Tiny LED upgrade to the rear of the Rebel last night. I love the 3 marker lights on the TRX so I decided to make my own with some bolt lights. They match my 3rd brake light too!

This cost me around $25 so the wife was coolwith another one of my “pointless truck projects.”

Put LLumar IRX 35 on the driver and passenger windows, and put The LLumar AIR 80 on rear window, sunroof, rear passenger windows, and winshield. It makes a big difference, I feel like the A/C unit doesn't have to work as hard to keep the cabin cool. The other feature I love is when I have the sunroof shade pulled back I don't feel that heat on the top of my head or arms. So far I have been impressed.
Do you notice any distortion with the Air 80 on the windshield?

I'm thinking about doing the windshield but am concerned about too much glare from my plastic Bighorn dash or distortion when looking through the film.

How about installing a Dash Matt to deal with the glare, you won't have to look at your plastic dash anymore...

I recommend a dash mat. I’ve had mine on for a year and the sun has absolutely destroyed the mad. I’ll need a new one soon but makes me think that dash won’t last long in direct light.

$50.00 for a Matt compared to Hundreds of dollars for a new dash
I am usually a function over form kind of guy but there are just some things I don't do - wheel covers, curb feelers, black exterior color, sunroofs, GM or Nissan vehicles, and dash mats to name a few.

No matter how practical they are (or if they will do exactly what I need) I can't do a dash mat. Just a personal preference.

Can I ask why such a large Bull Bar, are you plowing through woods or knocking down cows or bumping down illegal aliens running over the border ?

It's not a bull bar, it's a grille guard and it's purpose is pretty self-explanatory.

Installed some 1” Motofab rear spacers. Even though my truck has 1/2” of rake sometimes it appears nose high so I decided to try out spacer to lift the rest a bit.

Very happy with how the rake turned out! It was raining so best picture I have. Overall I gained about 1-1.25” of rear lift.

That's one looking sharp truck there i say, looks just like mine but i have the Ram boxes too . My friend is actually Ceramic coating mine this weekend.
Post a picture when it's been ceramic coated. It's something I wanted to do but it rains everyday here in Florida this time of year. Trucks to large to fit in my garage and I read that it needs 24 hours cure time.

Joined the club of HK sound system upgraders! Made a huge difference. Highly recommend it. Might be doing rear headliner speakers next. I’ll slowly work my way around the truck haha.

Nice try on the magnets HK! Tight fit but there is room!
