    tell us more! Such as how this comes apart and what you used for paint.
    I would also like to do this and would appreciate any tips/ hints.

    You bet!
    The knob itself just pulls off of the interior panel of the truck. Once off, you flip it over and you can see there are three small white “clips” holding the two pieces together. Lightly pry those clips toward the center of the knob. Then the two pieces can be separated.

    Before sanding the chrome with 100 grit sandpaper, I taped off the black portion of the knob to protect its finish. When I finished scuffing up the chrome surface, I cleaned it, re-taped it, and sprayed it with satin black Krylon paint. The Krylon I had states it’s specifically made for plastics.

    I hope that helps!4AA36E1F-94A8-40BF-9893-AE20362CED27.jpg

    awesome! Thank you, looks like I’m doing this tomorrow since I just picked up the Meso chrome delete kit and planned to install it tomorrow anyway.

    Tested the capacity of the fridge today and it came out to 47 Modelos… I suppose I’ll just have to drink the extra one while I stock it!

    ***DISCLAIMER - I would never drive with the fridge loaded like this with glass bottles, especially off-road. This is just living room goofing!***

    Just make sure the technician actually resets the maintenance counters. They forgot to do mine and I've had a yellow light on my dash for months now. Fortunately I haven't received that message, but I did remove the DCM fuse so that may have something to do with it.

    So they come anywhere you're at and mount and balance your new tires in the truck? Kinda like the windshield/glass co's eh.

    Man that came out great. You satisfied that they put everthing back together properly?

    The best led headlights out there are the OEM LED's or if you're set on aftermarket lights the Morimoto XB Gen2's are the way to go. Do yourself a favor and go with one of these. Those crazy light shows do nothing for performance and the output of the alpharex isn't that good.

    Note: Youtubers get the products for free in exchange for raving about them so not really an honest review.

    Did you have to take the door panel off? Or did you literally just pull up on the knob?

    Just reset your maintenance on dash menu? Just another reason I'm glad I disable the nags.

    Edit: Disregard, looks like you already got it :thumbsup:
