Put on a Ruiya glass screen protector off Amazon. Install was super easy, just make sure you get your screen super clean before installing. I can't tell it's even there

Mopar chrome deflector.. straightforward install. The exposed screws in the front don't bother me

Truck was scheduled Wednesday for a 3.5” RC lift install with Fuel Sledge wheels and some Ridge Grapplers. Wheels came in with the wrong finish so we got delayed. And now I changed my mind to a 6” lift...dropping it off 7/22 for the install.

Added a UWS low profile 69” box (72” will NOT fit). Really nice with the security lock handles and removable carpet.

That's nice, I have the gloss version. I like that matted finish on that one. Did the carpet come with it or was that something you added later?

Same here. Literally a bed step without any protection, and a bolt, nut and instruction sheet just laying loose in the box. And because the bed step was a little too wide, there was a gash in the box that exposed part of the bed step. Luckily, everything looked good and the pieces didn't fall out, but seriously? I don't recall seeing "Mopar" on the box anywhere, so I'm guessing these guys must have gotten them in bulk and just throw the pieces in the box and ship it.

I have to admit that, when possible, I am pretty lazy on my days off, however this truck has motivated me to make this a productive day off.

Replaced bulbs, except license plate and glovebox.

Removed 4x4 decals and replaced with Spiderman logos. Testing concepts for a future, professionally done, look.

Installed Amp Bedstep.

And applied some mirrored distressed flag decals to the shark fin. I think I underestimated how dark the fin was when I picked black gloss; and I might up to the next size and just trim.

Received my used, Ebay- bought, bed divider/extender. Definitely used, but I can bring back much of its luster, and it was relatively cheap at $255. We all know how ridiculously expensive they are new.

How did you remove the 4x4 decals? Hair dryer and razor blade?

Just put a hairdryer on it and start pulling a corner when it feels pretty warm. I realized I didn't have any goo gone, so I used some WD40 to remove the adhesive that was left, then cleaned up with some alcohol. No razor blades were used.

Busy day today. Finished swapping out all the chrome badging with matte black badges. All were OEM replacements. However, I had to Plasti Dip the 1500 Hemi Emblems on the sport hood. I was happy that the matte black plasti dip matched the rest of the trim as well as it did.

Also Plasti Dipped the stock exhaust tips. 5 coats on that. We'll see how they hold up. I've heard mixed results.

Finally, installed the Mopar Deployable Bed Step. Wasn't difficult but took some time. Also don't have a torque wrench so between my son and I, got it as tight as we possibly could. I seriously doubt it's going anywhere. I think I know someone that has a torque wrench I can borrow and then I'll come back and tighten it up.

The only thing left that's chrome are the wheels. Still haven't committed to plasti dipping them, or just replacing the rims all together as I really don't like the style of them.

Tomorrow I am having my front windows tinted.

Truck really needs a wash and exterior detail now. How long should I wait after putting all these emblems on before washing it?

Looks good.

24 hours and you’ll be good to hand wash. I wouldn’t ever take it through a touch wash though.
