Upper Glove Box Install?

[James1]

I'm a First Genner from way back, buy my wife demanded more reliability and safety so earlier this year I picked up a 2017 Tradesman CTD 2500 crewcab. Do the fancier Fourth Gen trucks come with two glove boxes? If so has anyone installed an OEM upper glove box (in the place of what's now an empty bin above my existing glove box)?

TIA.

I added the part a while back on my’18. Pricey for what it is, but looks better and keeps items out of sight with the door. Took about 10-15 minutes to install.

That's great; thank you for the link.

Is any cutting involved? If so, does the kit come with instructions?

Thanks again,

No cutting or drilling.

I have a 2013 2500 Tradesman and also added the upper glove box - simple as noted above.
I also installed an overhead console with the LED map lights. You must cut a hole in the headliner and run a few wires. There's a number of DIY postings on that on the Interweb thing with the parts list and instructions.
I also installed a Gentex day/night mirror with compass and outside temperature at the same time. Again, there's a number of DIY posts on the web for that, also. You'll need to glue a mirror mount keystone on the windshield since the Ram has a lousy proprietary factory mount. Adding the mount was a lot simpler that buying an overpriced adapter thingee.
