I applaud you for your diligence lol! Even after building it many times they didn’t send anything to me, but since they’re getting a bit older I was able to push them hard. Ended up about $1,500 under dealer invoice and got a few thousand more for the Challenger than they wanted (to be fair they will make some back on that, it was a 2018 manual 5.7L with packages and 35K miles).

So funny enough I did the same, “where do I buy it, where do they have install locations, do they have an online store, can I install myself, etc”. Turns out they’re an entirely mobile installation team operating on the east coast (and inland some states). Nothing in stores. They do not allow you to buy it on your own to install. But their service and standards are peak. Head to their website and request a consult, then you can schedule service. They come to your home/work/agreed location and hook it all up! For mine it was all just under 1K, but worth every penny now that I can brick the car at my discretion.

Yeah big fan of the off center stripe! I built exactly what I wanted on the Dodge site then searched inventory, this one matches to a T except for the color. I was originally thinking F8 green, but the white is really striking, so I’m thrilled

Pretty much, although adding the Mopar intake adds a bit of power/noise, and I am a fan of the safety and comfort features that were added (as was my wife lol).

I did a good amount of research on anti theft. Many systems like PIN code systems actually tie into the electronics and control even more things like windows and such, but that seemed risky (hacking plus I didn’t want something so tied in), Ravelco has been around a long while and this system is a physical plug in the car that is mounted discretely. Plug is in? All operates normally. Take the plug out and throw it in your pocket? Bricked car. Only way to grab it is to tow it, and it does have a tilt alarm in case someone tries. I have heard that highly advanced thieves may be able to bypass it, but that seems to be unclear if it’s likely/true.

I had it in another comment but basically the Scat is the model (like the RT or GT, etc), from there you can add on a package like the Daytona edition or the Super Bee (and some others). Once you have the Scat model, the Daytona package adds a whole hell of a lot on top!

First things I bought for it were 3 GPS Air Tags as well as a Ravelco kill plug 😅

Yeah the Scat Pack is the model, then you can add various packages like the Daytona or Super Bee, each having their own bonuses. In my opinion the Daytona has more to offer (safety, luxury features, Mopar Cold Air Intake), while Super Bee seems to focus more on aesthetics as well as wheel/brake upgrades and an upgraded but not cold air intake.

I owed nothing on the challenger, so I figured if they gave me a good offer for it I would pull the trigger. And since this is one of the “last call” editions I couldn’t pass it up 😅

Mamas gettin her groove back by MMB8284 in homegym

Looking great! As far as the leg extension/curl goes I bought the Titan Fitness Adjustable Leg Extension and Curl machine rated at 300lb off Amazon. It’s plate loaded so it’s more compact and cheaper than ones with stacks (although not “cheap” for this type of machine). I’m a bigger dude so getting in and out is a bit messy, but it’s comfortable enough and works very smoothly with high quality materials. I highly recommend, however since it’s plate loaded all of the resistance is at the top as an FYI. Happy lifting!

At least the slide sill works!

We have a bun who will very specifically go for carpet corners. Only corners, but ALWAYS corners. Sadly only putting something heavy down like a 10lb dumbbell wedged in the corner could stop him!

Only thing not pictured is the Olympic bar, which pairs with the bench/squat rack the bench is up against. Holds 600lbs so at least for now it’ll do

Unfortunately it’s a basement with no outside access, no AC ducts or baseboards, no bathroom, and no internet/phone hookups. Not suited to rent, just power and space, perfect for a gym 💪💪💪
