    Price negotiated from MSRP

    I'm thinking of selling my 2019 Laramie while used car prices are way too high. My wife and I don't "need" two vehicles since we both work from home anyway. I can just sit on the money and purchase a new one once all this craziness subsides and incentives return.

    I'd be interested if there is another group buy.

    Did my own ceramic coating

    It all depends on the environment and how you maintain your vehicle. My 2016 MINI Cooper had Gtechniq Crystal Serum topped with EXO (I think it was v3 at the time). This car was garaged, never saw a car wash, and was washed by hand about once a month. Environment was Southern CA and AZ. Four...

    Did my own ceramic coating

    Great job! I did the same to my truck. Three days and about 20+ hours. It's been about 1 1/2 years and everything is holding up just like new. Hardest part of washing it is keeping it wet.

    over zealous back up sensors

    Mine does it every now and again, especially when there is a hard shadow. It seems to think where the shadow ends and the bright sun begins is a physical structure...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Installed the rear wheel liners. I took the wheels off for easier access and while I had them off, I washed and ceramic coated the barrels of the wheels. Since I did the rear wheels, had to do the fronts as well.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I used a 1x4 of hardwood. I had to notch out each side so it would fit in the wide part of the rails. I took the plastic cap off near the front of the rails to install them. I did use some metal plates (top and bottom) to help reduce flex and add strength. Below is a picture of where I notched...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Finished up a couple of projects on the Ram today. Built a bike rack for my mountain bikes and installed LED strip lights along the tonneau cover rails. I wired them in to the 7 pin hitch wires. Simple on/off switch near the tailgate.

    Installing Factory Trailer Brake Controller and DIY Software Update

    HUGE thank you to the OP for the excellent instructions. The entire job took me a couple of hours. I took my time and followed the instructions. I tried to use the DEMO version to do the programming. I was able to get to everything, but it would not allow me to actually set the change. So, I...

    Installing Factory Trailer Brake Controller and DIY Software Update

    Quick question. Has anyone tried the alphaOBD DEMO app? Looks like the only limitation is a 15 minute timer. If you can get the settings changed in less than 15 minutes, you can skip the $49 app fee. To program the brake controller, I don't believe we need to worry about the active diagnostic...
