    Hold my beer, I'mma make my own tonneau cover

    Ok , so in trying to keep my plan moving forward I am exploring this option. I have found a site that is basically a grown up lego or erector set (no not THAT kind of erector) wonderland. It's at www.8020.net and I'm eyeballing these: First, this is probably the panel I'm going to use and for...

    Hold my beer, I'mma make my own tonneau cover

    Niiiice. I thought about that but I couldn't figure out a surefire way to seal out the plywood to keep it from delaminating or bowing and stuff. I thought about getting a small can of bedliner and just coating it top and bottom all around, But another issue was how blasted heavy the plywood...

    Hold my beer, I'mma make my own tonneau cover

    Also, I found this plastic bonding packet from Loctite that claims to work? Have you ever tried this one? https://www.homedepot.com/p/Loctite-Plastics-Bonding-System-2g-Super-Glue-681925/100371829

    Rambox opened while driving

    Well, so far (since Monday of this week and today is only Thursday) there have been zero random openings. I also noticed that I don't have to slam it as hard to get the latch to catch. Not a scientific measurement just a casual observation. So I am cautiously optimistic that the problem has...

    Hold my beer, I'mma make my own tonneau cover

    Well that's where I'm at currently... I want to find a good way to bond it together. I thought about melting it together but I've come across an article or two that says there are some good epoxys out there that might hold. Luckily in the grand scheme, the glue or bond isn't going to be the...

    Hold my beer, I'mma make my own tonneau cover

    Next I need to add another thinner strip on top of the these four, and in the center to add some nice stabilization. Plus this will give the open t-slot design so that the bolts I use won't pull the original strips flush with my panel. The nice thing about this HDPE stuff is that since it's a...

    Hold my beer, I'mma make my own tonneau cover

    So my first "need" was to use the bed rails that came on the truck. I mean why not, that's what they are there for. Plus in my opinion RAM has done a **** poor job of providing ample accessories and fun things that can use these bed rails. I mean come on, the only thing I've found from RAM...

    Hold my beer, I'mma make my own tonneau cover

    So admittedly I'm a bit of a tinkerer and like to challenge myself. Plus I CAN'T STAND accepting that someone else controls what I want to spend on something that doesn't quite cover what I have in mind. SO that being said this is my endeavor to fabricate my own hard fold type tonneau cover...

    Calling All Patriot Blues!

    I love the color. I wanted a Rebel at first, but like the Patriot blue when I saw it on the lot and this one was maxed out with the fun stuff I wanted. I was torn at leaving it with the stock wheels but I just can't help but customize my vehicks so here is where it is currently. It has been...

    Rambox opened while driving

    That's exactly what my dealership did. I JUST dropped it off this morning to put the replacement part on. I hope this takes care of the issue. Good luck with your sitch.

    Rambox opened while driving

    So here was my experience when I took it to the stealership: I dropped it off about 8:30, explained to the tech what was happening. Showed him which box was having the trouble. He walked around the truck taking pictures which I've never noticed them to do and he mentioned it was just in case...

    Rambox opened while driving

    Well I guess I’m glad it’s not just me. I have a new 2020 BTS edition with about 3200 miles and I kept thinking my kids were climbing all over the bed pushing buttons but this confirms my fear. More tech seems to mean more to break. It just started doing this over the thanksgiving break. And my...

    Haha good plan. Don't go all nimrod on it like I did and try to stuff 35x12.5s in there! I have mine sold btw. Now to get a good size that won't force a lift or somethin' According to what I'm reading and connections at tire shops... it's not the height of the 35 alone, but the width that...

    Some Monster 35x12.5x20s. Word is from a couple of tire places this morning, they won't fit. I have a 2"motofab level in front. But I've seen some posts that say the WILL fit with some trimming. So I'm really torn. If I risk it and mount a tire/wheel... then I can't resell the tires as new...

    I have this guy just itching to get Mods. But I can't decide if I go with new wheels and tires or just keep the BTS rims. They are pretty slick. But this is my stock photo just after I got it. Since then it has been Leveled and has a tint. The tires and wheels are sitting in my basement...

    35’s on stock Laramie 20’s

    phew thank goodness. I have a 2" level and I've been trying to decide which tire/wheel size combo to get... and well I kind of put the cart before the horse and already ordered a set of 35x12.5x20 nittos and some aftermarket rims at a 0 offset. Sooooo here's to hoping my setup with fit if your...
