Finally stuck the bed rug down with the Velcro and installed a MOLLE panel. Apparently it will work with the OEM tie down rail so I will have to try that out.

What molle panels are those? They look great!

How are you planning to make your rims black? I have the same rims and been thinking i might like them black but haven't really looked into it yet.

It sticks under the hood. I played with it a little bit today and the system came back on with the bug guard. If I could do over I would definitely buy one that part of it doesn't go under the hood

If I understand what you're describing... when I installed the WeatherTech, I had to adjust the hood stops just a little bit to make the hood flush again.

Got my Chinese Amazon tonneau put on last night. Fits really well and looks well made for $219. The provided extra replacement clamps if needed, and a bulkhead seal for the front of the box. Drove to hockey practice in the rain last night, box was bone dry. They threw in a sticky puck light too for the bed ha.

Added some reverse lights as the factory ones are worthless. Haven't wired them up yet, but that will be done within the next hour or two. :D I'll be trying them out tonight.

This will be my first time not using a shop lift when installing a lift kit, so I just picked up a few new items to help me out. My old compressor is on its way out, so I decided to try the brushless HO dewalt impact instead of buying a new compressor.

RE: Dewalt DCF899 ... I have that and also the DCF894 (medium 1/2") and DCF902 (small 3/8" 12v). That 899 is definitely a beast, but when I started out, I found out real quick that I needed something more compact for those tight hard to reach places. Unfortunately, Dewalt never came out with anything like the Milwaukee stubby impact wrenches. I was too much invested in the Dewalt eco system to buy a single Milwaukee tool.

I believe Dewalt came out with the DCF901 - 12v 1/2" 400ft/lbs breakaway torque. That's as close to a stubby that I can get with Dewalt.

EDIT: I just did a quick search. Dewalt came out with a DCF911. It's exactly the same as the DCF901 but it's a 20v instead of the 12v. I'll just have to wait for a sale.

I love my cordless 1/2 impact (ryobi one system, though). I use it for everything. Rarely even use an air impact anymore. My dad tried mine and went out and bought one and a 3/8 version ha. You'll love it.

This isn’t really a “what did you do to your Ram today” post as much as it is venting. Eibach is pissing me off. They’ve had my lift kit sitting and waiting to go on the shipping truck for four days and it looks like it’s not going to go out today. The manager said it should’ve gone out four days ago. I’m thoroughly annoyed with them at this point.

Finally got my AA Wireless in. Allows me to have Wireless Android Auto. I removed the screen and stuck the module here with some 3M tape if anyone else is interested in getting it out of the way/clean install. So far pretty happy with it, takes 30-40 sec for it to kick on.
Does the quality of the audio sound the same while using this as is does when directly plugged in via USB, or does it have the same diminished quality that the audio has over bluetooth?

Don't go off cancelling. I'm waiting for your review too! haha yeah that is super annoying man. Hate when that happens. Ask them to ship it overnight on their dime. I believe a company like them would to keep their customer happy.

That’s a good idea! If it isn’t out by Monday morning I’m going to call and push for free overnight. Thanks for the suggestion
