What did you do to your Ram today???

[RAM REAPER MAN]

Indeed. Except the 2022 I had the fuses were pointing straight down and I didn't have to take a panel off IIRC.

Also, from the factory the fuse is positioned for battery power instead of ign.

Now thats what I'm here for! Good stuff, thank you

Not the best pictures but I'm limited on space so its the best I can do for now.
I think its sticking out too far but other angles look about where I want it. It'll change once its on the ground but at this point its too far out for me.
Curious what others think and what spacer I should try next. I know the least is the best but I want to find a medium ground. I'll have the otherside done tomorrow by end of day.
God willing

If you reckon you are close, you really need to put er on the ground and roll it forward and back so it all settles and then see where you're at....

Just my...

Did you mean 35 maybe 45?
My heat is on 55 max all winter and my AC is at 60 all summer
I guess we ain't camping together
What heater do you have? I've been considering one just in case... mainly for my dog if something go wrong.

lol nope i said what i said hahahaha
remember im a desert boy, my snow days are long gone (15 years ago) so...
i mean even at 55 i turn it on but i leave windows open lollll

mine's a HCalry tool box one with external tank.

Diesel Heater

Diesel heater can be used for cab heating of various vehicles such as trucks, vans, battery cars, etc., to eliminate window frost.

They are 2 inches. I was told at some point 2 inches not sure if its these wheels or another set I have I don't know why I went with 2 at the end.
It sounds like you may be able to do a 1/2 inch with them after research. I had planed on returning them to get something different but once again I got distracted so I own them now

.02 is what I asked for Im trying to fight the urge to buy the correct size without knowing the correct size until it sits and drives.

Our comfort tempature range is very similiar while the range being at different points.
Knowing the brand that has given great service alone is way better than me getting lucky with whatever brand I pick Thank you

1.5 spacer would give you perfect fitment flush with fender flares. I know if you want them tucked inside wheel well you need to stagger front and back. Something like 1” in back and 1/2 on front or something like that ( it’s been covered in forums before)

Thread 'Another TRX Takeoff Question - Minimum lift / wheel spacer for Ram 1500 Laramie? (No air suspension)'

Mar 16, 2022

I have a 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie Sport. It does NOT have air suspension.
What is the minimum lift and wheel spacers needed to fit these on a Laramie to avoid rub and cutting?
I think I have an idea on both from reading a few threads of what people have done but curious if anyone knows definitely what the minimum requirements are.
I'll get the CPU updated at the dealer for the speedometer after the rims are put on. Thanks in advance!

I'll check into that. I think 1 to 1.5 will work out fine. I heard something about staggered in my research which is something I've never done before on a 4X4.
I do NOT like the skateboard look at all and I feel that like I'm approaching that with 1.5. We will know soon once its on the ground and maybe I'll leave it.
The rear will be finished this evening but I still have the front to do.

Has to be different based on the wheel/tire package. On my Built to Serve, 3/4" front and 1" rear set the sidewalls of the factory 275 width tires flush with edge of fender flares. Now that I'm on 35x12.50s they poke out about 1/2". Which puts the edge of the tread blocks about even with fender flares. I'm not a fan of poke at all, and this is about the max I would ever do.

The stagger is because the track width is staggered from the factory with the front being 1/2 wider overall, so 1/4" on each side.

I'd wager much of the offset advice you've read has been based on stock rim size with factory offset. Someone chime in to correct me if I'm off, but TRX wheels may not have the exact size and offset as what came on your truck, so you may have to do a little more experimentation.

TRX wheels are +19, for the record

It takes a bit of digging but if I had to live with it Id be ok.

I was wondering about that. Seems a little extreme for some reason I tought -12 made wheels flush. I'm going to bed my brain is done when simple things liike offsets confuse me.

YES WITH 1.5 YOU WILL EASILY CLEAR BUT YOU WILL RUB THE LINER / MUD GUARD

just one thing: mine leaks at the fitting on the external tank so each morning I gotta empty it.
i found it to be common issue across various brands (even those kits where you put together yourself in a pelican or plano case), but that was on units that came out ~2 years ago.

maybe the fixed that issue, maybe not. but something i feel like you should know.

 

[boogielander]

so uh... there was Geminid Meteor Shower this past weekend and I found out about it too late, so had some alone but not lonely time in the desert to capture it.
here's summary:

• 1 man 1 truck
• no air down
• discovered I had some issues with my Renogy DC-DC w/ MPPT charger for the camper LiFEPO4 AT CAMP... so basically the whole week with starlink being on and truck not driven it was draining the battery because solar wasn't charging. 3 hours of driving with solar priority charge profile only charged half of the battery. Continued to run starlink for the night, set it to sleep at 4AM-8AM and ran diesel heater at the lowest setting to conserve energy. Left all camper lights off during the 12 hours I was at camp. Almost froze to death at night with windchill
• did 2 sessions of photos, 10PM-2AM, and another one from 2AM-3AM. Ended up with about 1500 photos with only 73 i deem publishable. I turned 750 of them into a time lapse video (will post that later)
• post processing almost killed my desktop in the RAM department... who knew 32GB RAM is not enough...

Here are the results:

for a place that I've been to over 5 times in 2 years, this weekend's shots were the best I've got.

As promised, video of 750 photos stitched together is up:

Added supplemental backup lights. Used the Curt 58564 trailer adapter along with 5 pin flat male harness connector tied to both lights. Same lights I used on my 21 Rebel, however, for this install cut an opening in the bumper bezels to fit the lights (similar to what another forum member did) and epoxied them to bezel. Cleaner install.

 

[RAM REAPER MAN]

Passenger rear finished tires on the ground but front frame in the air and 70 psi in the air bags
I guess its just the angle because I did measure. The jack stands aren't perfectly spaced so the slope is different
I officially start the front tomorrow It shouldn't take as long since I'll be doing less but springs will be harder.
Tires will have to be better than what I had but I'll change to snow rated next fall God willing. I think I like my side steps a bit more now just too low with 275's
