NICE! I just received my USB C to USB C charge cord with 90* connector’s. Apparently, from what I’ve read, the USB C outlet has a higher charging rate than the USB C to USB A one the mount comes with. I’m doing that rerouting of the cable this weekend.
I read that USB C was faster also and I’ve been using one for 8 months and it’s horrible lol it’s sooo painfully slow! And it falls out of the port way easier than the USB A. I’ll never buy a USB C cable (at least for this truck) again.

Loaded up one of my bikes for Winter storage. I don't have enough space for all of my toys so in Winter, I have to put a few of them off-site @ friend's houses who have more space than me:

Anyone knows a supplier that makes nice valve covers / coil pack covers for the 19-22 hemi 5.7 to have more custom look?

Bought $15 worth of red & green tint and decided to deck the truck out for Christmas lol. I actually love how it looks! View attachment 113829 View attachment 113828 View attachment 113827 View attachment 113830 View attachment 113832
Did you cut holes in your plastic to add those lights? I just a video on those Diode dynamic lights and was shocked how much light they put out. I thought about adding them how yours are so not I know they will definitely look good. Have an pics of the install or how you mounted them?

Had the new '22 GT Night edition for a few days. Removed the silver GT decals and replaced them with Matte black, and had the windows tinted to match factory.

Tough to see the new decal in the sunlight.

What's some feedback on the decal change?
Are those factory RAM mudflaps?

Yup! Cut the holes a little small with a dremel and then used a sanding bit on the dremel to sand down the edges until the light fit perfectly snug. Then there’s just a simple U-bracket on the back holding them tight against the grill. Those things aren’t going anywhere and it was super easy. These are Baja designs, not DD though. I’m not sure how big the DD are. These Baja’s are the absolute biggest you can fit if you want to mount them like mine.

I actually just looked them up. BD Squadron Sport is 3.07” and DD SS3 is 3.3”. So you could probably fit the SS3. However it doesn’t have a squared off bezel on the back to hold it tight to the grill like the BD does, so it might not mount the same. Also the BD is 3150 lumens while the SS3 is 2262 lumens.

Those look like the same OEM Mopar mud flaps that have been around since 2019.
Interesting. I never really paid attention to them. But my 2020 had those tiny spat/mudflaps that did nothing.
Does anyone know if the oem fender flares require a different mud flap?

Those aren't mud flaps, IMO... just some type of wheel well trim.

Yes, the trucks with fender flares have different mud flaps.

This is really cool. I may have to steal this idea next year.
Be careful with this, having red lights on the front of your truck is illegal for many states. Some also include blue lights. In RI it can be up to $1000 "impersonation of an emergency vehicle" fine. Here it is ok if parked or in a parade, but not on public streets. Every state is different. Some say amber only, some have lumen restrictions, some are good with anything other than flashing. Do your homework before driving.
I am even restricted to the total amount of light that the truck can emit from a certain distance. It's crazy. In my city I would need a permit to even use anything other than amber marker lights even if I am parked. Google "emergency vehicle restrictions, city, county/parish, state for more information than you will ever want.
