I think I’m done for a bit…. Now it’s time to just enjoy the truck…. 😉
Did you buy the 21-23mm size for the lug nut covers? Been looking for something since I got my truck and been annoyed with the silver lug nuts when the rest of the truck is blacked out. Mopar wants $20 a nut which is insane to get all black ones. I also have purchased the LUX taillight tint. Did you install those yourself? How difficult was it? Super nice truck btw!

Added a soft top for vacation, I know there maybe better ones out there, but this was my first and didn’t know how well I would like it

I just discovered you can lock the rear axle in 2wd. 😃👍

Yes, it was helpful.

Yesterday I spent over an hour washing the outside of mine, cleaning the wheels and tires before using my foam cannon and brush, and using the bug and tar remover on a few spots…… all in time for it to rain that night. 😩

Just finished my lift and tires last week. Bilstein adjustables (5th clip) up front with new Bilstein rear coils and 1” rear Bilstein shocks. Upgraded to 275/65/20 KO2S. Truck ride is perfect.

I feel your pain. Seems like every time I get a chance to wash it good, it rains.

I washed mine hoping it would rain... guess I should have left it outside?

Forecast says sun for the 9 days, so I gave a her a quick bath.

Wasn't a proper cleaning, but the white wasn't bright anymore. Had to do something about it. 🤓

Washed it for the 47th time in the 6 weeks ive had it..Never again will i buy a black vehicle.
I owned black super-charged Toyota Levin back in the days of my youth. I loved that color so much that I flew to another province to buy my truck, just to escape having to deal with it again.

When black vehicles are clean, they are beautiful....for the 23seconds that they remain that way.

When they get dirty.....uugghhh!!

Please expound.
Well, I guess putting it in 4wd and locking the axle would have worked too, but I was trying to get back on pavement in a tight spot and in 4wd it's difficult to get a full lock on the steering wheel while barely or not moving. Right rear was barely making contact in loose dirt. Front wheels were on pavement and went from full left to full right as I backed up to pull forward. Not a life or death situation by any means, but leaving it in 2wd and locking the axle just made things easier.

I thought I had read somewhere the axle would only lock in 4wd, but I may be thinking of hill decent.
