Oil Filter Relocation

[ColoradoBoss]

Has anyone done an oil filter relocation yet? Just bought the kit yesterday but need ideas where to mount it. I have an ADD bumper on my truck and aftermarket tow hooks so in order to remove the skid plate I have to remove the tow hooks so I'm needing to move the filter to save time and frustration. I plan on doing the relocation when I replace the oil pan here shortly. TIA

GEN1, GEN2, or GEN3?
When you ask for this kind of help you have to give us enough information to work with.

Well considering he is posting in the GEN 2 Section, I'd assume gen 2.

No help as I have OE bumper and the relocation is on my list of to do's. What are you using for components? I want easier access, but it also has to be in a place that drains without mess. Which probably means I'll need to fab a custom bracket to suspend it in such a place.

Oil Udder. Also on Amazon.

I remove my filter on Gen 1 from the top.

Yes I have a 2017, that's why I picked this sub. I ordered the Perma-Cool Kit #70988. Not sure the oil udder applies in my situation unfortunately. Hopefully I'll have time to mess with it this weekend. Thanks for the input.
