Wiring harness came in. It's from a 3rd-party manufacturer in South Africa. Comments on the installation below. Biggest pain was drilling the hole. Metal is thin there so the bit wants to grab and deform the surface. 2nd biggest pain was that the t-cable was soooo long. Ended up rolling it up...

Well, most of us old farts never saw rust on an engine before because they were always covered with grease from all the leaky valve covers:)

Went comet chasing.

Yeah, mine is on the way now. Should be here Tuesday.

Still waiting for my harness but the instructions show it plugging into the trailer connector.

Carry more stuff of course! I want to do the same thing.

From other comments I've seen, that "snorkel" is not intended for water. It is intended to reduce the amount of dust reaching the air filter.

OR should have composite ones (they call them engine covers, not skid plates).

Or at least let us know your travel plans so that we can stay off the roads while you are nearby. 😁

I don't know about the stock ones but the ones from NYTOP are 74 lbs. each. The other aftermarket ones are similar (except for one maker that has aluminum ones).

Never liked to get close to empty so it's always been "quarter tank? look for gas" for me. Depending on the computer to tell you when to get gas seems like a good way to get in some unexpected hiking.

Hi, just got my SmartCap EVO Sport on and thought I'd start a thread on accessories. What's out there and what's on your wish list? Mine: Roof rack Removable screen for wing window opening or fan for sliding window on Sport. And this, of course:

ft-lb x 12 = in-lb. Looks like your wrench is minimum 3.7 ft-lb so you should be ok if that's where you set it. I didn't see any available near me that went that low in ft-lb so I did an in-lb wrench.

Definitely takes 2 people. And you do want the correct torque wrench so that you don't over-tighten everything. Took about 3 hours to assemble.

On and bolted down. Unfortunately, they were out of wiring harnesses so I couldn't hook up the brake light yet.

That's 44 in-lb.

Got mine assembled. Hope to mount it today.

I put mine together yesterday. Picked up a 20-200 inch-pound torque wrench from O'Reily's Auto Parts because my existing in-lb wrench didn't go low enough. (Am now the proud owner of 5 torque wrenches). Today's tasks are to get the gasket on and mount it on the truck. Unfortunately, they were...

There's a bar meter under the DTE number. On mine it has been fairly accurate (fill up at quarter-tank is ~13.5 gal). I just treat the DTE as entertainment. Wouldn't mind if there were a way to hide it. Maybe a piece of black tape?😁 I do miss the dial gauge on my 2013. The graduations were 1...

Odd, my OR has 17-inch wheels (265/70 R17 tires). You can play around with sizes here: https://tiresize.com/calculator/
