    Door handle cup protective film

    I've been uber careful with mine, but I would LOVE to buy some protective film for them. The car that I traded in for this Ram was my 2017 WRX. I bought it 'certified pre-owned' from the local Subaru dealership with less than 6k miles on it. After getting in out a few times, I noticed that there...

    LED Reverse Lights

    Looks great guys. I'm really digging Kbonk's setup, so I just placed an order on Amazon for the following items: OEM Trailer Plug Wiring Harness Y-Adapter Converter Splitter 040-984 (This thing will come in VERY handy for the life of the truck) - $38 Nilight 60001F-B Bar 2PCS 18w 4" Flood Fog...

    Best Air filter for bit more engine sonority?

    I removed it. I'm still waiting for someone to chime in and tell me that I shouldn't have, but I haven't had anyone say anything negative about it yet.

    Best Air filter for bit more engine sonority?

    I bought this same filter and installed it in my truck last Tuesday. I absolutely love it man. I've had CAI's in the past, and I'm not going to waste the money on one for this truck. This AEM filter is amazingly well constructed, and provides tons of clean, dry airflow. The only reason to go any...

    Upgrade - Swapping out the Factory "Alpine" Speakers

    Weird.....I think my option is available when using Sirius. That's all I really listen to, also. It does say that it "may not be available in all modes," but I assumed that was over bluetooth or AM/FM.....because mine is on. I will absolutely double check this today though. Good, I'm glad you...

    Led Upgrades

    Nice! Cograts dude. Looks great. I want those effin fog lights SO bad!! Which led bulb fits the reverse light? Also....your interior LEDs look a whole helluva lot brighter than mine. Did you use the Fireflys, or what?

    Upgrade - Swapping out the Factory "Alpine" Speakers

    I just checked. The surround sound makes zero difference. The headliner speakers are on, either way. They just have zero output. They're trash, and aren't even setup to perform their role. They don't even have a tweeter. They're just little paper 2.5" speakers. A nice set of 2.5"s with a silk...

    Upgrade - Swapping out the Factory "Alpine" Speakers

    I'll check that out. I'm pretty sure mine is on at the moment. I was in there not too long ago looking at things. I didn't hear a difference at all when switching back and forth.

    Upgrade - Swapping out the Factory "Alpine" Speakers

    Thanks dude. I haven't yet swapped those, but I would definitely love to soon. I have noticed while sitting back there tinkering that those things put out zero sound.....It's pitiful. I have a page bookmarked on my other computer with a good write-up about this upgrade. He replaced those with...

    Upgrade - Swapping out the Factory "Alpine" Speakers

    Hey guys-- I've had my truck for a little over a month now, and I'm getting around to upgrading a few things. I ordered these Kicker 3.5" speakers to replace the washed-out "Alpine" speakers in the dash. I'm only replacing the corners at this point, but I may order a second pair, if I can't pick...

    Best Air filter for bit more engine sonority?

    I received my Airaid filter from AEM on Wednesday....only two days after ordering it. I'll second what Blck stated about the sound and butt dyno, but it's still a great filter....especially for the price. Anything to help her breathe a little easier. I also pulled out the charcoal 'emissions'...

    Dual Fog Kit

    LOVE it!! I bet it's pricey, though. I still want it! Which kit is it? **edit** Just saw your reply. Thanks dude.

    Best Air filter for bit more engine sonority?

    Thanks guys. That's a hell of a deal on that AEM filter. I just ordered one for my truck. Can't wait til it gets here.

    Exterior Halogen to LED Bulb Swap

    When buying LED replacement bulbs, you always match the light output of the bulb with the color of the lens cover. **edit** You'll see that when you look at most kits.
