What did you do to your Ram today???

[HSKR R/T]

Haven't made a poor financial decision in a while, so I was getting a little itchy. Truck pulled it great. Still experimenting with air settings in my airlifts. I think I had it a little stiff at 20 psi. I should have maybe tried 15 or so. I also bought a small air compressor from harbor freight to take in the truck when camping, riding, etc. for the airbags or anything else I need. At 2.8 amps, I "should" be able to run it off of the truck's inverter, but I haven't tried it yet.

That shouldn't have been enough weight to even mess with airbags.

Installed the Limited center console cup-holder and wrapped the covers in 3M Carbon Fiber to match the rest of my trim. Pretty happy with the results. View attachment 111861View attachment 111862

What’s the PN for that center piece?

It’s a sickness I tell you! Latest adds: bora 1.25 spacers, Nitto Ridge Grapplers, Ranch Hand Sport rear bumper, Ranch Hand Midnight front Bumper/grille, 2ea Rigid Industries Radiance light bars, pair of under hood no-drill brackets and trigger 4 2.5Ghz wireless controller that @Waterfowler41 recommended (I concur), 2ea 2x2 RI ditch lights, 2ea RI 2x3 “zombie“ lights, 4 cans of PB Blaster Shield protect spray. Distressed tailgate flag. I need help

Requires 2 parts. The main cup-holder Console: 5YE132X7AG and the bin it goes in: 6LY66TX7AA

The original lower bin part isn't as deep as the limited. It's super easy to swap. Took me 10 min. A lot longer to wrap as I'm a novice and I took it all apart to make it easier.

I love that front bumper

I was never crazy about flares but those look clean, there not huge and bulky it looks

Thank you...

Looks great. What size tires are you running ? Any rubbing issues ?

No, no rubbing at all, my truck had factory flares. So they sit in the exact same place as factory. 305/45r22 nitto ridge grappler I have leveling kit and I run in normal mode no rubbing at all

Прямо сейчас идет непрерывный дождь, поэтому я прихожу домой и иду проверять заднее стекло, оно течет. К черту мою удачу. Грузовику 4 месяца. Пытался позвонить дилеру, но ответа нет, завтра проверю.

кто-нибудь еще знает, что они наконец сделают? Заменить заднее стекло или просто добавить еще герметика что ли ???

Мне тоже не на что накрыть грузовик на сегодня.

Привет! Проверь свет на крыше, у меня была аналогичная проблема, протекала через свет. Некрасиво сделано, для начала нужно заклеить сиденье заднего фонаря. Удачи!

Yeah you're probably right. I just hate seeing truck sag ha. It drives me nuts. I should have maybe tried 10-12. Hell, maybe the 5 that I keep in it all the time would have been enough. Oh well, it's a learning process. I'm sure I'll have plenty of opportunities to experiment.

 

[HEMIJAKE]

Success! The inverter had no problem running the air compressor. Boy is it quiet too. Can hardly hear it running. Doesn't start hard at all. Luckily the cord is long enough that it reaches outside as well (on stock suspension anyway).

 

[HEMIJAKE]

Congrats on all your new stuff! The inverter is not going to be happy with that inrush current. A solution for this could be a soft start like in the link below. I don’t know if it will be enough to work in your particular application and I’m guessing you will not like the price either, but it’s an option

I also made a bad decision today and bought a Kabota L2250 tractor with mower deck and front end loader. There was no way I am towing it with the 1500 though, so I am borrowing a dually.

Seems to be enough wiggle room to run it, but I know what you mean. I bought a midsize generator for my camper last year (5k or so). It won't kick my air conditioner on if the fridge is on, even though I thought it should. I have to turn the fridge off, turn the air on, then turn the fridge back on. I've kicked around the idea of a soft start for that, but that's as far as it's gone.

Plastidip my wheels on the driver's side only just to see how I would like it, added my extra full-size tire/wheel spare, painted my diff. cover and added stainless steel Allen head with stainless steel lock washers to the lower 6 bolts that can be seen from behind.

Those Harbor Freight Fortress compressors are unbelievably quiet.

Wow, loving that setup!

Added the OEM air deflector in Matte Black to my White Ram......Thinking about blacking out the badges.

 

[DeV]

Snagged a set of like new black incandescent tail lights.
woot!

pics?

 

[ReLLIK75]

I don't think you will be very impressed with the fuel mileage of that truck if that was the reason you traded. And doest the Black Widow package include different seat covers?

It does.

I tried the same with my factory wheels. Plastidipped them. Really liked the look.

 

[Dookie]

How well has it held up, how long ago did you do them? Such a polarizing difference with just a color change, I'm really digging the way mine turned out. I may just buy a black set and sell my originals...

 

[lelshaddai]

It has been a month. Drove it on mountain roads and high speed freeway. Holding up well. I like the rims. When they start to peel I will paint them and ceramic coat them. Did not want to spend 1200 on another set. I use dRustoleum Peel Coat as a base and then Plastidip. All total about 7 coats.
