    This thread is for Casadia owners 2022-25.
    What upgrades either mechanical or esthetic have you done to your truck?
    I've made a few myself and have a list as long as my leg!
    Looking to see what others have done to improve their FreightShaker.....and to get some ideas!

    I've done small things so far. Mostly interior to make it feel mire cozy like home. I have boxes ordered from Iowa80 at home that include chrome covers from dash clear to the radio. Clear amber marker lights at top of the cab with chrome bezels. Chrome mirror covers for all 4 mirrors.
    Next purchase is 6 new Alcoa's mirror polish and Centramatics for all 3 axles. Should have done that a month ago when she got virgin rubber all 10, Michelin X-Line. Could've saved a little.
    I'll post some pics of how she currently looks.

    I have a Next Gen.

    I like those watermelon lights.

    You already have nice wheels. Just stop at a polisher and have them do them up. Then, you just need a thin, liquid polish to maintain them. Thick stuff is for doing the work and thin stuff is for maintenance. I initially worked mine with a foam pad and a thick polish. I use Black Magic gel and the big, foam applicator Walmart sells. Always use nitrile gloves, too.

    Blue Beacon, a quick wipedown with Hoosier polish, and gelled up with Black Magic. Ready to ride with pride.
