cskmom Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) So as promised in another thread, here is a sneak peek of the DJ I'll be picking up on Saturday. I stopped at the dealership today on my way home from work in this crazy snow storm we are having, to go over some paperwork and familiarity with the car Enjoy the pics...mud flaps are on, hood bug deflector, and cargo mat.

rolly Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Looks good! Hopefully the weather will be nice when you pick it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cskmom Posted March 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Thanks everyone...I do hope the weather is nice too for Saturday, as I plan to take it for it's first road trip with my son to Syracuse. Looking at the front....is it possible to add FOG LIGHTS to the car, what brand and where from? The dealer is already charging me ridiculous prices for stuff I'll be getting my rear hitch from the couple of places recommended so far. The one place delivers to Canada, and if I find cheaper, I can always get a free shipping to my US shipping address at the closest border town Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journeyman425 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 You must be so psyched! Best of luck with it and keep the pictures coming! Make sure they replace the missing center cap on the driver's side front wheel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure they replace the missing center cap on the driver's side front wheel! What "center cap"? Just realised that if you look at the front bumper, you can see the reflection of my legs taking the pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journeyman425 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) What "center cap"? In the dead center of the wheel, there is a hole which centers the wheel on the hub. The hole is normally concealed with a cap. In the picture, it looks to me like the cap is missing and there's a little snow accumulating in the bottom of the hole. The caps should be on all four wheels when you take delivery. Hard to tell but I think it's in place on the driver's side rear wheel.

2013R/T Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Are the 14's front redesigned? i think just a little right?? Looks nice by the way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmttoxics Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Are the 14's front redesigned? i think just a little right?? Looks nice by the way... No that is actually the older style front end. Some of the current models still get some of the older pieces it seems (bumpers, tail lights). Have a look at the different model styles on dodge.com or dodge.ca to see what I mean.

jkeaton Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 (edited) You can add your own aftermarket fog lights if your good at that sort of thing (cutting holes, wiring in, etc). If you want OEM,you gotta pay to play. Even if you did manage to get the housings and switch, the dealer will still have to "turn them on" via the starscan tool and charge you for it as well.

Journeyman425 Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Are the 14's front redesigned? i think just a little right?? Looks nice by the way... The AVP and SE use a different front fascia than SXT, Limited and R/T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) Tw Hmmmm...so what is/are my other options? I am trying to avoid the blood sucking leech dealer.... Don't say just drive like that :-) Two choices: 1) Buy the OEM foglight housings and new headlight switch (I assume the things in there would just pop out or unscrew to mount OEM housings), I believe the wiring is already there, they usually run wiring for all options even if not equipped. Install the parts and have the dealer enable them through the PCM. I'm afraid these parts woud be dealer only at this time. Heres a link that says it's a complete kit, same as production. I will leave it up to you to find out the details. It's not a bad price reallyif it includes everything: http://www.mopar.com/part/82212789AB?s=362351&i=2206248&b=dodge 2) Buy some aftermarket fog light kit and wire them in yourself with a separate switch.

cskmom Posted March 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Good afternoon everyone....hope your weekend is going smoothly and the weather is cooperating where you are? Pick up the car this morning and immediately drove it to get tinting done. I am not particularly happy with the finished product, and I think the guy was just trying to go home quickly that he rushed it. I asked for a 20% in front and 15% at the back. I can still see into the car clearly in front, and the back that is supposed to be 15% is so visible from a distance. He claimed he used ultra guard or something like that. I needed the back to be dark that you COULDN'T see into unless you put your face to the window. I am going to have to get it redone Anyway....here are the pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cskmom Posted March 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 So am getting the windows at the back redone today...I just couldn't live with it all weekend long and it bugged me. I also ordered a rear view mirror replacement backup camera, and purchased a hitch from hitchdepot that will get installed next week.

cskmom Posted October 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Hello folks.....update to this car Canadian Value Package - Had another driver go into the side of me last December. I haven't fixed the driver side (mid way / bottom part) door yet For Winter Tires......what size options do I have to replace the tires in the pics for Winter driving? 17" are expensive and I don't want to spend a lot of money as I am on a budget. - If I was to buy just two for now, where should the 2 be installed? Thanks dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtsr Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 After late 2012 early 2013 the DJ aquired larger front rotors and I believe that was for all models including the CVP so I would say your stuck with 17" rims. If your going with snow tires and don't/can't buy 4 then I personally would put them on the front for traction and put the best of the all seasons you have on the rear. Have you tried used tire sources? dhh3 and jkeaton 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) You can't go smaller than 17" due to clearance issues with the front rotors. Check with your local tire store for options. Maybe they have some used ones as mentioned. If you buy only two, the should be installed on the driven wheels for maximum traction.
