What did you do to your Ram today???

ARE U RUNNING THAT W/O A BED COVER?

The bed cover is arriving in a day. Technically, you can run it w/o bed cover, but it is not recommended in the long term. I must decide whether I want a bed cover or a cap...

Not to minimize fireworks, I hope that buffs out easily. But a forest fire can do some damage too. I went for professional assistance with my Challenger.

I just had my Ram ceramic coated. Not sure it would hold up to fireworks though. Just hoping it holds up to Aphid honey dew.

Will definately need some pro help. Also seems somebody tried to key the passenger bed side. Luckly its not deep

Started working on my Bedrug. Love it so far. Installation can be tedious if you're paying attention and want perfection.

Well, updated pic:



There is no way I am leaving the rug in the bed. There is simply not enough precision and velcro for the rug to follow every bed contour. I pulled it out as soon as I installed it. If you have solid straight walls, the rug may be the way to go. If you have any round shapes, or shapes at all, you won't like it. Unless, of course, you don't care.

It's not meant to perfect follow every country of the side walls. When installed, the sides will be straight up and down, except around the wheel wells

found a few minutes to get it install today. Fits perfect , now to see if things slide less. Happy Independence day everyone.

Lol, bird and firework can't do nothing about it. but now that i think about it, i did have a car tow away last week that was blocking my entrance. I have signs posted and had previously talk to the car owner and still he blocked me for 2 hours. Few days after i forgot and did park the truck on the street so maybe him

So effectively, the most of the velcro attachments will be useless.

I'll wait for Lasfit, Weathertech, Husky, or some other competent company to make a rug that makes sense given technology capabilities.

Only need to put Velcro where it will touch the BedRug. They have a solid strip on the BedRug itself, but just cut sections to attach to the raised portion of bed sides where it will make contact. I I stalled one from a 4th gen into mine. I thought it fit great, other than having to cut and modify where it goes around the. Ack due to bed/tailgate difference between 4th and 5th gens.

That's exactly what I did, but it was still not close enough for me. The velcro lines that exist on the sides of the bed rug did not always line up with the best lines available in the bed. I watched RealTruck's video and it looked better for the prior generation.

Nothing to my Ram but just passing along a tip if you ever have some decaling you want to remove from your truck or….use one of these rubber wheels. $20. It attaches to a drill. I removed the decals off both sides of my boat in about an hour and a half.
Takes the decals and adhesive off. No harm to the paint finish whatsoever. Just needs a polishing now. I’ve used this for many years on dealer decal, pinstriping and full side decals.

New wheels, tires and suspension installed! Took it for a hoon up a logging road with a ton of washboard and potholes and the truck feels more stable and planted. On-road is improved too, slightly stiffer than stock so the front end doesn't weave and bop or dive during braking.

Wheels: Method 305NV 18" -12 offset
Tires: Toyo ATIII 295/70R18
Struts: Bilstein 6112, Clip 8
Upper Control Arms: BDS

I called bilstein and they said they are currently in development for new struts for the 25 1500 hurricane

Nice!

Maybe Vice design is testing the 6112’s for Bilstein? Because they’re on his Rebel and his level is perfect for what I’m looking for.

Mine fit fine, everything lines up and stays with the velcro
