I used a Dremel and went at these attachment locations pretty vigorously. The part got looser as I went and then it was using a little flat screwdriver to push the part out. I did end up snapping it so he careful, but gluing it back in after painting and it's barely noticeable.
I had the same exact problem in Moab. Finished a trail and was filling up in direct sun. I have a leader on there now using this hose and then a quick connect to the Flexzilla. Seems to do the job. It has an internal mesh in the rubber and generally is stiffer and feels more robust...
I have always owned naturally aspirated engines. The 2.7 is plenty fast but it's certainly slow to start off the line. I had figured it was turbo lag, but tuning makes much more sense. Am I still happy? YOU BET! The power is most appreciated going up and down mountain passes towing my 2800...
They just released the version for the 2.7.
It was a 7 hour install that was pretty involved but if you are comfortable with wrenching then it's all easy work. Just takes some time. I've only had it for a week and the trail I did on Sunday I had no recovery opportunities. But as far as...
Thanks! Absolutely love it. Mine is cloth unlike your order. It's a great combo in my opinion. After having a vehicle with leather in the past, it's just so hot and sweaty and the cloth in my previous 4runner held up great so I'm hoping this will as well.
Great trip! I just went to Crystal Mill a month ago and the area is beautiful. You'll appreciate the off road experience much more in aired down tires. I was able to get along on that trail pretty quickly and comfortably.

2.7 Outerbanks with Sasquatch
Today it sits pretty much complete and I'm incredibly happy with the result. To date it's taken me on some great adventures in the Rocky Mountains (Colorado is my home state) and a memorable 3 days in Moab.

Don't get much mud where I wheel so don't anticipate being in that predicament, because I agree that would be a pain. Some of those east coast or south mudding videos on YouTube look horrible to me out in the rocky mountains.
Now snow yes, but that's nothing a shovel, gloves and some manual...
The cable and clip are on the top side, what you are looking at is the bottom side and the arrow is the location of the tab that you will need to push thru and unclip.
Installed! Took me about 7 hours after work yesterday. I would generally say the instructions are good and I didn't run into many hiccups. Below are my tip/observations.
I drove onto recovery boards to give a few more inches and that helped. Didn't need to go to the trouble of putting it on...
