Installing Upper Glove Box in Tradesman

anyone know if that bighorn logo is a stick on? i'd be tempted to do this one, with no gap and no ridiculous bighorn logo.

I am searching for a lonestar one and will try to plastidip it.

View attachment 10543i think it's too late for me I need to seek help, I should have bought a laramie but the price tag scared me.

What splash/mud guards you got ?

Does anyone know if the upper glovebox can be sourced from a 1500?

Stop at a stealer that has a lonestar get the VIN and have the parts guy look up the one you want.

What splash/mud guards you got ?

They are the Mopar oem mudflaps. They are real nice about 1/2" thick rubber and molded to the body.

Found an upper glovebox from a Lone Star decently priced on Ebay. Ordered the lower trim piece (6YK21TX7AA), but it is on national backorder. So I ordered 6YK22TX7AA as suggested above. I will provide some pics when I get the parts in.

has anyone installed or know if you can install an upper glove box in a Tradesman?

I just did it, its easy peazy!

Interesting, you can find the upper glove box assembly easy enough (it will have bighorn, Laramie, etc. on it) but I have not factored that you potentially need to change out the air vent.
My 2021 Tradesman will not be here for another month to start monkeying with this

I just did the install, you do not have to change anything with the air vent.

Can anyone confirm the lightning harness is plug and play ?

 

[Chrisminx]

I could not find the connector.

I have a Lone Star but my trim level did not get the upper door. What is the part number needed for Lone Star door? Is it just 1 part # needed?

I got my light working. Behind the metal bar (far right side of radio area where it would basically be where the glove box area starts) there was a connector just chilling with about 6 wires in it. I tapped into the red wire for power and black for ground and use 2 female ends. I bent the prongs on the glove box plug and slide the ends on (wrapped them in electric tape) and carefully put it all back. I’d like to find what factory plug goes in and maybe pin the 2 wires to it for a cleaner install. Not like you see it anyways but hey it works.

Purchased a used upper glovebox off an HD Laramie. Anyone know what these two connectors are for? @Jimmy07

It’s the WiFi/Bluetooth antenna for the 8.4 with nav and 12” radios. Only the green connector would be used.

Changing out the one from the Lone Star?

 

[Chrisminx]

I bought it a while back because the lone star one was from a 1500 and I thought maybe they are a different size because of the small gap under the door and the Laramie one has the light attached. I couldn't find the connections behind the dash for the light, so I may sell the Laramie one.

Great work on this, thanks. Did this to my 4th gen and thankful that the leg work has been done. Now, when I get my truck, I need to not break or lose the tabs. I read the tab watchout, thanks for that. Love to see some more pictures from others. Lonestar, Laramie or BigHorn, which one should I get?
