Post 10 has the inductions. I would amend them though. First make sure you can shift to 4h with the truck off. Pop the boot up and remove the bezel around the 4x lever Nd park brake (the front clip by the dash is a monster). Remove the front driver's side cap and screw (his step 1) after removing the bezel and lift the corner of the console up enough to pull the centering piece next to the drivers seat out of its spot and you can flex the console from there.

With the 4x lever in 4h you should have access to the nut with a 1/4 ratchet and short 14mm socket. Loosen the nut while holding the lever so you don't throw it back into 2h, when it's loose slide the lever forward in the slot and tighten the nut back.

Before you put it all back together go test it out and make sure it works, putting things cask only takes a couple minutes but taking it apart again will be a pain

Finally finished up the inner fender liners for front and back

Installed the AAL high line fender kit on the passenger side. Ended up with a 1/4” gap between the lights and fender and not sure why. I’m open to any suggestions.

Put on the Mopar cab cover - weather this week in AZ is perfect for having the top off, so the Overland is getting tucked in with its new cover nightly.

Took out stock front bumper bezels to paint them body color. Replaced them with black ones until the paint cures and can be ceramic coated.

Looks great. Did they pop out from the front with a trim removal tool or a flat bladed screw driver or did you have have to take bumper out to take them off from the back side?

Cover looks good. Review on Quadratec and other places are horrible for fit and finish. How do you like it and what are your thoughts?

Great idea. I hate the silver colored bezels. Can you order all the body colors paint in spray cans? How much is it per can?

A little Bleach White and scrub on the white tire letters. Should of put them facing in. I forgot that it takes a little work to keep them clean. Can't do brown dirty letters!

Like many things in life, there's just a bit of room for improvement - I've only put it on a few times, so maybe it needs a little breaking in. The top fitment could be a bit more taut (in case of rain) and the windshield portion isn't completely flush - maybe with time it'll relax a bit. Overall I'm happy with it - the best part is it folds up quite small and has a storage bag. I have no qualms with the finish at all.

There is one bolt on the back of them. You need to open the back panel on the bumper enough to reach it. The rest of it I just used a trim tool to pry out. If I’m not explaining it well enough, I can get you pictures.

I ordered the body color and a can of clear coat (both spray cans from Mopar). They seem to have all the body colors. I got them from Quadratec but amazon carries them too. Around $15 to 18 per can.
I’m pretty pleased with the results so far. This picture doesn’t do it justice. The metal flake looks good in the light.

You're good. I will look at it when I pull the cover panels out to change the fog lamp bulbs.
Thanks your comments. I think it looks great body colored. Mine is white, so I'll check out factory bright white paint as you mentioned.
