I keep my keys on a carabiner on my belt loop, so the lack of proximity doesn't bother me, my last truck didn't have it so I am used to hitting the button on the fob.
Question for those who didn't get a panoramic sunroof, did you get LED interior lights too? Only non LED on my interior were the vanity mirror lights.

I was wondering about that too.

Installed my rough country 20" light bar behind the lower front grill.

I had a 2021 rebel and that lower front grill was 2 pieces sandwiched together. On this big horn back country trim, it was one piece, so I had to get the part number for "see-through" grill. Once I got the piece, I painted it to match the truck. I'm happy with it.

Almost ready for a little offroading in my truck.

Like everything about it except the mpg = 12.8. I traded in a 2014 Bighorn that was getting 15 with a lift and tires so I’m not sure why this truck is so much worse.
That 3.92 gear probably doesn't help mileage... It may also get better when it breaks in. My 2020 camaro just hit an all time high of 34.6 mpg on a road trip at 20k miles and I think it's in part because the engine is broken in now.

Do you have the “see through “ grill part number? Mine also has the solid lower grill.

Yes mpg is starting to get better. Only have 700 miles on it so I guess wait and see.

Yup...here you go:

68334531AD Lower Grille

Just a heads up. I had to go through a couple of different sites to get it. Each one I would reach out to, they asked for my Vin, then said the part doesn't fit original factory VIN. I told them in not looking for the original part, because thats not the part i wanted, but they continued, so I tried another place.

I ordered it from BAM wholesale parts. Just typed in the part number and found it. Then shipped it with no questions asked.

Part was $47.

To add. Here is a side by side comparison from old and new. New one I painted, but it came in the same black paint

What cap is that? I ordered a white backcountry and am planning on putting in a decked system and a similar cap to that one.
Leer 180, with the Thule roof bars and ventilated windoors on both sides.

Ill tell you what is annoying. When you leave your truck running and get out of the truck and it honks 3 times loudly. The needs a disable option ASAP.
That feature a federal requirement that all keyless cars have,

What a terrible feature

I don't know, what happens if you set your bag on your roof, got distracted and drove away. Without an alert you might drive 70 miles, shut the truck off and be majorly screwed.

Here is my BC where I added TRX wheels and Rebel style wheel flares. My step rails are on their way from the dealer (no cost - as they were suppose to come with the BC package - thank you Dan Cummins in KY). I have 1.5" level for the front end. I have installed them on 4 or 5 trucks over the years. Takes about 4 hours, but is hard on my back :-|

The TRX 1 license plate. Spring of 2021 I bought a TRX (at sticker). Within a week I heard of crazy prices being paid out west and overseas. I bought the TRX for $78k and put it on AutoTrader.com for $95k. Before I got the email from AutoTrader that my listing was active, I got a phone call from a broker in Texas. Paid me $96k as I agreed to take it to the local Manheim Auction center for shipment to where ever. This saved them flying a person in to do the Manheim stuff. He Zelle'd me $5k during the phone call and wired me the balance the next day. Stupid fast money for a truck I had for a week. Bought 2 more TRX's since then (a 2021 at sticker and a 2022 i ordered in July and arrived in December. The 2022 was ordered at 3% under dealer invoice) and flipped them for 12k and 20k profit. Each took less than a few days to sell. All the buying and flipping pretty much paid for my BC. I don't need a TRX. They are fantastic but are big cash, drink lots of premium fuel. higher insurance, are huge so take up too much of the garage. I have a friend that has one, so if i need a TRX fix, I go visit and we blast around the country side. The market is now flooded with the TRX so the game has changed. I was in during its prime time.

Hi can anyone with a backcountry with level 2 tell me if the truck came with passive entry or was it just keyless?

Thanks
