Hey all,

Just picked up the Rock Yacht Saturday! Very excited about it, and already getting questions answered on this forum (e.g. installing my own trailer brake controller). So far so good, and looking forward to keeping up around here. The black truck with black appearance may not seem ideal for Tucson sun, but I'm having a carport built soon. Cheers to new virtual friends!

Quick specs off the lot:
Quad Cab 4x4 5.7L Hemi (no eTorque)
26-gallon tank
Black Appearance
Rebel Level 2 Eqpt Grp

Wish List (my reasons for checking this forum out):
Trailer Brake Controller
33-gallon tank (I just wish they all came with that)
Front bumper camera
Who knows what else??

Also, in researching today, looks like the OEM front bumper camera integrated into the monitor as an afterthought hasn't happened yet. That's one fewer thing on my wish list already, I guess.

Yes that part maybe a ways off although I’m working with my one shop to interface one into the front grill that shows a wide angle.

That's beautiful. What do you get out of the roof spoiler? Is it purely cosmetic or does it reduce buffeting with the rear window or something like that? Love the wheels.

Thank you,I’ve added that as I add it to all of my trucks. Usually there’s black somewhere on the bottom, so I use that to tie in to that theme. I’m sure they will say it redirects the wind and you gain 500 more miles to the tank but yea about that ha ha ha.

I also have a spare set of black mirror caps that I may swap out my body colored ones for. Still looking for the “ right “ front bumper to compliment my rear ADD bumper..

I'm a fan of that rear bumper. Looks very slick. Probably also increases your towing capacity by 3-4k lbs in addition to your spoiler mpg efficiencies, right?

Ha ha ha, I love how it allows me to run a set of Ridgid spot lights in my rear bumper.

With how that section is under our headlights, it just did not look right in my eyes. If I’m spending over $2K on a bumper, I want to be excited every time that I see it. :)
