• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Nice job! Info on the set screws on the underside of your hitch. One of mine ran away! I replaced it with a hex bolt, tighted them then painted one flat with white marking paint, so as to keep an eye on them. Ride on.

Based on what I see in your pic, and on my experience, I would recommend you cut at least 1", and maybe 2", off the bottom of the flap. Why? If you back over a typical gutter curve that is often used in residential areas you'll catch the flap between the pavement and tire and rip if right off. I did it twice, once on my 2013 RT, and once on my 2014 RTS. Both times the flap was made from rubber cushion mat from a local farm and garden store so it just tore apart and didn't hurt the fender. Your flap looks like it may be stout enough that if it gets caught it might rip the bolts right out of your fender. My current mud flap is 5" above the floor. The ones that got caught and torn off were about 3" above the floor.

Here's the curb where they got caught, one while I was backing in off the street and the other while backing off the driveway.
