From what I've read on here, I'm not looking forward to the install. Seems it can be a PIA. How did you find the installation?
Not fun.

Heres what i wrote in a earlier post: Installed the Mopar Chrome deflector today. Once its installed it looks good and it sits securely on the hood. A couple points about the install. It has 6 clips that are secured to the underside of the hood. 4 of them go into the holes where the scrivets are removed from the existing weather strip with the 2 most outer ones merely pushed onto the hood edge over top of the plastic tape. When you try to push the plastic screw plugs into the holes, they are so close to the edge of the metal clip you have to push them in at an angle and they tend to want to pop out. You are screwed if you lose one because they don't provide any extra hardware. If i were them i would toss in a few extra's. Its also key to align the deflector before putting the two outer clips on. All in all I'm pleased with it and would buy it again. Just be careful when you do it yourself!

That's right. I saw your write up yesterday. And someone else on here attached a copy of the installation instructions with his notes on the install. Thanks.

I see you used to have the Pulsar. (2)Questions:

1. Why did you make the switch?
2. Which one do you like better and why?

Thank you!
The pulsar was too glitchy for me.
Plus the plastic on the pulsar was separating.
I like the pedal Commander the adjustable throttle response is great.

And how do you use it? Does it attach to a drill?

I just used a cheap circular wire brush attached to a drill and the paint came off super fast on mine. They sell them at Home Depot for rotary tools. Super quick and cheap.

Installed all new dash speakers. 2 JL Audio C2 350x's and in the center a Boss BRS 35 50w. Sound is 100% better and it took about 15 minutes to change all three. The hardest part is removing the grills! I used Metra cables and no need for polarity reversals. A very nice upgrade for a little money and a little time. Another upgrade people on this website forced me to make!!!!!!
On Crutchfield it doesn't show those as being a fit on my '19 Rebel. Does it depend on whatever factor speaker options you have?

Doesn’t matter what factory system you have because the dash openings are all the same. Sometimes Crutchfield doesn’t have the fitments perfect. Sometimes you have to play with the speaker a bit or possibly trim a small bit of the tab to get certain speakers to sit down properly. If another member is using them, you can be sure to get them to work for you.

Yes as Patsy said you will be good to go since many members here have done this upgrade with a variety of 3.5 inch speakers/brands.

Much appreciated!!! Wish I could send some of this Florida sunshine your way!!!
Some Florida sunshine would be a welcome site!
Maybe not the best picture of the bracket but I was reluctant to crawl under the truck with the wet parking lot.

Got it. Anyone have a link to the plug and play harness for them?

Swapped out the chrome mirror caps with body colored

Looks good. On a 1 to 5 wrench scale how tough a job is this? And I assume those are OEM parts you can order? Will need to look into it. I was waiting to see if my chrome mirrors grew on me (have not even had the truck a week yet....but so far, they have not!).

Took it to the auto show. Ram defiantly had the largest crowds.
