What did you do to your Ram today???

I don't know how many care about this besides me, but its exactly 6 lbs. of mud that came out.
It actually looks like its designed to fail after examining it closer. This is the passenger side rear.
I guess for now I'll clean them up and add a few holes until I have the time to research and replace 🤪

I see many go Husky over OEM or Weathertech. I was gonna put some on, but mines older and many miles, so too late for it now.
 
Are there molded flaps that work with aftermarket fender flares? I see oem, but not sure what to get, we get a lot of rain here and stuff flings up on side of the truck constantly. That PUP sale was great last week, got my 6 jugs in mail, $22 for 5 quarts. I got the Energy poly front sway bar bushings in mail, trying to decide if I want to go out and crawl around under the Ram today 🤐

From what little I know you would have to do some modifications to make them work.
I've never seen a kit that included both, but that doesn't mean it don't exist.

They make flat mud flaps you can look into. I forget the few brands out there at the moment.

Clean, fill with door, window foam,
 
Added a Ranch Hand GGD191BL1C Legend Series Grille Guard yesterday. Aside from fighting with one driver side upper bumper bolt that didn't loosen until the last thread, the job went perfect. All sensors are completely unobstructed, save for a bit of line artifacts on the front camera image (some edge of view bloc.kage)1000008577.jpg
 
Drive it to work, left windows cracked about an inch behind the visors and sunroof open to vent so it wouldn't be too hot inside when I came out at end of day. I guess sometimes this afternoon a dust storm blew through, so entire inside of the cab is covered in dust. Worse than after my off roading trips this last weekend.

Clean dyed and ready for installation 🤪 Its not much but more than I had yesterday
Can anyone tell half the garage uses 6000k and the other half 5000k lights? 🤣
Still need to install more draining holes so I don't get 6 extra pounds on each one.
 
well today i figured out how to take out the front end and the grille so i can figure out what the hell is wrong with my windshield wiper bottle (which stopped leaking now... it's been holding fluid for 2 weeks already)

Customer's truck involved in front end collision. bumper is done, and active grille damaged. Had to take off the grille to replace.
Did everything in less than an hour because i am an expert at removing bumper and the top portion of the grille now after 3 tries on my own truck lol
just waiting for new bumper to arrive.

I've not seen a ladder like that. I've used similar ones that you lay down on over the the engine, but I cant lay on my chest and breathe very long.
Is that one actually an automotive or painters design?

Just looks like a step stool with a platform to set tools

Well it kinda does. However, It has cut outs for your legs and the top bar that's normally there isn't.
I just thought it was something different. It may be purpose built or modified so I asked.
With my health issues I'm always trying to find ways to make it easier or to keep my mobility going longer.
I guess I could have asked in a private message. Its not exactly related to what did I do today but figured it was okay to ask...
 
Topside creepers work really well. I used to have one like this.

But this one looks like a much better design. Especially with the leg supports and fold up design.
