Installed Lamin-X Gun Smoke Tint film on Headlights, & Tails....a bit too dark, Probably will keep it until I get pulled over. Definitely illegal in CA. Kinda has a reddish hue to it in the sun...notice it a bit on the driver side headlight.
How's the road noise?Decided on the Falcon Wildpeak A/T3W, went with 275/60R20. I love the look of them and happy with my choice. I was actually pleasantly surprised at how the 33" filled the wheel well.

Got this blueridge overland roll-up dump pouch that I had simply been using the open ITW GrimLoc clip to hang over the edge of the console side cubby. Worked decently, but would slide all over the place and occasionally fall off. Thought I could make use of the velcro surfaces and add some hook-side velcro beneath cubby opening to keep it secure. After more thought, realized it would make more sense to get a nice wide strip of the loop side and run it the full length so that I could attach any velcro backed organization items I wanted (since they usually all have hook side on back).
Found some good 4" wide stuff on amazon that claims heat resistance up to 90 +- 5* Celsius (185--203* Fahrenheit) and doesn't leave traces when peeled off. With seats all the way back, a 12" strip will take you just behind seat to end of cubby opening. Prepped surface by cleaning with isopropyl alcohol then applied the loop side to both driver and passenger side. To support the BROG dump pouch I double sided some hook surface to create two patches that I could put on either side for holding the dump pouch. Keeping it on passenger side now and it works great!
Even had an unused Maxpedition mag holder that I had on bottom of rear seats for baby gear organization (was gonna roll up diapers in the loops but unfortunately too small haha), that I now use on driver side for my survival knife (has glass breaker and cord/seat belt cutter). So many options for velcro organization in general, I'm gonna have some fun! Will report back on whether the adhesive survives the upcoming 105* TX summer weekend.
Fitment wasn't great Great on the tails....Driver side tail I tried to trim edges with razor to fit...had to heat gun it to get film to take shape....Passenger went on easier, i used more heat and wrapped excess film around edge of lights....I did cut off the tabs probably wasn't supposed to but It helped me to get film to lay flat. Headlights didn't take the corner well and were a bit of a pain too. Not sure if I'm totally happy yet. Tails look better than the headlights do at night. Not sure I like the quality of light coming out of the headlights now..Gonna give it a few days to see if it changes if there is any more moisture evaporating...I was working the tails tonight. Started a bit too late and ran out of sunlight. This is my third vehicle I've used Lamin-X on and honestly, the fitment feels a bit off for this one. I will see if the driver's side is any better tomorrow. Looks like yours went on pretty cleanly though.
I haven't been on the interstate yet, but on the city streets it isn't anything extra or noticeable to me. I don't drive the truck much as I have a daily driver for my job. I am planning on getting the alignment done with my oil change at the dealer Saturday. They are located by an interstate so I will have a better answer then.How's the road noise?
Installed my Diamondback truck cover . I’m digging it so far .

Probably not the greatest picture, the sun is right at the front of the house and causing some glare. I did plasti dip the chrome piece across the top to see how it would look before spending the money for the factory black piece. Right now I have the matte black overlays from reflective concepts on the letters.Do you have a pic of the front? It looks like you did some plasti dipping to the grill.

Like this? If this is what u meant it does look better but it messes up the plastic separating it from truck....plus the top cuts into the upper trim...may have just been cut poorly because passenger front is flat ...I don’t like it between the rubber and plastic either....all good though, already ordered the Mopar which goes under the weather stripping so it shouldn’t be a problem View attachment 51865

They look real good on that blue tooYeah, they’re much better than the stock big horn wheels
10 mins to break it down.man that looks awesome!!! I like how you can open it either direction. What is the process to remove it if you had to put something large in the back?
