    Laramie to Bighorn, crew to quad, anyone done so?

    I went from a Longhorn crew 6.5 bed to a bighorn quad. Wanted a shorter truck for work. If they made a regular cab I would be driving that. I was really looking at the Big Horn HD regular cab hard before getting this one. I do miss the ventilated seats so I’ll prolly update with katskin later.

    What have you spent on customization?

    Cap was 4,100, Bedrug 500, Rails 300, lighting 300, ramp was 400. It adds up quickly

    2022 Laramie G/T or Limited Night Edition (Which build would you go with?)

    TRX all the way if you’ve got the means. Laramie GT would be awesome too. Limited and Longhorn are awesome trims (I owned a Longhorn 4th gen) I just can’t do those tapered headlights on the front ends. It reminds me of the decision they made with the 06-08 headlights. I hated that look but a...

    What have you spent on customization?

    Yea prolly need to add another couple tiers to the poll lol. I’ve got 5500 just in the bed alone not counting my tailgate project which is coming in at 1200 or so and climbing.

    Retrofit steering wheel paddles from GT ?

    The wiring is probably already there as you have the shift button on the lower right already. I bet it can be done by just swapping the wheel.

    Softopper Exoskeleton(Adarac)

    great setup, I see they sell as a triple now on the Ardac extreme and it gives a 700lbs weight capacity so you OP were correct on increasing your rating. https://rhrswag.com/product/adarac-xtreme-contour-truck-rack/v/Ram/Truck%201500/2021/

    Better MPG with higher octane?

    The station close to me has 110 as I’m by the racetrack. I put their 91 in the bike but haven’t tried 89. I might give it a try to see what happens.

    Toppers that work with Ramboxes

    You had mentioned you couldn’t find a truck without the boxes so you might see if someone would trade a standard bed and make some money to offset the standard cap purchase I do like that Aussie cap though, it’s pretty cool.

    Florida members, if you bought your truck in 2021, how long did it take for you to get your license plate

    Seems crazy, I took the MSO myself down to the DMV and walked out with tags. You pay extra for the dealer to do it and it takes weeks. The hassle I had was the DMV appt system wasn’t working for titles so I had to wait it out via walk in appt which was 1.5hrs. Not even sure why temp tags are...

    BEST Cap/Top out there...... RSI SmartCap ?

    I installed the commercial version couple weeks ago and I like it. I don’t have side windows and my back window is smaller but it matches my truck and works great. I installed a bed rug to make it easier on my knees and to protect the wheelchairs I transport. it will be nice when they come up...
