Mine didn’t fit well using the double sided tape, so I removed the tape and stuck them on with silicone adhesive.
I am giving it one more try I ordered some from American Truck. Built differently and the fit looks better on the pictures of the trucks? :) We shall see. Bed step in finally on the way too.

The Bed Step that fits the 24s does NOT work on the 25s. I could get it to mount on the two bolts but there were very little threads left, the whole bracket just barely cleared the fender lining, and when the step was retracted it would slam on the underneath of the fender. The whole bracket assembly needs to be shortened and the bedstep piece needs to be reworked to give it (the step) another 1 1/2 clearance on the underneath where it retracts upward. Close but no cigar. I was soooo hoping it was going to work but it did not so shipping it back. We tried but it just would not fit, we even tried flipping around pieces but that was definitely a no go!!!:). Now the wait begins which is just part of the deal when purchasing a new model year vehicle!:)

Saw these door sill protectors, in another member’s thread, Really liked them. Ordered a set and really pleased with them.

Priced reasonably, shipped quickly. And really easy a to install.

Will order a set for our Durango later today.

The new door latch covers/protectors came in. I ordered the RedRock ones from American Trucks. These are plastic, I guess I did not read that part. The first one I tried broke, so,,,,, I was much more careful with the other ones. Now I had to get another set. When I first ordered these I was sent a throttle body spacer!? After getting that all straightened out they shipped the right ones. I called about the broken one and they were nice enough to send me out four more. They also gave me 3 ten dollar certificates for the troubles of the original order. I really like these they are gloss black and snap into place and fit very nicely. I’ll post a picture this weekend.


After looking at them I like them now even more. The fit is perfect and they snap into place. Nice shiney gloss black and they add the little bit of color in this very white truck:)
I put the rest on carefully by getting the top first by bending the top flap outward and pressing inward, the bottom gets past the latch first and then it all presses on right as rain! I think they look nice! Bright and Shiney!!:)

Got some oil, already have a ton of RP 20-820s

Waiting on a thermostat and some coolant and we'll be having fun soon!

Ordered some black emblems from Benny too. Hope they come in soon so I can ditch some of this chrome stuff.

Took the truck in to have PPF put on the door edges and the handle cups. Next in the near future will be PPF on the partial hood, under headlights, full front bumper, and mirrors. Then that should be it. Not bad for mods considering the truck come well equipped. :)
