Fender chop not for the faint of heart. Stared at the fender with Dremel in hand for quite a while before cutting. The best video for install is the quadretec video however it doesn't match the quake instructions as the setup is a bit different.

picked up an offroam cellphone holder off fbook marketplace. I like it so far.
I'm catching up on my forum reading - too much work lately. I don't see your red dash under the phone mount. Did you ever get it done?

hey bro! No. It’s sitting in a box in my garage. They did send it to me for free but I told them I rather install it myself vs. a dealer (since I wanna add front trail camera and an interior am/fm antenna). So @Koons_of_Tysons_Corner mailed me the red interior direct.

Did the outside bezel piece (shown attached on your extension of the handheld controller) come with your kit?

Got home and installed my AWE Trail exhaust. Took about 30 minutes to remove the OEM exhaust and install.

Of note, I had previously chopped the exhaust to dump over the axle......so I took like 5 minutes to remove in one piece

So I think this is the piece you’re talking about. yes, it’s all part of the extension, but I had to buy it separately from the radio.

CERRXIAN RJ45 Male to Female LAN Ethernet Network Cat 5e Panel Mount Cable (Black)(2m) https://a.co/d/d8tOTar

This is the one I bought.

Yes, that is it. I have the extension from Midland , but not the panel mount. Thank you for the link. BTW, that is a really clean install :)

I've debated about these exact 2 exhaust configurations. Care to give a quick comparison?

I did actually ha, mofo to get back to torque spec on my back in the driveway :surprised:

Have actually messed around with them a couple times now, with more in the future. Originally had picked up the slightly longer Mopar LCA's since they were so cheap, but still wasn't totally happy with the ride, so have some Black Friday sale special Metal Cloak geo brackets on the way. Hopefully get them next week.

So since on this topic, and I have both the stock and the Mopar longer LCA's, is one preferred over the other to use with geometry brackets? I haven't seen anyone talk about it directly, so wasn't sure what would ultimately give the best ride. I know some like extra caster above stock. These are the brackets I'll be installing if it matters:

Metalcloak | JL Wrangler Geometry Correction Bracket
You know I did that 2" AEV and everyone says, use geo brackets to correct for the lift and they are designed for the stock length LCA's. Adding longer LCA's and the geo brackets gets you out of spec/too far. I can't get over how good this rides with the lift and geo brackets.

I just installed mine I bought from Black Friday sales. I did all the necessary research and watched videos, but I'm kind of not liking it. I called AWE and they explained to give it time to break in, it will quiet down. Right now, I am driving a lifted ricer lol.

I will say this, it does sound pretty cool when sitting, idling. Its when I get on it, it sounds like a turbo supra. I'm going to give it time, I have over 300 miles on it so far and it has quieted down a little.

Installed an intake, got rid of some sound deadening. Oil change and a Fumoto valve. Sent a sample off to Blackstone.
