Tint done. 20% black ceramic on sides and back. I love it.

Couldn't wait any longer, had to get myself and the family out of the house. Got out as soon as we were able to. Good weekend trip up in the sierras.

For anyone wondering how the truck did. With a trailer full of cargo, topped off of water, 24gal of extra water (kept over rear axle in rv) it did great. I couldn't stress it enough to respect the truck and its limits, drive the posted speed and take your time going up any steep grade.

Mine is on order. Let us know what you think about the middle setting. That’s what I’m planning on using.

Well this is my opinion. I had it set in the middle position based on what I thought most were doing. I got the truck out on Saturday and drove about 60 miles mixed with interstate and then some windy two lanes roads with a couple of almost 90 degree turns. The ride was noticeably different. A little stiffer over bumps but the turns had less sway. I don't drive the truck much so I was going to leave it alone, but decided I would drive it to church and lunch on Sunday. Switched it to the softest setting that morning. The softer ride was back but not enough to make up the difference in the sway of the back end. I wasn't on a windy road so I just rocked the truck side to side. I personally would rather have just a little harsher ride than the sway. Setting has been switched back to the middle setting.

Looks like a good time for sure! Question though I count 6 people in the photo plus you which is 7. How did you get everyone up there? Did you strap one of kiddos to the roof

Thanks. My sway bar is on back order. Probably be here by the end of the month. I’m going with the middle setting at least at first. I suspect that where’s I’ll leave it based and your’s and other’s experience.

Lol no, we brought an SUV with us, helped out a bit when it came to ice chest and whatnot

It's really too easy to move back and forth anyway.

Factory style graphics on my Rebel. Actually did this on Saturday. Ordered the decals from Etsy. Haven’t been able to find anybody local willing to install them. So I decided to do it myself. It came out pretty good. Slightly off center but no one would ever notice. Less than an eighth of an inch. Haven’t done the bedside decals yet. Got a lead on somebody who might do it for me, if not I’ll be doing it myself this weekend.

crappy pics from inside the garage.

She's beautiful. I'm waiting on her twin! My gets kicked out of the toy box next month. Seeing your photos reminds me I chose the right truck. Thanks for the preamble in spurring anticipation.

Gave it a ***** bath. Diluted some technicians choice ceramic detail spray 1:1 and then wiped it down before I take it to the muffler shop in the morning. Ran it through a touchless car wash beforehand but that was just a waste of time, gas, and money. Barely cleaned it.

Are those low profile in channel on your windows and where you get them?

AVS Low Profile. Picked them up at a local shop.

Got my exhaust welded in today. It sounds freakin awesome. I've replayed the clip I sent my wife twenty times I bet lol. I'll get a proper cold start video later. It's exactly what I wanted. Not too loud but you can definitely tell it's there. Went with the Borla 40353. Total for muffler plus install was $160.

Looking forward to the video to hear it. I’ve been looking for something a little Bit angrier than stock but not too loud. I just don’t know much about mufflers and exhaust systems so trying to learn here. In this case you just changed the muffler and not the exhaust pipes to achieve your goal?

Yup. Left the stock resonators in as well. I just had a quick 10 min drive home from the shop but I had absolutely zero drone w/ MDS engaged and it really comes to life w/ any gas. I'm really happy with it. Put some headphones in and put them around mid volume. Then check out the videos on page 7 for an idea. Go to their YouTube pages for driving videos. You can also see their discussion which led to my decision.

Exhaust

Just RTV Silicone, what I have/used is blue & rated at 450F, but any regular clear/black/red/blue RTV Silicone you buy should be fine. How long did you let it dry after applying? Package says 24 hours, but I just applied it and I have a trailer to pick up at 8 in the morning. You think I am...

I'm looking into these exact window visors. How do you like them?

So you just sprayed on and wiped off?

Installed rear well liners. This was after my truck was at the dealer for two days to get them installed (paid for as part of purchase) and they told me there was no liners that would work on my truck. Thanks to the info on this site, I was able to know they would work, and save $100 in the process.
