Returning Ram Owner and Excited to be here!

[natew51]

I'm returning to truck life after selling my 2013 Ram Sport (Lucile) and taking a two year hiatus from RAM ownership and couldn't be happier. On Wednesday I picked up a '19 RAM Limited (Betty) in Ivory Tri Coat and 22" wheels. However she won't be staying factory for long. Here are the items rec'd or on order this far.

- Color matched mirror caps
- Black hood bezels
- Black RAM door logo's
- Black RAM head tailgate emblem
- Revel Links
- Daystar Spacers
- Ordering wheels wrapped in 33 x 12.5 Nitto Ridge Grapplers this week once I determine the wheel.
- Window surrounds will be wrapped in black and front windows tinted.
- Chrome door runners and remaining chrome lettering on tailgate will be removed.
- Still trying to figure out how to color match the grill....harder than it looks.

Can't wait to complete the truck and will post pictures at that time. Looking forward to meeting everyone!

welcome (back)! Keep us posted on the mods. Go grab this extra rebate (no strings) to use towards some of that

Make sure you go file for this additional rebate. Seems like they have been having problems with vin numbers being in the system so you have to call them so they send you the actual app. Do it within 60 days of purchase. Many of us have already received our checks. No strings attached.

The only qualification is that “someone in your household” must have a non-FCA vehicle.

Color me stupid, but where did you find the black emblems/ color match mirror caps I'm trying to delete as much of the chrome as I can, Also do you know if removing the door runners will leave holes?

Sorry for the late reply...I thought I would get an email notification or something...didnt realize I would need to come back and check.

The black letters are all OE Mopar. Best deal I found was on eBay through a dealer that sells on there. It is Avondale Dodge Jeep RAM in Avondale AZ. They have been great to work with!

Hit submit too quick. Mirror caps also came from Avondale. Have to remove mirror glass to change them. Busted the passenger mirror which I'm told is super common. Bought one of those from Avondale as well....argh!

No holes under rails...here is a photo.

Hey All,
Well, been a couple of months but all done....I think! Might still do some blacking out of the grill, but other than that. Couldnt be happier...love this thing!

Definitely a lot different than any other Limited that I’ve seen. Job well done.

Thank you...I wanted to be different yet be tasteful and I hope I accomplished that.

Did you wrap the grill and the window trim?

I actually left the window trim. I may still do it, but I would wrap it gloss black to match the pillars of the door.

The issue is the door handles have chrome so unless I bought Laramie ones, and took the doors apart, I wouldnt get rid of all the chrome anyway.

At this point I'm pretty satisfied w the outcome so I should probably leave well enough alone.

22x10 -24 w 33x12.5

No rubbing to speak of. Actually it rubbed one time backing up w a full lock to the left. But otherwise all good.
