What is everyone using for ceramic coating their truck and how big of a job is it?
What did you do to your AT4 today?

Ceramic is 100% worth it. Proper prep is required first, but it's a game changer for those of us with vehicle OCD.

I used Chemical Guys Hydro Slick... but the prep work is where it's at. What you need to use for prep really depends on the level paint correction needed. Basic items will include clay bar, polish, paint corrector, cutting disc, applicator, ceramic coat. Took me about 4-5 hours to complete my truck, and it was brand new so not a lot of paint correction needed.
Here is a good write up:

Did you ever install the AMP power steps? If so, how do you like them? Did you take a hit on your fuel milage with the pedal commander? No can do the front window tint. It's illegal here in NY.

Switch off the engine incl door closing and wait a few minutes, before hooking up trailer. Then re-enter the car and start. Hooking up with running engine never worked solar by me.
I switched to Elevation rims on my new 2023 1500 AT4 when it was at the dealership still. I like the black wheels more than the originals. Would have liked to had the option when I ordered it, or the Carbon Pro Argent colored wheels are sharp as well. I had BFG AT's put on as well, 295/60/20. They rub slightly when full turn, but I can live with it. I was happy to be able to get the trailer tow mirrors factory installed and have it built without all the missing microchips that my 2022 had. Only thing not installed was a steering wheel lock, which I do not really care about anyway.

Had the door sill protectors for a while, added the matching padded seat belt sleeve recently. Super comfortable. Also added the red sleeves for the dash knobs. One of the 2 climate knobs didn't fit, so I chucked it up on the lathe and removed about .015 to get it to fit. Adds a little color to the dash.

Had my film guy install PPF on the A, B & C pillars where the gloss black was already showing scratches and wear with less than 6k miles. It really makes a big difference, looks better than it did when it was brand new.
Also installed the matte screen protector...highly recommend doing both.

What's the offset on those Black Rhino wheels? Great set up
Replaced the Bose speakers with Audiofrog GS25 in the dash, Focal ICU690 in the front doors, and Focal 165AC in the rears. I also Damplified the four doors with Damplifier Pro. Took about 7 hours and the sound is so much better. At some point I may look into an amp but I am happy at the moment.
