Finally completed my build...

Installed the 2” mopar lift, added terraflex 1.5” front spacers and daystar 0.75” spacers on the rear for 3.5”/2.75” of lift. Also added the ram airlift airbags to the rear for when the RTT is on and the bed full of overlanding gear.

added the blacked out trail rated badge (no set hole behind badge for 2020 sport s) and American Outlaw mirrors (by far best mirrors under $150!)
When you removed the old badge, how hard was it? What method did you use? Was there residue left from the old badge? Inquiring minds want to know...

How exactly do they mount? I looked at their website and their pictures are of low quality. Thanks in advance.

48" retractable key holder placed to the rear inside my Diamondback cover to have a key handy to unlock the rear cover when the tailgate is unlocked and opened. This is one less key to carry and I remove the key when the cover is removed. I have another same-cut key for the front cover that I seldom open inside the JT.

One Of my next purchases is going to be a DB HD cover. A little off topic but did you have issues installing the shims under you bed rail caps? Or did you even do that at all? Heard it’s kind of a pain and most of those clips break off in the process.

Looks great! That is also the same setup I have as well! Did you have any clearance issues with the positive wire from the winch rubbing the grill? I ended up drilling a new hole on the top side cover and ran the wires through the side. I also replaced the mounting bolts with ones a little longer to make sure the threads went through the square nuts.

Pretty easy removal pulling fishing line behind it to cut the 3m then removed the residue with goo gone and plastic putty knife. I mentioned that there was no mounting hole for the 2020 sport because i has purchased a badge with set post because another member had a hole on his. (Not sure if his was rubi mojave or 2021?)

best way to make sure they are level is to measure from bottom of tailgate to the bottom of template (if u got the hauk badge) for each letter

I always put a piece of tape where I want the bottom of the letters to be. Make sure that tape is level and equal distance from top or bottom and then just put the bottom of the letters right at the tape. Pretty quick and easy this way. Spacing between letters is a different story, lol
