    Powder coated my tow hooks!

    I am doing the same to the Tow Hooks, the 2 shops that returned my call quoted a shop minimum cost of $125 & $165 respectively. So that will be the cost. I am also adding MGP red caliper covers. I will post when I have them done.

    quick update. Bought a 2021 Limit Black Edition, in Graphite Gray, with lots of packages. Got a great deal from Mark Dodge, dealing with Jason Hedgcock. Flew down to Lake Charles for $250 and drove it back to DFW.

    After 72 hours, the look on your face when

    your 2021 limited, which has more technology than the Space Shuttle, but doesn’t turn up the volume or change track from the steering wheel...... and then you find the 4 buttons on the backside of the wheel. Doh!
