I keep my door pocket lights dimmed down all the way. It bothers me to see all these lights in my peripheral vision at night. I even drive with my dash lights dimmed down at night. The only drawback is that the dome light don't come on when you open the door if they are dimmed down!.

Finally had a warm day to clean the daily. Hit the self-serve, then dried and went home. Used a spray wash from Griots Garage to clean the rest of the grime. Zaino AIO applied to the paint. Cleaned the windows and mirrors. Cleaned the wheels and tires with citrus purple power. Applied 303 Aerospace protectant to the inside dash, door panels, console, weatherstripping. Also took some Meguiars M105 compound to some scratches in the rear fascia.

Hi everyone. My wife and I are recently new owners of 2 2014 Journey sxt awd's. We bought my wife's first back in November. We traded in her 2011 Rav4, I hated that thing. She loves her car and I began to love it as well, so I decided to trade in my 2009 Pontiac Vibe GT for my own Journey. Both Journeys are identical except for the color. Hers is black and mine is the metallic orange color, not sure what it's called.

beautiful day yesterday. Did a bit of detailing.

$800??? That's a mortgage payment for me. Lol

The ebay ones posted above don't list out the specs, but they use a true HID bulb type and one of the projectors appears to be the Infinity Q45 projector. My guess without looking at the specs is that these are actually fairly nice replacements and possibly worth the large price tage as far as components go...

I know that my answer here isn't going to be a popular one but I was never fully happy with my Journey. When I purchased it I was in a hurry and I didn't do my research on them. I purchased it in June of 2013 and at that time I didn't even know that the newer ones had a much better motor and the interior was MUCH BETTER than the 2010. After a while I didn't like the way it shifted and it didn't have enough power for me. Also I have 2 teenaged kids and one 12 year old so I found that its a little tight for us. Im not saying that its a bad vehicle by any means but its just not for me. I LOVE the way they look though. I hope no ones takes this as me bashing on Journeys cause thats not what I'm trying to do at all. Who knows maybe in 2018 after the turbo model has been out for a couple years and one of my kids have gone on their own, I might get a new one but for now I have to stick with my new Acadia.

Goodbye everyone, I traded in my Journey for a 2009 GMC Acadia. It was fun talking to everyone here and Im gonna miss this forum.

Tint and Dodge hash marks done today

I have ran mine...

That was a 2010 with 3rd row and its awd.. Only mod was cai. And using 93octane. My tires are a size bigger than stock also which possibly hurts time+speed

I now have a custom borla exhaust setup from a srt4... Sounds very good, also probably a 50lb+ weight reduction.
Hopefully buying h&r lowering springs and a size under stock tire and gonna do some odd and ends weight reduction.. Spare tire and some things I've already taking off.... Wanna shoot for mid 15's

​I have 20x9 Viper Replicas with 275/40 tires and they don't stick out at all. I love they way they look. But like people here have said you can easily find the Jeep Replicas that will fit just fine.

As promised - putting a short video of lights. I made this video after I installed a light bar in the lower bumper part.

Well, I finally upgraded my 2014 SXT. I took out the 4.3s and installed the RE2 receiver, the 8.4" screen, the new bezel, and the lower stack. I also installed the factory backup camera as well. The receiver, screen, lower stack, and bezel were pretty straightforward and easy to install. '14 Charger receiver, '13 Journey screen, '14 Journey bezel, and '11? I think, lower stack. I included some pictures below of some things I hadn't seen others include as far as how to remove the trim and whatnot. My wife and I really enjoy the upgrade, makes the interior feel much less "base package" and more complete. I, like others, haven't fixed the temperature controls on the screen but I haven't given up yet. I've talked with guys from my dealer and realized they're not going to be much help as this is the first radio they have even unlocked. Thanks to this forum I had more information than they did. I've talked with Uconnect who did not have info for me, and talked with Dodge corporate and they referred me to a larger dealer in the area but I haven't gotten a hold of them yet.
I played with the controls and found that when I "sync" the temps, the front and back hvac behave as one. That's nice as we have small kids in the back. If the knobs in the back are turned then the sync is broken and the rear acts independently. It also seems that even though the sliders on the climate screen maintain the nefarious "22 degrees" mark, if you slide them up or down it seems to lock that temperature in even though the slider moves back to the middle a few seconds later. The satellite radio still worked fine, so the free subscription apparently didn't get kicked back.
The dealer charged me for 1 hour labor for the combined unlock code and flashing the backup camera. Like I said above, this was the first one they've done. I had all the info they needed (even though they didn't know they needed it) thanks to this forum.
I bought the backup camera from the dealer (they were able to have it the next day). It came with detailed instructions that, at times, were not completely accurate as it was written in 2011. It was pretty involved to install - let's say it's not for the faint of heart. I took some pictures of that process that I've included below as well. You really do have to remove quite a bit of trim and one of the rear seats (If you have the third row). It's definitely doable if you're handy though, and I learned a lot about the car while doing it. I fished the wires a couple of times so that is one thing I would recommend if you're planning on doing it. My wife and I REALLY enjoy having it. The blind spot behind the car is especially bad without the camera if you have a car seat in the third row.
I couldn't figure out how to insert larger pictures....

Got back from the dealer, they told me it was the antenna, they said they realigned it and tightened it up, we will see next time it rains.

Here you go with the pictures:



Let me know if need more pictures. It is not a dummy chippo, this is an antenna, so I didn't lose radio. Installs on an adhesive over the stock antenna base with one scree to connect to the vehicle. I got mine custom painted to match the vehicle, love the look

Those guys can custom paint to match your paint code, maybe other sources available so far. I don't have any relations to the company, just got a quality product from them. It took a while, though - about 2 months from order to shipment.

Hey lobitz68, I removed the whole grill out and the chrome crosshair off of the black grill. taped off the the black grill so just the center was dipped. Never sprayed the honeycomb section or the Dodge symbol. And reassembled everything back dipped.
