LRA install & "while I'm here" items (3 Viewers)

I can easily see how the aux tank could push a charcoal canister over the edge. I think there is an argument for and against preemptively changing the CC depending on the owner’s risk tolerance, wrenching abilities, budget, etc.

Yeah. CC isn’t cheap. But to me I would hate myself so much if I have to drop my LRA again within a year. I’ve already been getting random P0441&P0455. I’m not saying it’s the CC, I haven’t exactly started troubling shooting or smoke test. But I’ve gotten a new (non OEM gas cap) and the purge solenoid was just replace 10k miles ago.

You may consider putting in the effort and mod I am proposing. I think that will resolve this issue pretty much as the filter and vent in the top of the wheel well is inherently a dusty and wet environment. Never seen anything major at the filler neck so it is a good place, further supported by the fact that Toyota has the OEM vent build in the filler neck in the same place.

Yes I’ve read that thread a few times. K&N filter and extended hose are already here.

Appreciate the hose connecting pieces! Would save me at least 3 trips to the hardware store lol.

Is this correct: The Dissent rear bumper needs to be removed to install a 24 gallon LRA tank? I am wondering where the interference is...I've recently received my 24 gallon and I'm hoping to avoid re-installing the Dissent rear, if it is not absolutely necessary.

I'm not 100% sure. Will hopefully be done installing both by end of month, so I'll have the answer then. I'm not sure if it's an actual clearance interference, or rather just major inconvenience. But I remember reading LRA becomes a PITA once you have bumpers. There was this giant thread on mud discussing the true cost of LRA. And basically conclusion was that a steel bumper with a swing arm for spare tire is a $5000 hidden cost. And you're kind of forced to do it at the same time. And of course the problem is people tend to do bumpers before LRA (for armor or for cool factor)

I read that a year or two ago while researching LRA, so I probably have misquoted something. But FWIW I asked this same question on FB and some people recommend installing a bumper while I'm at it.

Keep us updated if you install your 24G and run into any issues.
