Well I financed the 19 for 41 with a trade, after hitting a deer and getting t-boned in it they gave me 33 for a trade,

That actually sounds positive! $8K after 2 years on a damaged vehicle. Good chance you were not upside down unless you had a high interest rate loan.
 
I did a full wax with Turtlewax Seal and Shine. If it took 15 mins, I would be surprised. 3 micro fibers, Winter gloves, hat and coat. Great stuff and it was 30 degrees F. No freezing and my truck looks great. I also peeled the dealer sticker off the back. It was coming loose anyway. So a quick auto car wash Friday and Wax on Sunday. The dirtiest part was the exhaust tips. They shined up nice. Above freezing weather is predicted tomorrow! I almost put my black wheels/tires back on, but decided to hold off for a month or so. Still too many stones and salt on the roads. My only issue is I cannot reach the center of the hood and the driveway was too icy to put a stool down to stand on.

Picked up my Borla Atak tips from being cerakoted silver(black inside). Came out really well. Didn’t like the chrome or shiny black so I thought I’d try something different.

I need to fine tune the tips but not too shabby.

This is an open question for me as well. As we have discussed, I am going to be adding supplemental reverse lighting. The most common USCAR plug from CURT uses only 5 of the 7 wires, with one being the ground. You've said the blue is for the reverse, which I'd use for the supplemental lighting. So that leaves only 3 more on the 5-pin flat harness. I'm assuming 2 of the remaining 3 are left/brake and right/brake. No idea what the final of the 5 is, and I asked previously which 2 are left off the 5-pin flat. Another poster picked up from a YT video that the "red" is always hot, but I don't think Ram uses a red wire there. Certainly there's no red on the CURT harness. USCAR diagrams have not consistently reported the functions of each of the 7 wires. I find this incredible and annoying.

If it's not on the 5-pin, I don't really want to tap into a different wire. Maybe it's no problem if I stay on the CURT harness, even if it's not the 5-pin. But anyway, I would like to pull from the trailer wiring to do my bed LEDs.

I received the CURT harnesses, the same ones you use including the USCAR with 5-pin flat, as well as the 5-pin extension. I have the LUYED LEDs that multiple others have used. And I have two 6-ft LED strips for the bed. I should have time this coming weekend to wire up these projects, though it looks like we will have rain here.

Have had my Ram a little under 6 months now. Finally got the ceramic tint done on the two front windows. Have been slowly upgrading. Here’s a couple before and after pics from Sept 2020 (completely stock) to today.

Needed some new tires so I decided to go with the Cooper Discoverer AT3 xlt. AND THEY ARE AMAZING!!!! The quietest offroad tire I have ever ran! Literally ZERO road noise.
They are 35x12.50R18 for anyone interested in this set up.

How's the ride quality? Better, same, or worse than stock?

As far as the tires, ride quality is great. BUT having the 3.5" readylift absolutely killed the ride in the front due to the preload spacer in the strut. I heard replacing the factory struts with the rough country 3.5" lift struts brings it back to factory ride.

What brand are these? I really like the design. Wonder if they come in chrome. Thanks

These are just the stand OEM boards. I got mine off eBay for around $400 with free shipping. I stuck with OEM as the knockoffs on eBay look the same but the brackets are very thin and cheap looking. Keep your eyes out and you may find someone selling a set of the chrome ones near you that they don’t want.
