Must have first mods???

Just purchased a 2026 RHO. Thinking about going ahead and ordering tuner, intake and leveling kit. What are some things you wish you would have done sooner?

Also, what the actual gains are people getting with intake and tune?
Big brakes. Alcon fit the stocked wheels
 
FWIW, love my Roar Pedal. Works flawlessly and does not create a parasitic drain on the battery. There have been complaints about their customer service, I can’t comment because mine works fine.

Ark mini splash guards are cool. Not the best for full rock protection but work well enough if you have the Mopar off road running boards, and they look good (IMHO).
 
If you go tuner I'd go Cat6 because it has the throttle controller. If you don't go tuner, I'd get the Roar Pedal throttle controller.

Wouldn't bother with the intake, zero gains and from what I've heard- not much of a noticeable sound increase. I don't have experience personally though.

I can't stress throttle controller enough. Makes the truck feel like an entire different animal. There's a bunch of us running the Roar and as far as I know everyone loves it. I drove without it on one day (after having it on for while) and it felt like torture lol.

The only mods I have are an exhaust and throttle controller, but in combination they've completely transformed the truck.

A bunch of other people can chime in about tuners, and there's also big threads specific to both the Cat6 and Jb4 that are worth a read. There's talks about a Mopar tuner coming out but that's a lonngggg story 😂


EDIT: A battery powered jump starter, lol
I believe you but it’s hard to imagine. I feel like this thing is so responsive.

Like I feel like I don’t have to give her much and I definitely don’t have to mash the gas pedal to pass people (but of course I do). I can’t imagine needing any more pedal sensitivity. And this is stock no tuner.
 
+1 to this. Worth mentioning, it does vibrate a tiny bit so that could drive certain people nuts. It' no fault of Bulletpoint though, it's just where it mounts. It's an extremely well made product (made in the USA too IIRC). Use mine every day.
+ another! Do buy the cushion kit (not sure what they call it), but it eliminates the rattle. I added the wireless charging / auto open / close, whatever its called - mount and the USB charger plug as well. It charges WAY faster than the stock wireless (useless) charger.

First thing I did was window tint (made it part of the purchase deal)

Personally, I did the following:
- Bed cover
- Bulletpoint
- Eibach front coils (hated the nose dive look)
- Cat6
- Intake tube
- ADD rear bumper
- AMP bed extender

I'm looking at wheels now, once I find something that looks better than the OE beadlocks, then I'll replace the OE sidesteps with retractable and then..... ADD front bumper. Maybe an exhaust after I hear one in person.

Thanks for sharing, I didn't know they had a cushion kit. I'll check that out. I also want to get the MagSafe charging mount.

Which intake tube did you go with? What do you like about it?

I bought mine from Granger Performance. They have a mount for the coolant tube included and they are local. Its a little less expensive too (~$50). You can hear the turbos a little better and the "seat of the pants" dyno says it adds a little better performance. :)

I had to go look at mine. They do have 2 items that will help, I ended up using the cable management kit, they worked great for keeping the cable clean and it worked as a bushing to kill the rattle. They also have "height-adjustable" support add on, I didn't like it and just sat it lower, with the the cable management rubber thing - it work great!

I know i will get a lot of backlash for this but save $100 for something else and just push the button. It really isn't that hard to do, are we really that lazy?
Yes and I love it

I wasted a good amount of money on aftermarket garbage for this truck, but spending money to eliminate it when I can hit the button for free, doesn’t register for me. But then again, I am a peasant with a base model. 🤷🏻‍♂️ 😂
Hey....I don't have a peasant base model and I won't spend money on the auto-stop eliminator. Don't get me wrong...I'm good about spending money on dumb shit...but....I'll just save my $100 for the one time I decide to go to a strip club and keep pushing the button.

And I've never been to a strip club so.....

I didn't drive my truck today, so I had to get creative.. The cable management kit are soft rubber and wrap around the extension. if you have the Bulletpoint set to angle where the rod rest on the dash and use the cable management kit, between the dash and the Bulletpoint rod, it works as a damper. No rattle, no vibration.

** This is not the angle I have mine mounted, min sits right on the dash bezel.

oh ok, understand now you are saying the rod is vibrating off the dash. but from the looks of it if i set it at an angle i shouldnt even have an issue. i appreciate you taking some photos!
