I installed this cover last week and have been trying to t it as water tight as possible. Added weatherstripping in the 1" Gap at tailgate a d that's working pretty good. Latest rain storm I went out and had alot of water dumping out the rails at the back of the truck as my truck was parked in the driveway and sloped to rear. The drains they provide are for the front near the cab. After researching it seems they used to provide these for the rear. I emailed them to see if they still carry the part

Installed my Helwig sway bar. Twice lol. Dyslexia sucks, put it on upside down, stared at it for a minute lying on my creeper, then flipped it! Luckily it's super easy. Put it on the tightest setting, definitely felt nicely snubbed down on my little handling test loop. Didn't seem to hurt the damping at all.

Any interference with your tailgate going down?

I rolled the bottom 1/4” of my license plate behind itself. It would have hit the tailgate otherwise.
 
Replaced my Mopar tri fold hard tonneau top with a BakFlip MX4 tri fold hard tonneau top due to hail damag.

I have the rear lowered as well on my 2019 Billet Silver QC! Just placed an order though on basically the exact same identical truck I have except crew cab with the 6'4" bed! The car seats and clients just were not working working well in the smaller backseat of the QC. Other than that I Love my QC!

Yeah I am looking forward to the space and so is the family and the clients I haul around in the back from time to time. My wife seriously couldnt believe how much room the 2nd rows have in the crewcabs
 
I didn’t want to invest in a console safe that technically uses the factory plastic sides and floor to protect my valuables (and I'm cheap). So I installed a portable electronic safe box with a cable.

I removed the console bolts/screws to slide it back for access, drilled a hole in that odd extra pocket at the base, then ran the cable looping it through the metal frame in the dash. Not a perfect solution, but it is removable for travel, and cost me less than a $50 bucks.

I have also been working on templates for the vinyl cutter so I can add some door sill protection (still need to tweak the design a bit).

Still working on the entire silver interior delete thing, with black contrast finishes. Got the doors almost done, rails, handles, and switch boxes. I’m thinking about adding a gloss black trim ring around the speakers to balance out the look. That turned out really nice on the dash speaker grills.

I also cut and added some foam panels to the upper armrest to help secure stuff from sliding around ( was driving me nuts!).

If anyone knows how to remove the upper glove box, please let me know. I haven’t started on it yet, but I’m guessing the dash and lower box have to be removed to gain access.

Argh! I can’t stand the chrome in my Laramie! How did you black everything out? Wrap it? Did you pay to have it done or tackle that on your own?

Looks great. Really nicely done.
