Mod Day...Victron, Flaps, Def Door

Getting ready to head out tomorrow so I wanted to do some mods prior to the trip.
1) Duraflap front mudflaps
2) Def Door Latch
3) Victron battery monitor w/ Bluetooth.

The Dura flaps install only took about 20 minutes. They are a drill free design and simply bolt on. They look good and they quality is excellent. I ordered the largest size, 14" extra long.

Def door fix took only about 15 minutes. Hardest part is cutting a new slice for the metal lock.

The Victron install took a few hours. The shunt in not weather proof so I installed a 6x6 electrical box to the underside of the battery compartment. Once it was installed i siliconed any voids around the cable entry points to prevent any moisture from getting in. I wanted the gauge inside so fishing the data cable took some patience as well. Once installed it all worked as advertised. Next mod is the Kelderman front airbags.

nice work. I feel guilty that I havent done any mods since Fall. I think you gave me some motivation to get rolling on 2019 changes/upgrades. Enjoy your trip.

Someone on here found some MOPAR RAM Logo flaps (last fall?) at a reasonable price you may consider. Do a search for the link.
