Installed a tailgate re-enforcement bracket with my RC tire relocator.. Worked great and the 2 brackets lined up perfect.. Got tired of hearing my gate rattle. Made a huge difference on the stiffness of the gate itself.. Also this is not the Mopar part for $600 but a amazon knock off that only cost $220.. It's exactly the same at almost 1/3 the cost!!! Sorry I just couldn't justify $600 for a simple bracket.. Well worth it if you have a heavy tire.

Thanks man, i was dead set on black fuel shock wheels, but my wife fought tooth and nail and pushed me into these.. and I am thrilled, really came out perfect, and enjoy that it didn't follow the pack and get black rims like everyone else.

I agree. I never liked the look of all blackout wheels. I like to see some contrast as materials transition from one to another. This is also why I painted my grille trim pieces in a metallic charcoal shade instead of black. If I were to get upgraded wheels, they’d be that shade as well or dark bronze.
