This is correct I believe. Thankfully Overland sells the boot with mount and retainer so if you mess up the original retainer removal you’re still good.
I did the same mod today as you and couldn’t be happier. I put the knob as low as possible, and I like it like that. Did you also put it as low as possible, just above the nut?
I have the DR900X-2CH on mine and I find it useful, especially the parking mode/cloud functionality. I recommend the Blendmount for the front cam if they finally have one for the FL5.Finally installed my Blackvue DR970X dashcam earlier this week! Definitely recommend it to everyone.
I will have to agree! I have yet to setup the rear view camera, I was 80% there but didn’t have a long enough wire to snake the cable through… will wait for the blendmount!
Was the long cable that was included not long enough for the FL5? I was able to route the included cable in the FK8, from the front cam all the way along the top headliner of the driver side, to the top of the hatch glass with slack to spare.
The rear camera cable is long enough to go through the passenger side top trim, just a little tricky to snake the cables through the plastic rear hatch piece…Was the long cable that was included not long enough for the FL5?

Yea definitely a fan of the Blendmount, as the provided adhesive could fail in hot weather. Just looked on the site, think it is available... assuming the right one is the mirror setup on the FL5? Stock FL5 mirror doesn't have autodimming, but the attachment might be the same?
Yea, don't quite remember exactly how my tech did it, but it seems like it just required finesse and patience to get it through that tube.
Looks good!This is correct I believe. Thankfully Overland sells the boot with mount and retainer so if you mess up the original retainer removal you’re still good.
The boot looks so much better than the stock pleather. Alcantara quality seems great too.
I’ve been thinking of 265/40/18 for less road noise and ride comfort. Does it throw speedometer error, does it loose traction?New look on my champ, 265/40/18 with EC-7 really rides goodI ain't afraid of potholes no mo. Now at famous Johnsons in Torrance to get the right alignment for this set up (I did rigid collars too).
The tire circumference difference is 4.3%, you will need to take that into account when calculating your actual speed. The car will not throw an error or code.
