Hi Allyoucaneatmeat. Thanks for watching. We appreciate it. Well, after living in the city for 4 years and living in a subdivision for 21 years, it was a goal of mine to find more privacy and that landed me here. Trade off is that it takes me 45 minutes to an hour to drive to work so it's not all sunshine and roses. It comes down to what matters the most. Cheers!

Hey hillbilly, thanks for watching! We wish for you all of the luck! As long as you didn't lower your Forester, you should have no problems at all accessing the necessary bolts and plugs to swap out your cat with it up on ramps. Just watch out that you don't hit your head like Art does. ;) We did find the OEM cat to fit the best, but you could probably hammer in an aftermarket if you run into any minor fitment issues. I'm certainly grateful that I don't need to replace a catalytic converter today with prices being what they are because I'd definitely be under there with a rubber mallet banging an aftermarket into place! Good luck, take care, and stay safe!!

@SpiritedWrenchers yeah I'm definitely going aftermarket. My car has 217,000+ miles on it. So she's more than due I'm sure. Not lowered but has the typical N.Y.S rust. So I don't expect it'll be easy by any means haha. Thanks

Hi Daniel, thanks for watching and noting this! Yes, our 2022 Santa Fe is equipped with a smart cruise control that utilizes radar. The radar sensor is actually behind the front bumper cover, where the license plate would reside. I can confirm that the Fitcamx does not interfere with the operation of the rain sensing wipers, auto-dim rearview mirror, smart cruise control, or any other feature that they've packed into our Calligraphy trim. Hope this helps; take care and stay safe!

Hi Tesa. Thank you so much for watching and sharing the kind words. We greatly appreciate it and thankful our video was able to help you solve the mystery so you could get your project done. Cheers!

Hi Douglas, thanks for watching and trusting us enough to ask. We do know there was a complete redesign in 2013, including exterior and suspension, but we're uncertain of how much of the internal components shifted between 2012 and 2013. I'd suggest posting this question up in either a Facebook group or Forum to find out for sure. Hope this helps; take care and stay safe!

Thanks for watching and sharing your blend; it sounds absolutely delicious! Cheers and stay safe!

@robertmiller7250 Hi Robert. Thanks for watching. They're custom made by a guy in Missouri.

Hi Pablo; thanks for watching!!! What would you be interested in seeing in a Part 2 video? We've now ticked over 50k miles and still loving it. More features, or just the top features that we can't live without 50k miles later?

HI Douglas. Thanks for watching. I believe it did I chose not to hook it up until we tested the head unit functionality out first. I wanted to avoid running wires to only pull them back out if we didn't keep the HU. Hope that helps.

LOL. Thanks for watching and the laugh. We appreciate the kind words and you sharing the journey with us.

Hi Sheldon. Thanks for watching and sharing. You're spot on. Not a hard job, but the time consumption is a big one. If you don't have patience, it can be pure hell. LOL. Glad to hear you had just a slightly easier job on your van. Because it's all wiring and nuts and bolts, the manual makes it easier on telling you where to look but it's not impossible without it as you discovered. Just takes more time. We're hoping this video will help all of those that don't have the manual as well or run into snags. Cheers!

Thanks for following along with this project as well. We really appreciate it and yes, the timing for the heat is critical now.

Hi Jackhammer. Thanks for watching and sharing the kind words. We really appreciate it. That's awesome about your 69. What else are you doing to it? So for the crimpers, I went in on the hype and bought the American Autowire crimpers. I personally wasn't a fan while others sware by them. I ended up using crimpers that a channel sponsor provided. They work fine for me. I still have the Autowire crimpers. If you're interested in them for a serious discount, send me an email. I have no use for them now. Cheers!

Thanks John for watching and sharing the kind words. We really appreciate it. It's a Dobinson's 4x4 snorkle. We love it and it's done great on the water crossings we've experienced. Cheers!

LOL. Yeah, 6ft would be pushing it on these bikes IMO. I'm 5' 6" and 160lbs. Any bigger and I would be very cautious on what terrain you drive on as I'm unsure how the frame will hold up. Truth be told, when I launch it on small jumps, I worry about the frame under my own weight. LOL. Hope that helps and thanks for watching.

@ thanks

@@Gunnerg-c7o our pleasure!

@johnversluis3084 thanks for watching and sharing. If I can get 19 years out ours, for the money, I'd be happy with that. Especially with the type of work we do. By that time, I'll be too old to work in the shop anyways. Lol. Cheers!

Hi ThaHulk. Thanks for watching and sharing the kind words. We appreciate that. Hopeful the video helps you knock it out and save some money. Come back and let us know how it went. Cheers!

@ just finished the job and it’s as good as new! Thanks again for all the help!

@ThaHulk outstanding. Excellent job!!!!

Hi Robins2246. Thank you for watching and sharing the kind words. We greatly appreciate it.

Hi Mr. Jin; thanks for watching and suggesting this! You've reminded me that its a service that should be done periodically, and we happen to have a can of MAF cleaner out in the shop! Keep posted, take care and stay safe!

@SpiritedWrenchers can you clean something else as well? Like throttle body or other sensors that needed to clean periodically? Thank you!

@Z33Garage thanks for watching and sharing. Several things could cause a fuse to blow, and I would trace all the wiring to ensure there are no cuts anywhere. We've had zero issues with ours. Hope you're able to figure out the cause.

Thanks for watching and trusting us to ask! This isn't something that we ever encountered in my Forester, but, thinking back on the connection points I'd double check that the stretch belt on the AC compressor pulley is correct. Those belts are not intended to be reused. Beyond that, I wouldn't know where to look. Hope this helps; take care and stay safe!

Yes, I know you have experienced that very same feeling. LOL. It's glorious. Hahahah. Thanks for watching and following along on the journey!

Thanks for watching and sharing. We appreciate it. It comes ready to go with oil. No problems with level on ours when received. One the Puma site they list regular compressor oil and theirs is part # 074-SAE-30. There are plenty of options on Amazon for the SAE-30. Hope that helps. Come back and let us know what your thoughts are on it once you have the compressor set up. We're still loving ours in the shop. Cheers!

@@SpiritedWrenchersabsolutely! How quickly did it arrive? I see people say it arrives faster than expected

@@lucassteinhoff4973 I can't quite remember but I did get the call in a much shorter time frame than I had expected.

Thank you for following along and sharing the kind words. We really appreciate it!

Thank you for following along on the build and journey. We really appreciate it and love how she's coming along as well.

Thank you buddy for watching and following along on the build. We greatly appreciate it!

LOL. Had to with the "shock collar". Thanks for watching and sharing the kind words. We really appreciate it!

Hi William. Thank you for watching and asking. We really appreciate it. I'm not sure they are available at a local parts store. You can pick them up on Amazon though if you shop there or directly from the dealer. They're fairly cheap. Hope that helps.

Thank you so much for watching and sharing the kind words as well as your own journey. Love hearing that. What truck are you working on? What motivated you to do a full rewire?

Thanks for watching and sharing. We appreciate it. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with a heavy duty one. I bought a new carrier to replace our old one with before deciding to go the 1 piece route. Changing our cross member out really helped ensure we had a large enough hole for the new 1 piece to go through cleanly. I kept the carrier that I bought if you're interested in it. If so, shoot us an email and I'll reply with a pic of it.

Thanks Matt for watching and sharing. We really appreciate and confident that you can tackle the project successfully. Come back and let us know how it all turned out. Cheers!

@@HildaMartinez-y8w thank you for watching and sharing the kind words. We greatly appreciate it! Cheers!

@@alexandriaalejandres2787 Thanks for watching and sharing.

Hi Kevin. Thanks for watching. We appreciate it. I personally wouldn't put one next to the oem backup camera in that way as they aren't intended to go there.

Where they intended to go/install?

LOL. So true! Thank you for watching and sharing the kind words. We really appreciate it!

@ Yes sir, have a great weekend guys!

Thank you brother for watching and sharing the kind words. We appreciate you following along on this crazy ride.

@EliseHeard That is fantastic to hear. Great job on doing it yourself and saving all that money. We're thankful we could help you out. Stay safe out there!

Woo Hoo! That's awesome to hear Krista. Congratulations on doing it yourself and we're very thankful we could help you out. Stay safe out there!

Congratulations on being able to do it for less. I knew the pump I purchased worked and had a warranty so I was not concerned, but we appreciate you sharing your story.

Hehe just read someone elses reply bout mobil 1. hehe

@marcstavale8467 thanks for watching and sharing. Cheers.

Hi Dave. Thanks for watching and asking we appreciate it. We would typically jump at the chance to make a video to help our viewers out but this one would be so quick, it would take 10x the amount of time to edit it than to do the job. LOL. It's a lot simpler than you think. Send us an email to the gmail in the description. Dana will send you a quick 10-15 second video showing you how to do it. Cheers

Hi Eric, thanks for watching and asking! We followed the instructions provided. I'm sure they could slide forward or backward a bit, but, we wouldn't recommend it as we can't say for certain if that would cause any damage to the rails. Hope this helps; take care and stay safe!

Thank you for watching and sharing. We hope it turns out well for you. Stay safe out there!

Hi Luis. Thank you very much for watching, sharing the kind words and asking. We really appreciate it. We strongly recommend asking your local dealer. That's what we did. We talked with the service department to see what they recommend and compared it to our prior services with them to ensure it matched and it did. Hope that helps. Stay safe out there.

LMAO. Thanks for watching and sharing in the humor with us. We appreciate it!

Hi Justatool. Thanks for watching and sharing. Crazy that it's gone bad in just 60k miles. Glad you're taking care of it and we hope this video helps you get it done so there is no more shakes. Stay safe out there!

Thank you for watching and following along on this fun yet lengthy journey. We appreciate it!
