Nice truck. To answer you LSD question Hit the gas. You will find out. Also take the wheels off again and paint the calipers. Makes a great up close touch.

I have hit the gas, did a couple of burnouts, even drag raced my truck before at the local 1/8th mile. It always performed like an LSD. But when I took the cover off, it doesn't look like an LSD to me

Nevermind on the LSD problem, Dog helped me figure that one out.

Thanks for the compliments. I do like the bug guard, now that I think about it. I just ordered the sport grill, that will be my next add on

Also I really like the look of the pocket style fender flares. Hoping to the get in the near future as well

Got another part to install today

OEM Mopar sport grille inserts.

Very straight forward install, removed the whole grille assembly, took out old inserts, put in new ones and reinstall assembly. Took about 20 mins. I took a picture comparing the honeycomb vs. horizontal grille. Which do you think is better? I like the style of the newer 06+ sport grilles over my 02-05 grille.

Half way done.
