    great stuff! Can you show the whole front of the car so we get an idea of the full visual effect. My hood scoop always gets so dirty (white), tired of it.
    What’s the part number for the black one?

    did you install it with the wet or dry method? I tried dry and failed twice and gave up.

    nice! Mine leaked from day one. Was so tired and cost me 100$ in supplies so gave up and returned it. Would love another go one day. I hope yours is solid and leak proof! ;)

    Works great and no issues. Biggest issue with the install was getting the fan off due to limited room and needed a second pair of hands for part of the installation. Check out my build page for details of the install.

    looks good. Reminds me of how bad I need to get out there and organize mine.
    Where did you get the hook for your ramps? I’d like to do that to get mine off the floor.

    After months and months of the Ultimate Camping Mod Wiring harness laying there in its package and countless of camping trips later, I finally got around to installing it. I was a little hesitant on drilling into the quarter panel trim piece due to the price of it and I didn’t care for the black switches against the tan trim. I feel this location will be okay until I build out the platform and drawer system.

    That's kinda what I thought. And they're load range E too.
    It made quite a difference in the ride. I may do the chalk test and see if I can't get it a little lower yet.

    Wet, very wet and then parked out in the sun to dry. Soapy water works great.

    Is that to roll down the hatch window? I thought it wasn’t possible with the push start button models?

    Did you do anything to bypass that?

    Roll down and pop the hatch. The key has to be outside of the vehicle for the window switch to work, but I just put the key in the hitch to see if it would work and it did.

    Thank you it’s actually the Solar Octane Orange, cameras can’t capture the true color very well. I’ve never been into bright colors, but I’ve always liked orange and this just hit me and had to have it. Sold my grey 22 to get this one.

    Man... that's freaking lame! I was really considering doing this mod, but now I don't know how I feel about it. The whole leaving the key outside thing about it sucks. Wonder if there's something one can do to bypass it?

    ok that’s what I remembered reading about keyless entry for this mod. me too I’m not too excited about leaving the key outside. If there’s some kind of emergency, I’d have to unlock the doors manually, go to the hitch, open the lockbox, then get the keys. That’s a bummer because it’s a really cool mod
