I’m interested in taking this on by myself. I don’t mind investing some money to purchase the equipment and taking the time, but it would be my first time. I’m sure there’s a bit of a learning curve, but I struggle to drop $1k+ to pay for professional coatings. I honestly have some reservations...

That sure does look really good. Those 35s on 20” wheels are perfect. I’m curious if you have any pics to show how close the tire gets to the plastic when you turn the wheel. I have 2” spacers right now, and I’m guessing I’d have to remove them for 35s. Did you ever get your speedometer...

I may order up the Graphene to try. Seems it is gaining some attention and faring well amongst the competition. I really want to find something that repels dirt rather than attracts it. Does that coating exist? I’m Leary of wax-based coatings... that just sounds sticky.

Ive considered doing Matte black as a two-tone on my black Ram. Love the two-tone paint on some other colors, but not the black with silver option. Love the subtle contrast. Nice work

I have the updated rails. They interfere with the rambox lids significantly less, but they don’t seal at all. I used some weatherstripping between the factory gray rails and Retrax rails and it’s pretty well sealed, now... but you’ll be pretty disappointed if you don’t go through that effort.

As much as I love my truck, I made the mistake of buying it in Black Diamond Crystal, as well. Still love it when it’s clean, but 90% of the time it has hand prints or drawings on the side from my kids. I could go 6mo without washing my white truck without being bothered by it, but I can detect...

Also curious what the vehicle wrap costed. My truck is black, which looks outstanding once it comes out of the car wash... for about 3mins. I love everything about my truck but won’t ever buy a black vehicle again. Al curious, what’s the longevity of wrap?

Anyone got light bars/pods/etc? https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink/topic?share_fid=2034315&share_tid=8943&url=https://5thgenrams.com/community/index.php?threads/Anyone-got-light-bars-pods-etc%3F.8943/&share_type=t&link_source=app I didn’t perform a detailed write up, but I have some info on my...

To the OP, welcome to the forum. For what it’s worth, if security guy only discussed new topics that have never been had here.. he wouldn’t have 3000+ posts either. So that comment was pretty hypocritical. I appreciate the detailed write up and problem statement you ended up with. Not having...

Argh! I can’t stand the chrome in my Laramie! How did you black everything out? Wrap it? Did you pay to have it done or tackle that on your own? Looks great. Really nicely done.

Scroll up and you can see my implementation.

Those look great, nice find on the price! Curious what install ends up costing you. Im curious if anyone has had their factory Rebel wheels powder coated? I actually like the wheel pattern quite a bit, but also not a huge fan of the machined look. Actually, I’ve been looking for dark gray...

No need, thankfully. That plastic grill part pops out after removing a few plastic clips and nuts. Once that is out, you have full access to the area.

No reason, they just hit the EASY button. :) Took a bit more measurement to determine fitment before I ordered everything. My mounting brackets were around $20 including hardware. The light output of the 40” bar is incredible!

No issues. I had to replace that lower grill mesh with an insert from the Diesel 1500, as my Laramie grill is 100% blockage. Everything works exactly as it did from the factory. I’ve detailed out the process and part numbers in another post on light bars, pods, etc.

I did make my own brackets. I chose this particular light bar because it has foot mounts which are adjustable along the length of the bar... so I didn’t need to try reach the ends of the 40” bar. This made the fab much more straight forward! Unfortunately, I only have basic handyman tools...

Finally completed the wiring on my 40” light bar. I now have the DRL option setup and have the option to have the full powered bar to turn on/off automatically with my Hi-beams or disable the light bar for on-road Hi-beam use.

Update for anyone interested: White/green : Hi Beams White/blue : Low beams White/Orange : White Halos

As a recap and follow-up, my sensor has been off by 20-25F for quite a while, and recently spiked up to 60F+ off of actual. I’ve had multiple new sensors and wiring installed I’ve the pst 9 months without long-term improvement. Thankfully, I also had some other electrical issues pop up in the...

As long as I’m under warranty I’ll continue on this quest. What started as a minor inconvenience on my vehicle has now resulted in a CEL which also prohibits my use of Remote Start. Since I’m also encountering turn signal failures and parking sensor irregularities, I’d really like to...
