Today we are going to install part number TH342 from Thule. This is part of the Professional Line. This is a Cap Rack System that gets bolted to the top of the cap of your truck whether it be a fiberglass unit as we have shown here or an aluminum unit that can be also available. The first step involved is to find a place where you can actually mount the rack itself. Generally, in the corners of the cap area is going to be your strongest area. Try not to go too far forward away from the corner, to keep it as strong as possible. Also, you have to take into account what is underneath here. On aluminum racks, you have the bars that are going across the frame of it. And also, on some fiberglass caps, such as this one, there is a layer of insulation or a thicker material underneath here. We actually had to fit between that thicker layer and the corner here, so that is why these are sitting as far in the corner as possible. And once you have the pads in place where you want them, we did tape them down to hold everything in place. And we will go ahead and drill out our holes to mount them. more

Today we are going to show you part number 10501 from Cipa. This is Cipas Custom Towing Mirror. These mirrors are custom made for each individual vehicle. In this instance, we actually use a Dodge Durango for our test fit. This mirror extension sits up on the factory mirror. It slides onto the factory mirror just about right here. And what keeps it in place is this wedge, which gets installed between the factory mirror and the extension mirror, right here. Now I will clamp this into place. And what actually tightens everything down is this knob, which goes on the back side of the mirror. It gets screwed in there and applies pressure to the back of the wedge, which in turn clamps the mirror to the factory mirror. more

Today we are going to install part number 16612 from Magnaflow performance exhaust. This is a catalytic converter on back of the exhaust system placement for the stock exhaust. Our first step is to go ahead and look over into the original exhaust system. Make sure you can get the bolts loosened to make the connections up front. Then you will want to get yourself an idea on how to take off the exhaust. What you want to do is see how the rods go into the hangers here. It looks like the all point ends on all of them are towards the front. So we want to take them off and shove them towards the axle. And since the rest of this pipe is going out back, it might be a good idea to cut this in half. So you can take this pipe off first and push it backwards. Then have room to pull the exhaust muffler here backwards off the extension pipe coming off of the catalytic converter. That way we can take pieces off a lot easier then with just wrestling with one hole piece. It is a good idea to go ahead and spray down anything rusted so that we can get it apart a little easier. more

Today we are going to install part number 32-2210 from Westin. It is the Bull bar assembly we will be installing on a 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser. To start our install we will have to install some brackets onto the frame itself and they are tucked up pretty far up in here on the brace that holds the bumper up. There are 2 existing holes so what you need to do is drop 2 bolts into the bumper bracket from the top all the way down through the bottom and it comes with these long bolts to do it with. Now to install one of 2 brackets. There is going to be one here and one is going to have an out rigger from here going out to this bracket to the assembly right here. We do not want to tighten them up yet, we just want to leave them snug so that we have some working room. Next this bracket has to get installed behind it. Then it gets bolted to this assembly here. And then this bracket gets bolted to a threaded hole that is already inside the assembly here. more

We will go ahead and show you how this installs on your spare tire. The cover secures to the spare tire by the two hooks here. You can either hook them to themselves or to the spare tire carrier as we are doing in this case here. Different carriers and different size wheels will result in different configurations. For an additional note, we used a tire size of a 20575R15, this is the tire we covered up today with part # 75347. more

This is the installation of the Edge Evolution power module for the Ford Powerstroke 7.3 liter. This will fit the 1999 through 2003, this one is being installed on the 2002 model. The first step in installing this is to put a temperature probe into the exhaust manifold. We have to drill out the hole, tap it, install the threads, and then install the probe. Now we will go ahead and install the cable onto the port now that the hole we drilled is tapped out. We run this up through the firewall and back inside so we can make our connections inside the vehicle. After running the cable up through the vehicle we will route it through the firewall. The next step is to remove the fuse panel cover, to locate the OBDII port. Next we plug the OBDII cable into the OBDII port and route the cable into place. Now we route the other end of the cable out through the door sill, take the weather stripping and pull that back to expose the port and route it up through here. To secure the pod, locate the metal brackets and the pod, note that the brackets are numbered and should be placed in the appropriate, numbered locations inside the pod. Use the permanent, double sided tape to secure the brackets inside the pod. Make sure that the numbers match up. The next step is to clean the pod mounting location. Once you have secured the velco and double checked the location, you can secure the pod with the velcro. When the mounting bracket is secured in place just plug the cable into the back of the monitor and plug the cable coming through the firewall into the port. more
