    Wife just bought a new 2015 Trailhawk in Yellow, plain-jane as much as possible, only "option" on the window sticker was the black hood decal. At least we got the aluminum matching spare!

    I'm considering some minor modifications, but nothing that hurts fuel economy, so probably more rocker protection and exhaust protection. Maybe remote oil filter adapter and quick-drain valve for the oil pan.

    We're considering rearranging the lights, making a mild change to the garage door, and removing the rails from the roof of the vehicle. Also considering moving the air duct so I have more room, my other vehicles fit but friends' vehicles have been a bit tight.

    What are those little things hanging down from the frame? They're kind of annoying when trying to put it up on the lift, makes it harder to find a good perch.

    I have a question. Random. Does your exhaust pipe, where it hangs under the control arm, have a dent in it? Mine is squished at the top of the pipe, under the arm. I'm just wondering if everyone's is like that. I just noticed it yesterday....

    I have no idea. When I'm on the computer that has all of the rest of the pictures from this lil photo shoot I'll have to take a look.

    We've only had it about a week and a half.

    The hot part.

    Suffice it to say, don't be surprised by the yellow Trailhawk driving around...

    Depends on the prevailing winds.
