    Did you guys snap photos of the installed OCC locations? I am still dumping my OCC every month or so therefore I left it sitting next to the inverter coolant reservoir, but eventually I want to install somewhere in a better way. My first choice is at the area of behind the headlight with the 3D printed mount, just like Danlatu and @NutzAboutBolts did.

    @Grit went low in the exact place I have mine :).

    Only he has a corn can to hold his upgraded catch cans compared to the green bean can that holds my Ruein style catch can;).

    @tallassazn went to the drivers headlight area without a mount, where @wvs2003 has a 3D printed holder that wasn’t all together:cool:.

    I’m sure it’ll be reprinted soon and might be willing to share if you talk nice enough :whistle:.

    Maybe we’ll see you next time as @Grit was looking for you(y).

    LOL yeah, I wanted to checkout @Grit LED headlight as others have comments of the LEDs have strong glare and no throw.

    Did @tallassazn fixed the TPMS issues from last time?

    Man I missed the fun gathering, hope to be there next time!!!(y)

    Mind like a steel trap;).

    I forgot about @tallassazn ’s TPMS light, but it’s still on:cool:.

    We had a good time and hope to see you next round (y).

    Yall please feel to use these photos for your reference, to share on your own posts, or to save for good ol' memories :) Enjoy!

    I'll also ask my family relative to see if we can get some more of that 3D printed bracket for the OCC. The brackets that were originally printed were too tight and snapped apart, so we may need to revise the inner diameter a little bit. Thank you again to @danlatu for sharing the 3D file for the OCC bracket.

    From @tallassazn prius work: OCC up high behind driver's light
    • taking apart, overall view 20190217_112438.jpg

    • OCC: looking good with the purple OCC!! 20190217_133740.jpg

    Thanks again to @Raytheeagle for hosting the meet up and helping with the big EGR maintenance and OCC. I'm pretty sure if I tried to do this myself last weekend, the car would still be apart in the garage.

    The only time we stray away from this thread is to discuss addresses, which we don’t list for public knowledge ;).

    But we post the list in advance for signing up(y).

    Big thanks to @wvs2003 & @The Critic for coming out to help dissemble my Prius and @tallassazn for cleaning EGRs & getting those back screws on the EGR. It means a lot to me because I plan to drive my Prius into the ground, not gonna sell it in other words so all the work put into to it will be for keeps. And special thanks for @Raytheeagle for help wrenching everything back together on both Prius, putting us in his busy schedule.
