I've had this truck now since February and decided to finally make a build thread of everything I've done to it. Already had the headlights on order as I had planned to swap them in the ’13 so was one of the first mods I completed.

As I had a few other items I had ordered for the ’13 that could be installed on the ’14, I added the UnderCover Tri-Fold back cover and also the sPod 6-circuit power distribution unit.

Installed a 42″ curved combo fog-spot LED bar into the bumper

Upgraded the OEM UConnect 5.0 radio to the Uconnect 8.4NA which included the upgraded bezel and required a new AC/Heat Controller module and a custom harness

Next up to complete is the Premium Cluster upgrade, which just need to get the Odometer reprogrammed to match my mileage.

New Antenna

Installed the center console in the truck. Enabling the rear auto duct was a pain in the ass!!

Swapping the internals from one bezel to the other

I plan on plasti dipping the silver on the bezel and the center console to Graphite and the chrome section I plan on using the Graphite metalizer to darken it up a bit.

Many thanks to everyone on the forums for the information that has been posted that helped me get to this point! Also want to thank Sausec17 for the center console and meeting me during my drive up to NJ so I could pick it up, CuylerTech for the cluster as well as the wiring harness to complete the 8.4 swap and Turblown03 for the brackets for the light bar!

The front and rear floor brackets, did you have to order the bolts or did you reuse bolts from the jumpseat/console swap?
