I almost clicked off when you threw the antenna into the field - I thought - did he just litter?! and then you saved it quick with the comment, don't litter. Trash on the trails kills me. Your 'don't litter' comment is why I subscribed. Thanks again for great ideas!

Hey thanks for watching! I appreciate it. Yeah no reason to litter. I want to make sure trails stay open for every one to enjoy. It was funny when I went to grab the antenna it actually took me a few minutes to find it haha. It was blending in

pull the drain plug from the frame and put it in the top of the floor mat. Dealers make this mistake too so if you get the mats from them, make sure you fix it before it warps your mats of they wont drain properly or itll push the plugs through the floor. Plugs ar $8 to replace, mats are $120. Mopar install directions outline this.
