Yup, sits in the garage collecting dust. Bought in 2017 and just got its 5k oil change.

Lots of mods but big things are cam and nitrous.

Finally installed the black “A” pillars, “B” pillars, and seatbelts.

I may take the headliner down one day and get it covered. Finish off with the black visors and other plastic trim pieces.

Awesome rcsb, we share some similar mods. Keep posting pics!

also, how did you get your turn signal mirrors to activate? I’ve been through the steps I’ve found and they won’t blink or puddle lights won’t come on.

IIRC the settings in Alfaobd were:
Mirror approach lights present- yes
Mirror turn signals present-yes

The mirrors were a fun project. Don’t know if there’s an oem part number but I ended up piecing together the power mirror button in my original RC window switch. The switch I bought and intended to use had the wrong plug.

Added some more black plastic pieces. Gonna definitely add the visors and maybe mess with the headliner one day. I like the contrast for now.

Curious as to what’s with the eco diesel intake? Cheap CAI?

The opening in the lower part of the EcoDiesel airbox is considerably larger than the one for the Hemi. The EcoDiesel and the 6.4 Hemi both use the same factory air filter, it is thicker and more pleats than the 5.7 Hemi spec.
As for being a CAI, all the engines pull air out of the front fender area. That provides cooler air than some of the marketed CAIs.

Yup, read about the air box on here. Figured I’d give it a shot.

Installed the Freedom Offroad panhard today
