Here. I got the smoked strip markers, which has the raised portion you can see in the pics. If you get the smoked dotted lens, it looks identical to the OEM marker except it's dark.
Easy to replace or do you have to remove a bunch of stuff?

NM....found the video....

Hit the road on a 350 mile trip fully loaded for spring break. And I mean fully loaded (family of 5, I’m the lone male) with a weeks worth of “stuff” and extra beach chairs and whatnot on top of the usually loaded campsite goodies. I’m not sure we’ll get much heavier than this, we even brought 5 bikes (one’s a 65 lbs ebike) and to my delight the ole girl is sitting nice and level. Snapped a quick pic at the gas station with a full tank and the family loaded up, guess I won’t be needing air bags yet. Hope to hit a scale on the way home to get some weights.

Tossed in a couple of pics of the campground, this place is a gem!

Best advice I can offer is try to keep equal pressure on the mirror as your working it off. It will pop out, just kinda go easy. I had a 2013 previously and had to replace the same signal light. Shattered the mirror when I grabbed and pulled. Worst case is you break it and snap a new one in.

Installed the Titan 52 gallon fuel tank, dropping the old tank was easy. Installing the new one was a pain, it needs to be up almost all the way top hook up the lines and plug. If they had a extension line for each one would be great, just a few inches. The wiring for the plug is snug when putting it back in. Both straps needed to have a little bending done to make them fit the tank right. Still only took 4 hours to install from getting tools out to cleaning them up. Put 5 gallon to get me to the gas station then $224.00 to fill it up! My mileage will be increased between fill ups now. The DTE will not be right until it gets to where the 33 gallon tank would have been and I can live with that.

I think the gage can be made to read right with alfaobd or maybe even the dealership. Do a search on this site, I recall a post about it.

The gauge will read right after it gets down a little, the DTE is different. That part I am not worried about.
@flan is saying it doesn't need to be something you just live with. You can correct it with AlphaODB.

Here is a post. Buried in there somewhere.

Installed the Curt front hitch, model 31089. The instructions’ cutout dimensions for the air dam were way off. It had to be a lot wider and taller to clear the upper plate. Mine ended up at 2-1/2” tall x 4-1/8” wide. I think this also allows for a hitch pin to be more easily installed.

Going to look into a 4-bike rack to hang out front when towing travel trailer.

Has anyone put the AEV front bumper on their truck? I'm thinking of getting one and having it chromed to match the rest of the chrome on my new truck, didn't get the painted bumpers.

Wondering if anyone chromed it or had it painted body color. I’d like to see how it looks in person
I haven’t seen anybody do either. I am not sure how chrome is applied so I’m not sure if it’s possible or not.

A few people have done hide-a-winch in their stock bumpers so you could keep your chrome that way.

After seeing how expensive black lugs are, went this route and I have to say, I’m pretty happy. $20 in 22mm black plastic caps and I eliminated the only chrome/silver thing on my truck.

How difficult are those to remove? Just imagine getting a flat and having to spend 30 minutes trying to get those off.
