    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I installed the BedRug XLT carpet bed mat. My uncle has the full BedRug liner in his F150 which I thought was pretty nice, but I’m not super impressed with this mat. They shipped it without the installation hardware so I had to wait for customer service to mail me replacements. Once I got it...

    Fire Extinguishers

    I just installed a 5lb Amerex B402 onto the Builtright MOLLE panels I put on the driver’s side of the bed. It fits perfectly between the wheel well and the rear tie down, although I’m not sure if I can get much use out of that tie down anymore. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Yeah the rails can definitely be reinstalled over the panels. However the rails will cover up a significant portion of the available mounting surface. I opted to just uninstall the rail altogether. ETA: Tagging @FLiPMaRC since he originally asked if they're compatible. The panels mount to...

    Adaptive Cruise Control.....Yay or Nay?

    The availability of ACC is why I changed to Ram in the first place. I drive about 80 miles a day commuting mostly on an interstate and having ACC is one of the best features of my truck.

    Anyone running the Uniden R7 in their Gen 5?

    This is what it looks like from the side. I can lower the visor so it’s about vertical before it touches the R3. I’m 6’4” so I don’t typically use the visor more than slightly lowered. That’s also why I didn’t use the BlendMount this time. It would position the radar detector at something...

    Anyone running the Uniden R7 in their Gen 5?

    I have an R3 that I mounted up high on the windshield. I used a BlendMount in my last car, but I felt like in the Ram it would be just hanging out in space. I tucked the cable under the headliner and down the A pillar to the fuse panel. The mount was about $10 off eBay and is just a piece of...

    I got both changes done at the dealership I bought the truck from. I have used full synthetic in both changes.

    new rebel owner looking for oil change intervals and type

    I'm coming up on 30,000 miles in my truck and will be getting my third oil change here in a week or so. I chose to go the full 10k miles on the original oil and have it tested to see if there was a definite benefit to an earlier change. In the report, I was looking for any indication that the...

    Gun safe for my 2019 Limited

    Personally speaking, if you’re concerned about security, I wouldn’t get the Tuffy console box. It’s made of thin steel and the sides are hinged (ie: not welded) to the top to make it more compact for shipping. I went with the Console Vault myself because the construction is much more...

    Gun safe for my 2019 Limited

    For that style of console storage, you’ll have no trouble with a full size handgun. This is a Glock 19 in my Console Vault. You could fit a couple full size handguns no problem. The Lock’er Down will have pretty much identical storage capacity. Since you have a Laramie you don’t need to worry...

    Ram sales drop to 3rd place for the 1st Quarter

    I’d say nothing that happens Q1 of 2020 can be indicative of any long term trends. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Center front speaker gurus...have a question for ya.

    I’m wondering if it might have something to do with a single center speaker and the Infinity’s only being sold by the pair. The one that does “fit” happens to be a single speaker. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
