That jt in the video had the full Ali baba treatment. My favorite was the hood window so you could impress everyone with that pinnacle of power 3.6 min van motor...

I mean, it's better than the 4-banger Tacos...

A motor in a mini-van does not a mini-van motor make. Otherwise the Hellcat would be a "mini-van motor".

This is definitely a good truck engine. Would I display it? Probably not. But it's not a bad engine, regardless of where FCA chooses to use it. I don't judge those who keep a clean engine bay and/or dress it up to be seen.

I'm not giving up AC vents for video games.
I was thinking the same fuckin thing.

If it wasn't for losing that vent, I would consider it.......I like how it streamlines the dash.

Wonder how it would last with salt air, direct sunlight and moisture (rain or mud)

Well I guess you wouldn't have to worry about getting your catalytic converter stolen anymore.

i have a very unexplainable visceral reaction to this thing. I deeply hate it way beyond any logic, reason, or possible justification.

Do they sell Gladiators in Russia? Because the whole aesthetic screams Russia to me. Just very braggadocios and looking for attention. I'm willing to the dude even decided on his particular brand of tires because the white letters say Fury

Wow, there's a lot of hate towards this. I think it looks cool but as others have mentioned, most aftermarket stuff like this is garbage. I would be nervous about replacing the gauge cluster and trusting that it's correct.

Hahaha man I was thinking the same thing. That background looks awfully like a former block nation state lol I wonder if their products come with a geiger meter.

At first glance I didn't realize you lose the right driver's AC vent. What a terrible design.

I agree with others, this has "cheap Chinese crap" written all over it.
