Nice! Let me know how you make out removing the connection (the newer style orange connector) for the ECSS from your drivers side valve cover. PITA! A 90 degree pick is supposed to work but I had no luck with that; plus I don’t want to break off any of the three clips. I made a tool out of some coat hanger wire that I’ll try this weekend......UPR makes a great product, BTW.

So the million dollar questions become, a) how long did this take you, b) did fender panel gaps line up where they were supposed to when you were done, c) how many tools were required? I CAN wrench (have swapped motors and re-done suspension) if I need to, I just choose not to if the $/hr doesn't make it worth my time... I was always assuming I would need a pretty good mechanic to handle this for me but you make it look like an actually pretty easy job... i can even swap my front emblem while Ive got the grille off.

Took about 4 hours start to finish with a trip for a burger somewhere along the way. No crazy tools. 7, 8, 10 and 13mm sockets and a flathead screwdriver and you could do the whole thing. I used a fantastic write up sent to me by someone else. I have a digital copy if anyone needs it...it was invaluable. Shows every screw, bolt and plug for the whole thing with pictures.

UPR catch can done....and a solution for the orange tamper proof fitting everyone fights. Take a thin flathead and break that orange bastard out of there...just destroy it...you don’t need it. Then take the short hose with the blue connectors, clip the side like in the pic here and slip the blue part out...it then slides right in where the orange one was. Done in 5 minutes.
