Wired up a BadgeGlow aux wiring block. Basically wire up the pigtails in the engine bay to this and wire in your lights and other stuff to the block with the block serving as the ground. I like that it makes identifying which switch goes to which wire easily. Still need to wrap up the connections with electrical tape and put some wire loom around the whole bundle but I wanted to show how they wired up.

This is in addition to the Aux Package? so basically organizing the compartment in which you're running the wires too?

I already had the aux package from factory, so the wiring was already in the engine compartment.

installed this GEM. Mopar should sell a pre-cut plastic 2x4 for plywood hauling and one of these. it was rickedy AF without any weight on it, but there's not much that can happen to the boards on it once properly tied down.

This thing made returning extra lumber so easy. it'll go up to 48.75" wide. And get this, at the highest height, its perfectly level with the middle tailgate position.

In the spirit of tomorrow, my first mod going into my LE, the Dirty Acres Grille Insert:

Is that the grille insert with a cutout for the front facing trail camera? How was the install with the cam? Have any pics?

What did you do with the soft top???

Traded soft top for hard top with someone on FB.

Yes, that is the grille insert with a cutout for the front facing camera. However, I feel like it was cut about 2mm longer on both ends and I don't have the tools to cut it to install so it is sitting on my shelf in the garage . I will tackle it one of these weekends... I do have a Dremel but I am not sure if that would be powerful enough to make that cut like an Oscillating tool would... I did contact Dirty Acres and tell them that it is about 2mm longer than it should be on both sides...

Wheels today, tint yesterday. 5% tint all around and Pro Comp 29 Series La Paz, 17X8.5 with 4.75 backspacing on Nitto Ridge Grappler 35x12.5x17. Love the stance and look!

Edited to add, I also trimmed off the closure panels on the bumper since I had some rubbing at full lock. All better now.

5% tint all around

so does that mean it only lets 5% of light shine through from inside? I never understood tint percentages.

Is that legal in Ohio?

Correct,
Only 5% light transmission. State of Ohio is 50% +/- 3% on driver/passenger front window. No less than 70% on windshield and remaining windows can be anything as long as you have left and right rear view mirrors. While illegal tint is a primary offense in Ohio and probable cause to make a traffic stop, most officers do not simply because they either do not have a tint meter to measure the actual tint or they do not care

Gotcha! Cool, now I know what I know.

You're more brave than me. I'm trying to avoid giving the police any reason to pull me over.

Dealer installed that I didn’t have to pay for. I’m hoping my eye Dr. will write me a script for dark tint since I just had advance surface ablation done to my eyes and bright light kills me at times.
