Lmao unless it’s the stock retractable boards I could slightly understand the $600 charge lol even though I wouldn’t pay that.

Just got my 2021 Laramie and the 1st thing I wanna do is add the wireless charging. Going to watch some videos and see how hard it is to complete at home.

I thought the dealer was out of control when he quoted $545 (parts included) for a block heater, but that takes second to your $600.

Congrats, Pretty easy install but if you use android auto or car play save your money since you need to plug your phone in.

Just got my Rugged Liner E-Series Hard Folding Truck Bed Tonneau Cover. Had ordered the one from Rough Country but after 3 back order delays finally cancelled it and ordered this one on Amazon, got it in 3 days. Very happy with it. Just in time as we are expecting 12" of snow in a couple days.

Sounds like it might be worth it. Any estimate on the range of the light? 10', 20'? More?
20 sounds about right.
The light spread is excellent!
I bought replacement bulbs for the reverse lights lights not knowing that the housing is sealed.
This light bar is a great alternative to that.
If you get it, hopefully your truck is one of the ones that the light doesn’t hit the tailgate.
If it does though, at least the fine folks here have modified then shared that.

Yeah I was in sticker price shock, just the cast aluminum off-road running boards. For $600 I could hire a lawyer to install them.

Yep...that’s insanity lol they really did not want the job

I did the Adams Ceramic too, very easy to wash and dry. Road debris doesn’t stick to the paint. I can go 2 weeks without washing it and it doesn’t look bad
Great news! How was the application process??

Applied reflective red lettering on the hood bezels from Reflective Concepts. A surprisingly stressful job trying to get them to line up properly. They gave some extras in case I messed up though.

Also got some fender vents installed from Air Design USA. Took it to a body shop since it required cutting into the fenders. Body shop charged me an hours worth of labor to get them installed. Not bad in my opinion.

That red looks great with the sport hood!

And yeah...I won’t tell you how many tries it took me to get those letters and numbers to line up correctly lol. Did you cut out each letter and number and do them individually?

Initially, I was individually pealing the lettering off completely and trying to line it up. Then I realized 1500 could stay on the transparent sheet to line up the adhesive side properly. Hemi 5.7L was definitely the painful part because I had to peel it off and drop it inside while it wouldn’t stop sticking to my fingers.
