That's a great look. Have you done a write up yet?

With a little cutting these things will fit, I can write-up how I did it if people are interested.

Still like to know more about the 2011 Tailgate Keeper (aka Check Strap, Part# 4589890AC) and if it's possible to retrofit onto a 2009 (w/infinity sub). Would I need to replace the sub enclosure too? Or could I just hack into the one I've got?

I have the check strap, I found it online for $26. I have not tried to install yet but I did asses the situation.

It looks like it is going to require cutting of the tub behind the sub. I do not see this working with the 07-10 sub. You will need a 2011 enclosure to really make it retrofittable.

What I need now is to see a 2011 with the sub and carpet pulled out to see exactly how it mounts up to the tub.

How difficult would it be to relocate the sub a few more inches into the trunk, and just have the check strap go through the carpet and into the tub?

Looks good, thanks for the update on the tray, I just received mine today.

Another UPDATE; I can confirm that the 2011 console can be completely retrofitted for those that want the padded lid.
The main console body can easily be color-matched with mopar interior paint swell.
