Yep I could see them getting screwed up when they install them leading to customers complaining about it. Even though there’s sleeves they could use if they impact them. You should probably get a better quality lug nut anyways like Mcgard.

Still don't understand why Ram can't figure out - If they are charging a couple grand for a blacked out Night Edition, throw in $40 worth of black lug nuts!

Does anyone have covers that do this? Don’t feel like changing the lugs lol. Amazon links would be appreciated.

This looks great btw.

Today I put my new 3D printed front split on. Side spoiler is ready to painted, also someone I have 3D printed myself. What do you think?

@Flufdk - Looks really slick, but I would have done it all in white so you could really see the lower part (at 1st glance it appears that the spoiler has black cracks in it).

It looks like your new lug nuts are already scratched after one install. Add a little moisture and salt, and they will rust up immediately. That's probably why Ram, GM, and Ford run chrome lug nuts. They could use black chrome like the Mcgard's, but the bean counters wouldn't like it.

I think that's just sunlight reflecting off of the edges, if that is what you are referring to. No scratches yet, we'll see how these last

Yeah, I could see those being a reflection. If they are the $38 Amazon lug nuts, they might rust on you if you're not careful. Did you install one spline-type lug nut in the place of a locking lug nut?

I did install a locking lug on each wheel

And they are the Amazon nuts. I don't expect them to last forever, as I'm probably going to install the Fuel wheels that I had on my other Ram. I just couldn't stand looking out the window and seeing shiny nuts on black wheels ;)

Here is the hardwire kit that I got which is required for the cam to record while truck is off. I will warn you though that it comes with two fuse taps that will not work. The included fuse taps are for MINI fuses and our trucks run Micro2 and Micro3 fuses. I've included another link below that should work

Micro2 Fuse Tap
which port #'s did you tap into in the fuse block?

Took back to the dealer again for miss fire. Just got it back Thursday. Back in today. Since October 5 times for miss fire. What fun. Time to trade I guess.
