List of Mods:
-Debadged
-Caliper Covers
-Black lug nuts (not chrome!)
-Plasti-dipped tail lights
-Plasti-dipped some trim
-Racing stripes with hand-done red pinstriping

I'm going to take off racing stripes I think, maybe do black hood like new SEMA DURANGO photos

 

How did you figure out how to pull the door trim pieces?

 

Plasti dipped the front grill. Not perfect but good for $25!!

 

I modified my BT oil catch can by drilling a hole in the bottom of the tank and tapping threads and installing a pipe nipple and ran a hose down to behind the bumper so now I just reach under there and open the valve at the end of the hose and drain it. I have a similar system on my G8 and it's awesome! The other plus is the hose pretty much doubles its capacity which after seeing what it had in it with less than 3000 miles on it, is a good thing.

I just had Penn Platinum put in it on Wednesday so 7500 miles from now, it'll get changed.

 

Cleaned up the inside of the Durango today, crazy how much crap two girls 4 and 10 make in the back .. ughhhhh.

 

It gets worse with age. I have 2 my age that seem to trash out a car like its a garbage truck. Wait till they get makeup, I have ZERO drawers in the house that don't have at-least one of those colored pencil eye thingies in it or hair ties. Thankfully they leave me the garage and polebarn.

 

Fabricated some subtle splash guards out of polycarbonate sheet and installed them this weekend.

 

Finally got my backup camera installed. Next mod will be to upgrade to the 8.4 display.

That must be stock since the button on the right says climate, what do they call that? All the loaners and cars on the lot here have the Uconnect 8.4 with and without Nav. The bezel have a "storage pocket" where the extra room is?

 

Debadged the rear. Then tinted the sunstrip area on the windshield. And finally added the red starter button. Now, to save up for the SRT steering wheel..........

 

I finally got the time to remove my Rocky Mountain lift from my 2015. It came installed when I purchased it last month. The lift road well and looked great, if you intended to put on larger tires to match, but I didn't have the desire to go that direction. Removing the 2.5" lift was more of a dramatic change than I thought it would be. It consisted of, no only the lift spacers in the kit but, the upgraded Upper Control Arms (UCAs) that come with the removable Moog upper ball joints. I'm going to be cleaning up the parts and posting them for sale shortly, but love the transition back to the lower ride height so far!

Here is a before picture, and here is the ride height in the garage last night...

Now it's time to get the black lug nuts.

 

I didn't know they had lifts for these. What are people fitting, 33s?

 

I think it does fit 33's. There are a few threads about these durangos lifted. It was nice but just not what I wanted. I'm planning to sell it now that it's off.

I agree. The R/T's look better lower.

Having recently gotten my '15 D, I sourced out some Jeep Wrangler wheels and winter tires;

Couldn't have any chrome on my Rallye D so aranthracite grey Plasti-Dip time;

I'm VERY happy with the end result;

And this particular model of Wrangler wheel has LOTS of clearance from spoke to caliper compared to others.

 

Those look great!

Cleaned out the catch can today, it was about the consistency of apple butter and I had to scrape it out, which is weird because it has the same Royal Purple 5W20 in it that my Ram does, like some of it is from the same 5qt jug. It got pretty cold last night, but the Ram was parked outside and the CC contents flowed into my used oil jug; The Durango is always in the garage so it would have been warmer and even after putting it on the counter for 5 min inside it was all gelled in the bottom of the can.

Maybe its residual from whatever garbage the previous owner probably put in it.

 

Thoughts... plastidiped the chrome trim on one side to see how it looked. Thinking about keeping it chrome unless I dip the wheels too

I like it. I would personally keep it. Chrome adds some nice accents but the dip makes it all blend together nicely

 

When I wrecked it I changed the front to blacked out [emoji1]
