You needed a radiator hose pick.

I had to re-tint my front door windows because Massachusetts only allows for 35%. My original tint brought it down to 11% measured with their device. I'm happy with the Galaxie (Solar Guard) product, but still liked it when the fronts matched the backs.
At least I can 'Legally' drive the roads now. IMHO there are too many happy police around here.
Next: I have sitting in the room: Mopar Vent visors and mud flaps. I'm waiting for my COVID recovery so I can get stronger to do it myself.

So at that point, why not just remove the chunk of hose from the "kit" and just install the valve where you cut the heater hose?
Because that end was the female end not the male end so I had to slide the new hose from the kit over the fitting.

Had my tints put on finally today. I went with ceramics and matched what the factory did on the rear doors and back glass. Also did the eyebrow. No pic as it’s pouring rain right now lol.
I’m curious. How many years is the inspection good for. I sure hope you don’t have to do that yearly that would totally suck.

Based on the picture from Amazon link, you just remove the hose clamp and hose from that side of valve and you should have been able to slide the heater hose onto the barb in valve. Which gets me back to, why buy the "kit" when you can buy just the valve for around $10, and it would just go into the heater hose.
Ok I get what you’re saying. Yeah that probably would’ve worked but here’s 2 reasons why I didn’t: I wasn’t planning on doing that so when I cut the hose I cut it right at where it meets the fitting, so there was no hose overlap for me to stick the barb into. Second, I didn’t feel like figuring out what size valve I need and clamps and I thought I needed that piece of hose too (guess I didn’t), so I figured shoot for an extra $10 might as well get a “kit” that takes all the guesswork out. I don’t regret spending an extra $10 at all

Got my bed cover and Weather Tech rain guards installed, then took it to the car wash to meet the guys who will be washing it for the next 10+ years.
should be lifting the front of the truck in the morning so I can install them and then I’m still waiting on the BDS kit in the rear to be delivered so I’ll be riding with the a$$ dragging more than usual for a bit lol

Weathertech replacement today. AVS Bug Guard Il. Very happy with the result! Also very similar to the WT, except this one does not eat paint

I'm surprised that most of you "guard" types don't opt for a clear wrap for your hood. No offense, but those plastic guards are just butt ugly. I'd rather have rock chips in my hood, which I do, than run a big ugly piece of plastic out front. Again, no offense.Installed my paint eating

None taken... I'll go without the chips. Personal pref. Had one on every truck I've owned. Makes a big diff with and without for windshield splats.I'm surprised that most of you "guard" types don't opt for a clear wrap for your hood. No offense, but those plastic guards are just butt ugly.

Easy fix without replacing the dash
Dash Separating Above Speedometer
Anyone else have / notice this issue? Assume it won’t be any issue getting repaired or replaced under warranty. 2020 Limited - Can see where the corners lift on both sides. No idea when it happened, while very noticeable when you’re looking at it, not that noticeable otherwise.

Dashboard fit and finish problem?
Has anybody else had an issue with these corners above the instrument panel of the dashboard popping out of place or prying up? Mine is pulling up so far that I can see the wiring and components underneath. I've tried pushing it back down pretty aggressively thinking that maybe there were clips...

Just curious, do you have pictures of the WT of wherre it was eating the paint? As you know I already have the AVS 2 but curious as to what the difference is between the WT and AVS as they look very similar in design.Installed my paint eating
My AVS was hitting the top of my grill, but I believe that is an alignment issue on my side because it's over more to passenger side and it's the driver side hitting. So the curved cutout on driver side needs to be shifted over maybe 1/8 or so its centered perfectly and then I won't have that issue. Temporary I have adjusted the hood stop so it sits higher off the grill until I get a day without rain to readjust the deflector.

Changed out my cloth seats for Katzkin leather today. $1,500 installed. Had neoprene seat covers and my back would be soaked every time I drove anywhere.
