Mounted Element E100 fire extinguisher on driver front seat adjuster bar.

Was looking at ways to mount mine as well, also ordered with the code from that thread. What did you use to clamp around the adjuster bar?

Not too exciting, but I can't wait to try it out.
Previously, I mounted my required dune flag through a hole on the Arcus bumper meant for extra lights. It was a PITA getting my fat fingers under there to put the nut on the flag.
$2 in Uni-strut parts on the factory Trail Rail and problem solved. Not my idea, I stole it from someone else on this forum. The flag ends up almost 2 feet taller to help warn others that I am there. You can also see the Tyger trifold cover mounts for the Trail Rail system that was included in the bed cover, if anyone is interested.

I think the flag mount is my cheapest, and most boring mod yet!

Today I installed the Redline Tuning hood struts and brackets.

I loathe hood props, they either get in the way, or get knocked out and a hood comes down on head or hands.

Have used them before on other vehicles and they are a good, solid product.

Coming soon, Bolt hood locking kit and the Mopar locking gas cap.

Installed D&C Designs side marker lights.
Not a lot of info out there about them so I did a little write up that can be found here:

Where did you get the Rigid side-shooters brackets ?

@JRobes

The mounts I used were some old parts I had for years and never found a use for until now.

Look for 1/2" ID two-piece clamping collars, and use some vinyl tape of rubber hose to keep the clamp from rotating on the seat adjuster lever.

An example:

Nothing major. Black silicon frame (with flag design) and black hardware.

Got the idea from other members on sprucing up the 2x6 divider so had it line x’d & threw on my tailgate letters that were replaced with Hauk gladiator

Your other option to address the tag light glare is a pretty cheap solution. Look up "Lamin-x 148C Charcoal 4" x 8" Universal Film Cover Sheet" on Amazon. It's a small sheet of tint film. I saw a write up a while back where someone went through a lot of trouble to cut pieces to fit the tag lights. I ended up applying mine when I swapped my bumper. I found pulling the lights, fitting the film, then popping them back in made tucked the tint behind the light bezel and made for a cleaner look. The tint made all the difference in the world in the backup camera, but still lights the plate well at night.

i second this fix. i went with an 8”x”8 sheet so i could have plenty of extra film for my trial and error system, aka not taking the bumper off and pulling the lights out. i got a rough outline then made a dozen or so cuts until i had them close to the exact shape as the lens. no more glare, this forum once again doesnt dissapoint.

I ordered the KC Hilites 7318 A-Pillar Black light mount brackets from Amazon. I recommend them over the cheaper non brand ones. I’ve purchased both. The ~ $20 versions, I regret purchasing. The KC are built solid and line up perfectly. They are more expensive, but I would purchase them again. You get what you pay for.
