Yesterday I did Line-X, tinted my front windows and windshield strip to match the rears, and had an exhaust shop weld in a 14" Magnaflow. Three different shops in one day! One hell of an upgrade day. My wife surprised me with gift certificates for all three for Christmas! There Line-X and tint shops coordinated on the surprise too!

Upgraded...... 21 Laramie Sport 5.7 E-Torque(26gal) in Ivory White. Level 1 with the 12” Uconnect, 3.92 and all weather mats. Moved my Gator EFX tonneau over and they are going to be swapping my Borla Atak over sometime next week. I still have all of the upgrades and sound system stuff that will transfer over.

500 cash for install at auto upholstery shop near me in NYS. got quotes as high as 1500 for the install. the gent who did the job was top top notch. he used heat lamps to get wrinkles out. im as handy as the next guy but this seemed worth it to have him do the job.

Yeah I got another 14 gauge extension cord and cut the end off of the cord and the NOCO and spliced them together, but the cord I got was too short and I still had to run the heater block cord under the truck, I suggest finding a 20ft+ 14 gauge extension cord that way you can run the cord all the way into the engine bay and just plug it in, I plan on doing that in the summer once the snow is gone.
Thank you sir.. I will be tackling this over the next couple days depending on the weather. I think I will just use self fusing tape to wrap the connection between the Noco and my extension cord.
Happy New Year to you !

That’s a cool and really handy gift. Never seen anything like that before! Wife did great on the gift man!

Yes, a Hi-Lift jack won't work since I have the side steps/rub rails; the recovery trax were also part of her gift which was perfect since it turns out I need them to make the inflatable jack work to compensate for the lift/tires. Once it gets warmer outside, I am going to retest everything under load using the jack/trax combo.

Not today but new to this community. I bought my Ram a couple weeks ago. I have had an Explorer for the past few years do to my commute. I bought my first boat, a Sea Pro 239 CC, and really need (and missed having) a truck! This is my fifth Ram. I had a 1997, 1999, 2003, and a 2007 Ram 1500.
Congrats. and nice truck

Installed a Du-Ha. Didn't think I would care that much about it, but I see now that it is a pretty good mod. I always kept a few things under the back seat and it was fine, but for some reason I never considered depth. It is nice to be able to stack things in there now all the way to the bottom of the seat if I need to.

I am very pleased with my Du-Ha. removed it from my 2019 and transferred it to my 2021. Use it all the time!

I added smoked amber 3/4" LED marker lights to the grill and made a wiring harness after watching Venomrebel 2020's YouTube video. They come on whenever the engine is running, not when just under accessory power. I may add an inline switch in the engine bay. I prefer DRLs so I am good with these being on when driving.

That's definitely worth the price!

Just got done installing my Dual Camera Dash Cam... Slight pain in the ***, but it all came together in the end... I wired the Thinkware iVolt Mini behind the rear driver seat velcro'd to the wall...

What model Blackvue did you purchase? And did you stick the mount to the plastic camera shroud or to the glass??? Can't tell in your pics.

I placed on the back of the plastic rearview mirror console, ran wires under that, then under headliner... Rear facing camera is being used as an interior view camera..

Interesting, why did not attach the mount to the glass? You are the first I’ve ever seen mount a dash cam this way so very curious🧐

I have to trim my Weathertech floormats to fit around the Du-Ha. I got the Locking lid with mine.
