Not today but just now getting around to posting. Wrapped the top chrome piece on grill, door handles and rear camera wrapped,, installed laserfit mats, installed bed lights, and inline window deflectors and had some fun!

Finally got a real spare tire. I would have been screwed with the OEM spare tire...especially if I was towing the trailer. Had to go with a 275/70r18 (closest I could get to my current 34" tires). Needed it before the big trek to TX!

Thanks to this forum, I knew a 33.5" tire would fit without issue. 😁👍

I also installed new floor mats. The stock Limited mats were not fun to clean and did not cover enough of the carpet.

Went with 3D MAXpider all weather mats. Perfect fit. Best of all, when your shoes are wet, they don't squeak and they aren't slippery!

The rear mat fits under the rear fold out storage box without issue.

The cable inside the window frame is making a clicking noise when the window slides open/close. Apparently the window needs to come out to repair.
The connector for the sliding window defroster keeps breaking off when I open the slider. The bottom "button" has been soldered on twice now and is currently broken off again. My dealership has a Chrysler STAR case open to see if there is a better fix. They'll probably have to replace my rear window as well.

I was considering those too but when I found the Coopers for almost $400 less, even with the $150 off the Michelins at Costco, I decided to take a chance on the Coopers. If we ever got below 40-45 degree and more than the occasional
rain I might have stayed with the Michelins.
@TheMopars
Nothing wrong at all with Coopers. Great all round tire at a great price!
It was the ride that was different for me with the Michelin’s. That and the zero hydroplaning in heavy rain on the highway. I passed about 7 vehicles in the ditch in one heavy rain. The highway was like a lake. Excellent water shedding properties in their tread design. Great wear guarantee as well.

Friendly tip or reminder -- if you are thinking about getting the Hellwig 7709 Sway Bar...better buy now. Prices are going up! Walmart.com is the only vendor who still shows the price I recorded back in February, which is $269.30.

With the way things are going, the price on Amazon of $328.90, a 22% increase, will be normalized. Inflation and capitalism are in full swing with the stimulus checks and the Fed printing press that produced them.
thank you so much! REIT's humming along just fine. Stocks up today. Every reason for optimism. I heading to Walmart.com right away! LOL

Amazon pricing can fluctuate a lot. I suspect it is based on inventory levels. You can check prices and price history for items on Amazon using the website "camelcamelcamel.com". Just copy amazon URL for item into camelcamelcamel and you can see history. you can even set price alerts if price drops back down.

Yup we’ll see what the outcome of the “inspection” is, may give them a call.

I feel like we should put together a check list of all the things to inspect pre/post- rear window replacement. ...

Installed GoRecon front headlights, just waiting for the taillights to come in
How are those Recons treating you now? I’m thinking about getting some, just can’t get past that 90 warranty.

I agree. Summit Racing was my first price reference. They are now higher than before, but not as high as Amazon's current vendor, "Advance Cycle Parts". Walmart.com was still cheaper.

The Camel site is pretty cool!

Got the idea from another member on here but added some needed storage. I like them so far, can't really give them an honest review yet.

BuiltRight molle pouches......link below.

Interesting, I see that both of your trucks driver side seat track covers are scuffed the same way mine is and presumably as easy. I thought maybe I had a bad one that scuffed easily and bought a replacement ($12) haven't installed it yet, just wanted to have it for when I was tired of looking at it.

Annoying that some of the surfaces on this truck mar so easily. I may put a piece of PPF on that

Might be tough to get PPF to stick to that given its texture. Id be interested to see if you find something that works. I try and be careful with my feet hitting those things and no matter what I end up with dirt and scratches all over them.

I'll put some 3M adhesion promoter on it then use a heat gun but yeah, it may be a challenge.

Yesterday: LED lights inside using this kit: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KRNMK8L/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I figured it is cheap enough, so if they break, I can buy something else next time. Huge improvement over the OEM halogens.

Today: Coverking ballistic seat covers front and rear. Solid cover, but I'll just be polite and say I'm disappointed in the front headrest fit and everything about the rear seat back fit/attachment. Way too many issues for something that is supposed to be "custom fit" to a truck.

Coverking is terrible. Returned mine for Ruff tuff. little more money, much much better product and service.

Take a look at wet Okole. I absolutely love them.
