them cooler screws started was PITA like no other. I swear the new design saves you time by not having to remove your front bumper and grill, but man getting the screws on takes about as much time. Instructions say to remove the sandwich plate and put back just the HP line. Is it ok if I leave mine on?

    Apologies for not getting back to you sooner, we've been out shooting content. Agree, those cooler screws are tough. That shouldn't be an issue leaving the sandwich plate on. Do you feel you want to reach out to Apex for verification on this?

    @@ExpeditionBuilds No worries you replied within a day that is actually pretty fast. The instruction manual says to remove the sandwich plate and install the HP line by itself, but why is there a need to trim the mounting bracket if that's the case? I think they are contradicting themselves here. I am just gonns leave it as it is.

    Is this Apex's newly designed cooler? No removal of the front bumper, grille and winch? I still have the older design and haven't gotten to installing it due to COVID at the time. Not the end of the world but anything that makes installation easier is always a plus in my book.

    What was your reasoning for going with this Apex Designs kit instead of a PSC Big Bore kit? Was it simply a matter of cost since I found the the Apex Designs kit to be about 25% of the price of the PSC Big Bore kit?

And, have you been running your Jeep at this 2000 PSI value since you had the Apex kit installed? All still good?
