Opened the BedRug up last night and laid it out in the garage to begin to unroll. This AM washed out the truck bed and dried it up good. I have the Ramboxes and although BedRug says no full bedliner, as another has posted on these boards, I’ll confirm that the 2018 RamBox BedRug I bought off Amazon seems to fit great.


It’s still finding itself in the bed so I haven’t secured the Velcro or cut the tie downs and bed lights thru yet. I’m parking it in the sun with the black tonneau over it and the gate closed to warm it up and let it expand. Should be perfect. I don’t see why BedRug doesn’t show this as a fit.

Just dropped her off at the shop for tint: SunTek CIR 30 for the fronts and CIR 80 for windshield, sun roof, rear doors and rear window. Should reduce the cabin heat here in Arizona and help protect the leather dash...

Did the tailgate seal you have come with the tonneau? And does it seal well?

I just had that done on Friday as well. Hoping that it will keep the wheels nice thru the Ohio winter (I HATE swapping seasonal wheels/tires).

I had a deal with my old dealer who owed me, so I got them half price. They are actually Chevy Avalanche rims, I had them on my last two Avalanches. Probably the best price I’ve seen online is here: https://www.finishlinewheels.com/CADILLAC/ESCALADE/2007/A-04617U85/

There may be other sources, but the one versions are quite expensive.
i to had a "Avalanche".i used it as a "trade In"fro the "ram".i had 22"on my.i kept the tires now from what your saying i can put them on my new ram.this is what they look like...

I'm replacing the butt ugly Rebel grill with the big horn grill, adding the 2" lift with fox shocks. still deciding on what running boards. I like the rino raptor running boards.
i didnt think that grill would fit.cause i have that "Hideous"looking grill also.do you have any pics?

Reading through this entire thread, and you guys have made me think long and hard about protecting the paint. I live in the northeast. Is it really worth it for the average person to go through the hours of labor to wax, etc to protect the paint? If so, is there any good reading about the best way to go about it? Thanks!
i may do the same.i live in the northeast as you:cry:

The tailgate seal....yea that’s a fail. It did not come with the tonneau. There is a seal across the back of the tonneau which seals relatively real. Problem is with RamBoxes the top corners are wide open. With the BedRug it’s too much bulk with the the seal I added at the corners and down the sides and the gate wouldn’t close right. (It closed and latched but it was not closed right and indicator on the dash stayed on). I have to rework the sealing at the corners. Still scratching my head a bit.
