I've attached some pics of my install. I mounted the coolant filter in an empty space behind the front Aluminess bumper. I chose this space over the frame rail as it's more protected from road debris. Also, I did not include a picture of the line splice into the reservoir bottle hose as it's the same as the pickup trucks.

As I stated above, the hardest part of this project was cutting into the heater hose, only because of an aluminum sleeve inside the hose that prevented me from cutting straight through it and the lack of space to work in. At no time did I need to disconnect or unbolt anything to make the splice. I was able to reuse some of the coolant that leaked out during the install that I was able to catch in a pan underneath, but still needed to top it off with some. So far so good, no leaks. I plan on making an emergency field repair kit with barbed fittings and extra hose just in case.
