Just a tip of advice: clean the painted surfaces first and also add some blue masking tape to prevent scratches. Same for front. Thanks for posting this step by step because a lot of Challenger owners have no idea how to take it off 🫡
for sure. I wouldn't mind pulling the rear off when needed, whereas I now dread having to remove the front one, which I have to do eventually to fix the loose bolt/nut in one of those tight spots you can't see.
@@Scavenger1320been trying to find an early Drag Pak, but man are they hard to come by. One recently sold at a Mecum auction down in Florida. The 1320 is the next best thing.
@@PatrickReagan definitely not a lot of Drag Paks made. I feel like I just recently seen one up for sale but it may have been the same one at Mecum that you're referring to.
The electrical connector you removed at 10:10, is that for the ParkSense Sensors? I just got my car back from a body shop after being rear-ended and I have a message on the console of my 2018 SXT Plus that says mine need to be serviced. But it only happens when the car warms up. I am hoping it might just be loose or something. I found this video after hours of searching hoping that it would help me locate the wiring for those.
That connector is for both the rear park sensors and the side marker lights in the bumper. That's weird that it comes on after the car gets warmed up, I'm not sure how that would affect the wiring, unless it's actually just a time issue that just coincides with around the time it takes to get warmed up. Either way checking the connector is definitely a good place to start, and easy. Hope it gets figured out. The shop should at least look into it, being it's from a rear-ender I can't see how it wouldn't be related being its the rear sensors
Just weight reduction. Performance is all just a measure of power to weight. Most people focus on the power side, others, like me, put an emphasis on the weight side of the equation. With the rear support, the stock one is also aluminum, sure it's thicker aluminum, but if it were integral to crash safety they'd have made it out of High Strength Steel instead. The rear support/impact bar is really more for absorbing light and low speed impacts.
I never got motion sickness in my 67 years of life until I watched this!
Glad I could help you experience something new!

Great work! We learn as we go!
Thanks for the new content!
thanks for watching!
Seems a bit easier than the front fascia, and those darn 10mm nuts that are deep into a tight spot!

@@Scavenger1320yes, probably. The 2011 w/ Viper engine

Good video every informative
thanks for watching!
Hello bro, very good video, could you please post the link to rear bumper support? I would like to install it on my Challenger, thank you.
I have all the info in this vid here: th-cam.com/video/G2nEXcCNd5E/w-d-xo.htmlsi=rpd8SUULaMaCopBA
what are those light weight bumper support for? wont that make the car weaker if anyone gits it?
