Looks great!

Finally installed my MOPAR window rain guards in between all the freakin rain in the North East.
The clips on the rear windows are a PITA. I like the OEM low profile and the folding mirrors don't even come close to hitting them.
Hopefully they cut down some air noise at highway speeds.

Ha..I installed the same ones this weekend and I couldn't agree more about the rear ones. I finally figured out the trick which is to separate the push pin from the base, insert the base in the clip and then push the pin through the guards then into the clip. I am a little surprised at the loss of visibility with them. My wife isn't so sure about them. We will see.

Looks great!

Thanks

Nice! I'm getting antsy for my coating... I'm spending way too much time researching different products, now going down a rabbit hole of whether it's going to be too humid in my garage when I want to apply it, and whether or not I have to do something about that. Hopefully before the end of August, I'll actually have it put on, not be complaining about making a mess of it, and stop over thinking it. Having a job that requires me to design processes for everything and imagine every risk really does have it's downfalls...

Get you one of those portable dehumidifiers, I run one in my garage.

Don't they give off heat, though? I think the portable AC unit's do the same thing, since they are basically dehumidifiers, right? I'm thinking about one of those, just a matter of whether I want to drop $500+ for it, and cut a hole in the garage to vent it.

The dehumidifier is great if you also need heat. My feeling for the summer months is to use an AC. I use a dehumidifier in my cellar where I have a nice exercise set up and the whole family (5) use it. The dehumidifier seems to use a lot of electricity.
I have never compared energy use between the two but it seems to me it would be a "wash".

 

[Duran]

Very nice look qnd not bad on price

 

[Whoa_Ram]

Did a bit of customizing today. Just playing around with paint.

You are right I saying an Air Condition unit is a dehumidifier. This is the act of conditioning the air. It blows the warm moist air across cool coils aborbs heat and discharges it elsewhere.

A dehumidifier works the same way. It just doesn't discharge the heat elsewhere since it is just trying to remove moisture. It does not create heat, nor does it cool. The cooling action of the coil releases the heat it absorbs right on the other side of the unit. It is only releasing the heat it has absorbed in the same space.

Gotcha, thanks! I will definitely look into it

Do Dehumidifiers Add Heat to a Room?

“Do dehumidifiers add heat to a room?” It’s one of our most commonly asked customer questions. The answer is your comfort level won't change. Yes, dehumidifiers naturally create a small amount of heat as they operate. But most customers don’t notice it for a few reasons: (1) it's a very slight...

My dehumidifier is probably working overtime (undersized?) but in the summertime it seems to kick up the heat and assist in heating the other seasons. Way better to go the AC route in hot weather and get the heat out.
My post could have been a little more substantial as far as the amount of heat or to retain the heat, did not mean to indicate it would be used as a heat source.

 

[GraniteRam]

I looked into the portable AC units before I bought the dehumidifier and decided I didn't want to cut a hole in the wall for the vent. The garage is fully insulated so it stays at a pretty consistent temp.

I installed my tonneau cover and rail system. It's the truck hero elevate rail system with an undercover armor flex cover. I had backflips ony past 2 trucks and wanted to try something different. So far the build quality of the under cover seems to be a little bit better than my MX4.

Sounds pretty durable. What material(s) is it made of?

 

[WReckeR]

Not today, but yesterday.

Took this out:

...and put this bad boy in:

There is no welding, correct? Just slip joints, maybe band clamps or something? I did a basic exhaust replacement on my Dodge Dakota a few years back, after the OEM rusted out. I just assembled and hung it. It's a bit stinky though, either because my engine has 200K miles on it, or perhaps due to exhaust leaks at the joints? But the joints were sufficiently snug, I thought.

If the Borla is DIY without any special techniques, I may put one on my shopping list.

No welding, goes into the factory hangars. Factory exhaust can be a PITA to remove without cutting, but can be done if you remove the spare tire (and the metal shields around it). I also had a bit of annoyance getting one of the tips aligned, but got it to work.

The kit provides all the clamps you need and you just re-use the factory gasket.

All of the metal bits seem to be aluminum and it has a Line-X coating that matches the bed. It advertises that it can hold 500 pounds on top and my kids can run around on top of it. I got the rails added because I have a rhino rack that I mount to carry my bike.

 

[VectorZ]

I picked up some 3M rally stripes on Ebay. Pretty happy with the look.

 

[SkittleRam]

Shampooed the seats....grosss.....

 

[GadgetMason]

Tint day! 40% sides, 6” strip on front and back, 30% sunroof. All 99% UV rejection Ceramic. Love it!

 

[austwill]

Not all today, but I got tint and new wheels and tires. Put Madico Black Pearl ceramic all around, 15% on all windows then 70% on windshield and sunroof. Wheels are Vision Manx 2 20x9 +12 offset and 305/55r20 Nitto Terra Grappler G2s. Slight rubbing when wheel is turned all the way left or right so I guess I better hurry up and bump the front up!

I’ll also be looking to sell the stock Laramie wheels in the DFW area, so if anybody is looking for that…
