Rhino8541 build

I've been slow to update.

I received my ultimate LED turn signals and got them installed. Super easy and the color of the amber is much better than stock. The chrome is slowly disappearing!

I also just ordered the 12 volt solutions 100% plug and play remote start kit. Wiring and I have our differences, and I'm happy to pay extra to avoid any issues during an install and being able to remove the kit easily is a plus as well. The time and frustration saved will be well worth it.

I wish I had known of this option earlier!

I guess I got caught up in the excitement. I received my CVT tent, RCI rack as well as my hi lift recently. Took the tent out for a few nights not long ago. Being up off the ground is a great feeling! I really enjoyed it.

The truck did great on some pretty rocky forest service roads with the KO2s. I had a few interesting moments within a few inches of a steep drop off, but had a great time.

Hopefully more to come soon.

 

The 12 Volt Solutions remote start kit went in without a single issue. It took me longer to zip tie all the wiring up nice and neat than it did to hook up the completely plug and play harnesses in to the truck!

I highly recommend this set up if you hate wiring as much as I do. A 6 minute YouTube video gives great instructions you can follow along with. Easily worth the extra money over the kits that require cutting factory wiring.

I can't wait to start using it!

 

I absolutely love the remote start so far!

I installed the molle rear panel yesterday. Not too bad of an installation. I applied black hushmat while I had everything out. It might be me trying to hard, but I think it might be quieter now than before. I used almost 10 square feet of material.

 

Got some more use out of the CVT this past weekend! I love RTT camping. You can see my new window tint, MesoJDM turn signals and my naked B-pillar! I'm pretty sure I want to remove my TRD bed stickers. I would like to go full black and tan eventually. (Black rims, BHLM + MesoJDM black tails )

 

I like where your build is headed!

Are you possibly selling your current grill when your pro grill arrives?

 

Once I get it mounted up I will assess which I like better and sell whichever one I don't like as much. I think it's going to be a tough decision.

 

I agree! It boils down to whichever I can get at a better cost because otherwise, I’d never end up deciding!

 

I'm currently waiting on some parts to try to fab up a T-track to use Ram mounts with. I saw one member do a really clean flush mount install, but he hasn't been active in a long time. I plan to put my cell phone and Ipad mini for offroad navigation.

I'm looking into how I can make my cell phone mount charge wirelessly.

Gotta love new toys.

I can't wait to get everything delivered and get it all mounted up! I'm still waiting on my SSO bumper so I can mount my winch and lightbar. Once I order some ditch light brackets, I can get my KC flex pods mounted up as well. Add in my Faux PRO grill and my truck will get a considerable facelift.

 

Good times meeting TW folks!

 

Note to self. Get OEM bedmat so these guys don't go sliding around everywhere. Lucky for him I had bungees.

 

I put some @rrentrop vinyl on my new grill.

I added some to the AJT key fob, glove box and steering wheel as well.

 

Hoping to come up with a RAM track system up here...

 

That's your choice. Many folks install these or something similar.

 

I've kept the lettering for now, still undecided, but I don't hate it enough to remove it.

 

No tire is going to stop a big nail or bolt from going in. The stock Off-Road tires are reinforced with Kevlar on the sidewalls to prevent gashing on sharp rocks. I'll buy your stock tires. They are badass.
