I installed the MORE transmission skid plate last night. I did it by myself and it took around 2 hours. My back and neck are killing me now. I don’t have a lid or even jack stands so I did the whole thing laying down in my back.

The instructions were ok, it took me a bit of time to figure out where one of the support arms attached. I also felt like I needed an extra arm or two, and maybe an extra elbow, but eventually I figured it out.

It's a good piece of armor. Mine got a couple marks on it this weekend. Did you have trouble with the upper drive side bolt not fitting and needing to drill it out? I know both myself and a friend had that issue and it was not noted in instructions at all.

I didn’t have to drill anything out. Maybe they’ve updated it, or it’s a difference between the 2.0 and 3.6 version (I have 2.0). One bracket was a bit tight, but I got it to work.

New LOD Destroyers installed. New kit just ensure you check the bolts as they gave me the wrong ones that thread into frame. Gave me M12x1.25 vs correct M12x1.5 which I had to get from hardware store.
Same thing here - glad you were able to sort it out as well. Thought I was the only one haha

Could be that it's updated. We both are running the 2.0 as well and had to drill out to get the upper bolt lined up. Oh well, it's done now!

Installed Armorlite today. Easy install - took about 2 hours. Couldn’t be happier with the fit and finish and it looks stock.

After installing my LOD rails last week, the small amount of pinch seam I could see was killing my OCD.
So I installed Hammerhead’s bottom trim pinch weld covers this afternoon. I think they made a huge difference. No more pinch seam.
My only complaint is when you tighten the bolts, there is a bit of superficial flaking from the coating that comes off. Not really a big deal bc the metal underneath is black.
Overall, my OCD is pleased.

Are the Pentastars being shipped without the beauty covers? If so, do we know if the original owners will be provided with one, gratis, when they become available? Just curious.

Yes they are being shipped without the cover. I don’t think they will provide one later. I saw a post where someone had talked with Benny @mopar and he came up with a parts kit for the cover.

I installed the Redline Tuning Hood Quicklift system and the Smart Start/Stop module. Also installed the GPCA GP- Grip Pro grab handles with the window glass breaker pen.

You are really going to like the @Redline Tuning Hood Quicklift system and the @SmartStopStart.com module. Both are terrific products!

DO remember to remove the SmartStopStart unit and to reconnect the cable to the security gateway, before you take the vehicle into the Service Dept. for anything...

I added a Z automotive SGW extension cable, to make unplugging the SmartstopStart unit easy to unplug and plug back in. I already like the Redline Tuning system. It is really nice! Will be very handy!
