I did see cheaper options on amazon but with mix reviews as far as working constantly, it seem like it was a hit or a miss,
had a couple hundred on my pocket I made from last weekend's soccer finals so easy come easy go
I've had my MX+ since 2020. I love it. Use it on all my vehicles. I use it sometimes on my Mazda for digital gauge via my phone since I have no way of seeing the vehicle temps otherwise.

I've always been curious. What's the extra benefit of the Obdlink MX+ ? What are you getting for $140?

I spent $32 on Amazon for both the bypass cable and a bluetooth OBD2 reader. It works perfectly with AlfaOBD and Torque.
The MX+ reader works on a multitude of different scanning formats and depending on which, can work with either iOS and Android.
Alpha OBD…only Android.

Just replaced my cabin air filter, 36750 miles on my 2019. I do it once a year. Pine needles from the neighbors tree and all kinds of crap. I put about 10000 miles on it in the last year. I also took the K&N air filter out and cleaned and re-oiled it. Have about 25000 miles on it. Figured it was time for a refresh. After it sits in the air box for a little longer Im going to go check to make sure no extra oil dripped out, even though it wasn't dripping after 40 minutes of sitting before installing, I want to be doubly sure. While it was air drying I threw the original Mopar filter in because the wife wanted to go to the store. I was surprised at how the truck ran, it felt better than the KN, probably just in my head but she said wow the truck just took off. I said yeah, I know. I guess the filter was really dirty, lots of crap fell out when I smacked it on the cardboard before washing it. I have been getting 9 miles to the gallon for the last few weeks so hopefully it jumps back up.

Can I count multiple items if my today stretched into weeks? :D Been sitting in my garage since I purchased it trying to get things installed.

1) Fitcam X front and rear
2) Full tint (front, sides, rear, roof)
3) 2/3 lowering kit (will be moving to ridetech, but I had the parts laying around already so why not)
4) x4s tonneau cover
5) Full sound treatment (CLD/MLV/CCF/BHT/etc.)
6) HK swap to Gladen/Audison/Helix (8's in doors)
7) DD SS3 SAE max
8) Form lighting headlights
9) under hood light strip and interior LED kit upgrade
10) Raxiom LED turn signals
11) tinted tails and 3rd brake light
12) Yellow brake caliper covers
13) Black lug nuts
14) TRX start button for the extra 5hp
15) misc crap: matte screen protector, phone mount, SKT console organizer, etc.

Decided to rotate my tires myself.
No impact wrench, just brute strength, the way it was meant to be.

Of note, I dropped my spare and checked the pressure. It was sitting at 19psi. Inflated it to 45 (sidewall said max was 51psi) so hopefully if I end up needing it it won't be flat.

As I count down to the last 2 weeks before my 2 months 12000 miles long trip, it's time to do some pre-trip maintenance:
first up, oil change. I'm not even at my 5k mile yet but i'm at around 3500 miles, so might as well so I won't go over the schedule. I'll do a drain and fill half way through the trip to keep it at 5k interval.
Then, I did 6 tire rotation. The dirty one on the ground was actually my spare under the truck for the past year. I installed TPMS sensors in both of them and put them in the front, and the front go to the rear, and one of the rear go under the truck.
truck picked up new sensors immediately after starting, no need to program or anything. Computer was reading the spare as driver side rear (which was where it was before) but a lap around the block took care of the reading.

I did 6 tire rotation to increase usage life on these AT3ws since AT3ws are now AT4ws.

Also finished the red truck (still mine for the time being since it's not done yet)
Guy got White Knuckle Sliders as well.

Also installed the BougeRV Yuma 200W solar panels and wired them up to charge the house battery.
That took the entire afternoon because I was making 10AWG harnesses...

Where did you get those lights from?

Silverholder. Weekend garage offers a complete kit that also includes strips for the center console. His kit also allows you to operate footwell lights independently from door lights. I have ambient lighting so I wasn't as concerned about that and this kit has a lot less rats nest of wiring.

I'm not seeing a red start button here... :unsure: 🤪
Not something I give two $%^@ about. :p

It was cheaper and better to swap the TRX interior than to reupholster my existing seats. My passenger seat was originally manual. Already sold the original seats and console so the whole thing cost me less than $800. I am picking up two front TRX door panels later this week. Still working on the rear door panel options.

$50 button and easy install! Would be another piece of the puzzle to help complete the switch you made. 😎

Guess I never thought about it. May have to look into it now. Thanks for pointing it out.
