A hitch should be fairly cheap on amazon or etrailer. You dont need a trailer brake controller, but it is recommended for towing over 3000 lbs. All that does is activate brakes on the trailer when braking. If the trailer you are hauling doesnt have brakes, a TBC won't do anything anyhow.

Ya! It really was as easy as they said. I kept thinking of the stupid commercial " Spray, wipe and rinse" Except this was spray, rinse, and wipe lol.
Half of the 20 min time was just letting the engine brightener sit before wiping.
So.....based on this thread, I decided to order some of the s100 total cycle wash, and the engine brightener.
Here are the results on my wife's Honda Pilot.

Total time was about 20 minutes. Needless to say I'm sold.
Let's get it planned. Hollister Hills in July. How does July 24th work? (I just picked a random Saturday to get the conversation started, feel free to suggest something else)
Hopefully, I'll have my bumper and winch installed by then.
So, what are opinions on a Hollister hills trip in mid/late July? I am not sure of availability, but they do have camping. It could be overnight for those that wanted, or just a day trip if people needed to head home the same day.
I dont think the group would revolve around any 1 person's location. A peraon can look at a given event and come if it interests them, or not if it doesn't.
Once I have my bumper and winch, I plan on hitting some random service roads and scoping out some good campgrounds. Hopefully find some...
If you see my previous post, I mentioned some spots. Feel free to vote for 1, or give another option. As far as the date, I think we are looking at July from reading everyone's posts, but it is still open. Feel free to suggest a date that you are free.
I'm all for an off-road meet up, just need input from those who are interested. I have a full set of recovery gear, but still no bumper/winch. I ordered it in April, but they are custom built, so said it will take a while.
I dont think its a heater wire at all. Its a calibration line. When I pulled the covers I accidently moved the camera slightly. Shortly after, I got all sorts of warnings, and then the system shut off. I had to do a recalibration in forscan to fix. The line is how it knows how it is positioned.
If you have someone that will do it cheap, it might be the way to go. But as long as you are patient, and have a decent set of tools, you'll be ok. Others have said it was easy, but that was not my experience at all.
1. Yes I did power brake. On a side note, I do have a 4.8sec 0-60, but didn't go the full 1/4 mile, so who knows what the time could have been.
2. No CEL issues at all. I did not do any wrapping. The only loud part is what comes out of the tailpipe.
3. No, the install was not easy at all. For...
