Looks great! I'd like to do this also, can you show us how you made the cutout for the right side or any other tips/details? Your rig looks nice, and I feel the exact same with their only being one hook on the Sport.
Thanks! I actually ordered an oem bezel for the passenger side. So no cutting or anything like that. It's not a hard job to do, but a tedious task removing the original bezel and swapping in the new bezel with the cutout.

The bezel was $13 from my local dealer. Part # is 68432090AA. You would also need to get a tow hook and 2 bolts for the hook.

I too had the replacement bezel but I was at a loss when I tried to figure out how to swap it out. So I ended up just hogging out a hole with my Dremel.

Very clean cut! I was debating to cut when I was halfway through taking apart the darn bumper lol. Yours looks great!

Not a biggie. Some keycaps from Threedom. One less bit of chrome/steel to look at. May Plasti dip front bumper til I get a new one....

FINALLY getting the new hard top today. Had water leakage back in November, they resealed the rear window BUT, couldn't get all the water out.

I convinced them that residual water inside can freeze and expand in the winter and crack the top.

So they ordered a new top under warranty. Was told it'd be in, in mid-late January. It didn't come in until 28 March. So, now it's at the dealership getting replaced.

The new tops don't come with the rear window so they have to remove my old one and put it into the new top. I told them to keep it overnight because I wanted to make sure that the sealant really set well and there was no jostling on the way home. They agreed. So, I'll pick it up Thursday or Friday this week as they weren't sure they could get the window guy in today.

But, at least they're doing it :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock:

I entrusted mine to someone else today ? ? ?

My DIY skills meet their limits when it comes to differential work and a locker isn’t going to install itself…

Like dropping your first born off at daycare for the first time ?

So new tops don’t come with the part that leaks??‍♂ Thought they had to break the window to remove it.

In order of least to most exciting:

Moved the front facing fogs to the rear to act as chase lights:

Got my cargo boards back from Linex.
Almost went with a do-it-yourself kit, glad I didn’t. They even filled some of the imperfections prior to spraying!

I really like your idea. Did the spray liner add much thickness and make parts tight or not line up with the tailgate, or did you account for that in the setup?

Installed the Mopar "cold" air kit. (Not cutting the hood and installing the flap). Not expecting much, the pipe from the air box to the throttle body is a lot larger, high flow filter and the air box cover is also different.

Also oil change and wheel rotation.
