    Anything for the horde. Does anyone actually have anything attached to the ram mount on theirs?

    I do, but haven't figured out what to put on it yet. I gained all that viewing area and I'm not sure I wanna give it up so soon. Maybe a longer arm and holder for the passenger/navigator seat?

    Not a bad idea. It's pretty cluttered up there for me already -- I have my dash cam on the drivers side, Ipass transponder on the right, and gopro in the mount there.

    Considering my history with broken windshields maybe I should just leave it alone.

    Not necessarily: TSB Rev-1 states 2016 and 2017 Models may display the issues. Gotta check the VIN Codes affected: AZ5CN, BZ5DN, CZ5AN, DZ5BN, EZ5CN, GZ5AN, RZ5CN, SZ5AN. THESE ARE THE 4TH THROUGH 8TH DIGITS OF THE VIN OF AFFECTED VEHICLES.

    Let me know if you manage to mount the light bar with the SSO bumper. I have the same bumper with a Smittybilt X20 winch and cancelled my order for the Cali light bar. They told me you need about 8 inches of space behind the grille for the bar. I have only an inch or so as the winch solenoid sits back there. Also, I think the brackets are meant to sit on top of the crash bar which is removed completely during the bumper install. I considered their flush mount bar instead but did not really like the look of it.

    Alright guys... mine is produced after 11/16 (12/16 to be exact) and my vin falls under DZ5BN, so I guess my car is sluggish


    Where is the TSB that I can print and take with me and how long does this take?

    Rev 1 sticky thread has the PDF in it. Time depends on how busy your dealer is. Mine took 5.5 hours (with 10k service) and I use a very busy dealer.

    Sounds like your dealer did the Transmission fluid level check. Most seem to just flash the ECU and call it complete. Doesn't take much time when they just do that. But I'm sure it all depends on the Dealer and their attention to details and how busy they are.

    A point to be made here is that all it means is that your vehicle MAY be affected. Doesn't automatically mean you will have any or all of the issues listed in the TSB. Mine only displays the Hunting for gears and hard downshift when slowing down. Will talk to the Dealer when I go in for the 6 mo/5K checkup.

    Took mine 30 mins. They wouldn't however just let me walk up and get it, i had to 'prove it'. I handed her the TSB and she didnt really care.

    So i took the tsb back, read the symptoms listed on it to her as my own, and they did it.

    I'm really interested in knowing how you did this. Was it an easy take apart and put together process?

    I've purchased 4 different kinds of velcro and can't get any of it to stick to the headliner. What are you using to keep those up there?
