What did you do to your WL today?

[blaster9]

What tint level did you put on the windows?

Removed factory tint on front windows and installed 15%. Then we added 22% on top of factory tint to the rears doors, 3rd row windows, and back hatch window (22% on top of 20% equates to around 12% if im not mistaken so slightly darker than front windows) Sunroof was tinted with 15% like the front windows. I dont have to shut my sunroof visor anymore as it keeps a ton of heat out.

Honestly, I will be forever grateful if you could snap some pics of where you cut (perhaps from inside & outside vantage point so I can gauge where to cut) because this is at the tippy top of my list but dont want to botch the job. You did a great job btw.

Below are some pictures and measurement's. I cut it from the inside with my Dremel and put painters tape on the painted side. I may get some door moldings to put around the hole.
I left a little room on the bottom so I could get the trim piece on easily. As you can see by the measurements I was a little off center. You can adjust. I also looked up the price of the part in case I messed up and it was $47.00 unpainted I assume.

I din't think there was any tint on the front door windows or the windshield from the factory......

There’s never been tint on the front windows of any of my vehicles either (save this one).

Installed catch can from wife’s 3.6l WK2. Believe it or not, theres a threaded hole in the crash bar tailor made for it haha. Never get this lucky! And yes its filling up quickly as all pentastars ive seen.

Pretty much charged it, darn battery is discharging itself. Taking it to a dealership to troubleshoot. I do not want to mess with it. I am wondering if anyone else having an issue with dead batteries?

 

[blaster9]

Thanks to KySummit, i took a stab at it tn! Will get weather strip tmrw to clean it up. Wish they made these from the factory but this will do just fine.

Some door trim added.

Mopar crossbars, Mopar (Thule) 624 cargo box, Ceramic tint (30 front 20 backdoors and around).

 

[blaster9]

Looks good. How loud is the Thule box and how many MPGs do you think you are losing? I actually found your Mopar cross bar set up to be incredibly quiet compared to other far more streamlined setups ive had in the past so im curious how much louder it gets w/the box

Catch can???? What does that do?

Well done that looks very clean - might try and do this too...taking that big panel on and off is a pain compared to my Expedition it snapped in and out cleanly without the wing nuts and everything.

Sounds like it is right up there with a blinker fluid reservoir

 

[TorrWL]

Swapped bumper with no receiver for bumper with receiver then dealership called to refund me the bumper cost because I was lied to and said it couldn’t be added. They are paying for the factory wiring and installing it for me as well.

Out of the 15+ vehicles I've installed catch cans on (including several supercharged & turbo'd trucks/cars), the V6 Pentastar fills the catch can like no other vehicle I've seen, and that was consistent across 3 WK2s and the new L. Couldnt tell you why other than potentially loose tolerances. Either way, once you put it on, you'll be happy that crap isnt going back into your intake manifold and gumming up the works.

Just watched a YouTube on these things, I can’t believe the amount of junk stuck in there. Any concerns about voiding warranty? I know the cans can be removed if need be.
