Thank you! Will be sending more pics. Looking forward to taking her home.

What kind of hood deflector is that on your truck?

Drove around trying not to look, at my crazy expensive screen that the GPS is malfunctioning on.

It is AVS you can get from Autozone. Install pretty easy.

Had my 2019 Rebel for about a month and a half now and about 650 miles. Mods so far - black front grille RAM letters, black out skid plates, red painted brake calipers, Line-X premium spray bed liner, ExTang Encore Tonno cover, 35% Ceramic window tint (front sides only), K&N drop in air filter, replaced all interior, third brake light and cargo light bulbs with LED's, Mopar rear bed step, front and rear WeatherTech mud flaps, Go Rhino RB20 Running Boards with truck bed liner coating, Tuffy Security locking console insert box, and a few minor things here and there... Is there an end to all this madness?????

Thanks. I looked at other running boards and went with these with the bed liner coating. I'm glad I did. They are fairly heavy and solid. They were back-ordered so it took about a month before I got them after ordering. Easy install (just crawled under and installed...only need two size sockets for the nuts and no torque specs...just tighten them...also it didn't come with installation instructions but you can down load them online from their web site). The only PITA was getting the nuts to bite the stock bolts already on the truck because they had so much epoxy on the threads (my guess is probably to keep them from rusting). Otherwise, pretty straight-forward install.

Whered you get that bike rack?

It's a Thule T2 Pro XT and I bought it at REI when they had a 20% off sale for members. Best bike rack I've ever used and the operation is super easy. I can have a bike loaded and be back in the truck in 30 secs.

Was it difficult perhaps because of the paint on the studs? I've seen install videos where they say to use a solvent and wire brush (or equivalent) to get the paint off. I was advised to use a die (8 mm - 1.25) and just rachet that on and then off and it will do the job with less mess. I have ordered and received that and that's what I'll be trying when I get my RB20's. I thought they did have torque specs as well but you're right, it doesn't say anything on the install instructions.

How did you paint your calipers?

G2 Caliper paint. All 4 wheels off, vehicle on jack stands or lift, and paint. No need to take calipers off. Fairly easy. It's just time consuming, especially the prepping. G2 Paint cheapest at Tire Rack for $43. Once the paint and activator are mixed, you have about a good 3-4 hours before they start to harden. I painted calipers on all my other vehicles and no issues after 5-6+ years (no chipping, etc).

Ordered a Peragon Folding Tonneau kit. They're running a $100 off if you buy the tonneau with their Platinum kit so it's like getting the add ons for free + 3 year warranty.

Looks fantastic. I may have to do this.
