Side shot Saturday! Mounted my AMP boards the other day and couldn't be happier with them.

The only issue I have with foldaway boards is that they don't protect from rock chips from the front tire that stationary boards do. The RAM is infamous for rock and chipping on the rear fender/bed. I would keep an eye on it, maybe consider PPF in that area.

By the way, your truck looks awesome!

Yeah, I just like the look without boards so much better. I may look into some PPF though.

I agree, it looks awesome without the stationary ones. I went with factory ones because I was too cheap to get PPF :)

That looks absolutely amazing!
I have AT3s in the stock size - how's the noise in the big 35s? How's the MPG? (There's a chance I'm going to end up with a setup a bit like yours one day!)

There's a little hum, but nothing intrusive. I don't find it any worse than the stock tires and probably will notice it even less once I get my exhaust on. MPG's are hard to say since I only have ~350 miles on the truck! (Lift and wheels/tires went on at under 200) So far I'm mid 12's, but it's been almost all stop and go and should improve with break-in and with a little more highway mixed in.

Interesting - I personally feel the Toyo AT3s have a touch less rolling resistance than the Duratracs too, and IIRC they're 2lbs lighter per tire (at least in the stock size). I wouldn't be surprised to learn later you have decent MPG even in the larger size with the lift.

I know I'm getting about 15.6mpg (between the mopar ramair and the tires I think I'm up about 1mpg total on average, same roads) now, I was getting 14.7ish before both.
I think next summer I'll probably get close to 16mpg on the same roads on the summer blend, with the tires really worn in.
(Almost entirely city driving, population dense area with a good amount of stoplights, hills, etc.)

There's a Whipple out there that doubles the horsepower!?!? Please share this amazing technological find! I can't seem to Google things that don't exist... Lol
Wow, you don't have to be such a **** about it. I know full well the Whipple isn't going to give me TRX level horsepower. I was just saying I may supercharge my truck and make a poor man's TRX. Thanks for your insight though.👍

Installed a front camera today, no more not being able to see what's on the other side of a hill or around a corner while off roading.

How'd the install go? Is this the factor mopar one retrofitted or did you go 3rd party with a standalone screen?

Thank you to the guys who got this and posted it up! Didn't know it existed, but damn is it cool look at.
Where did you pick that up at? is it just a stick or a full button swap? Would love that for mine when I eventually get it.

And there's a few different styles too, take a look!
