EGR window visors. The front ones don't use any adhesive, they just pop in with some twisting. The rear does use 3m adhesive. Windows kinda struggled to go up at first, but I believe after a few days things should settle in.

Bkinnell, I don't want to rain on your parade as they say but want you to know of my experience. I put those valve stem caps on my JT last fall. The salt and brine treatments used on the roads here in NE Ohio have "welded" them on to the valve stems. Mine goes in next week to have the tires removed, valve stems replaced, tires remounted and rebalanced. Just a heads up for you.

How bad was the dead pedal install? I REALLY need one. My WJ has a good place to rest the left foot when driving, the JT - meh.......

Started the REDARC trailer brake controller install. The hardest part so far was the 12volt socket removal. The tool didn't really help at all, and in fact, made it more difficult because it's die-cut, has rough edges that made it not fit those square holes well, plus, it shoved the metal out because if the extreme tight fit and made it wedge against the plastic it was supposed to release!
It fit perfectly in the 12 volt outlet piece it comes with, not worth a darn in my JT outlet. Had I known this before trying, I'd have filed it to fit the holes better and not had it flare those little square holes out into the plastic like it did. In the end, the tool made things worse because of the poor fit - so it took nearly an hour to remove the 12v socket without damaging things. (want to relocate it to the glove box area if I can figure a way to feed that wire over that way)

Everything else is installed and connected, just need to but the little knob/control part in place and put things back together.

Thanks Rich for the heads up! I’ll be removing mine before winter for sure.

It was pretty easy. Took me 20-30 mins. Lots of different angles you can tweak to your like. I like it a lot.

Thanks. That's another bit I can add to this truck to make it even better on trips.
Time to find/purchase.
