    Lomax tonneau cover and 33x12.5 r22 tires installed today on my Limited

    These are rub protection for when the cover is folded open and you're running down the road. You will certainly rub through the powdercoat without them with time and an open cover.

    Mysterious Blue lines anyone knows what they are?

    Wonder if early production or a supply batch missed the zinc plated. On my truck, late October build, they are plated.

    Rough Country RAM 6" LED Grill Kit

    Everyone does Rigid... However, if you get into the nitty gritty of it, Baja Designs are the platinum standard.

    Rough Country RAM 6" LED Grill Kit

    Your cleanest install option is to step back to the early 2000s. Get a remote control switch that has a compatible frequency to Homelink. Wire lights to this and program one of the open Homelink buttons. Can do this for around $50, and you need a one button remote (i.e., same button on and...

    Tire Place ruined all my rims.

    No, sorry. It's not the wheels. It's the monkey on the tools! Competent tire shops whose business is focused on working with high end and custom wheels will never do damage to your wheels. Duckhead has an entire catalog of non-marring tools just for aluminum and fine chrome wheels. Then...

    Tonneau Cover Maintenance

    If it's the vinyl one, you can't go wrong with 303 Products for cleaning and care.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    My truck had become two-tone: Granite Crystal upper and Road Salt lower with that late 80s-early 90s overlap fade transition so I spent a few hours going back to monotone and cleaning the undercarriage.

    Hard-wire Dash Cam Install

    Clean install. Too bad there's nothing rear facing. Rear hits are apparently the most contentious and most frequent hit and runs per the insurance stats. If I could get clean looking front and rear facing, I'd install. If only the 1500s had the cargo cams...

    Awesome Console Safe...

    It's design is one to keep honest people honest. If a would-be has a bar and the time and space to risk the commotion, they can break it out of the console. The new truck doesn't have convenient structure like the 4th Gen to get to - just look at the parts diagrams.

    Slight vibration when in park

    Yeah, I'm puzzled guys. I'm going to try to purposefully duplicate and shoot video of the tach, gear indicator, and light on if it repeats.

    Slight vibration when in park

    So noted the behavior this morning while on a conference call and pulled over. Interestingly, I had turned on my ECO dash light last week because I've been monitoring my mpg versus driving conditions, and this morning the behavior started when the ECO light popped on! I didn't think there was...

    2019 RAM Rebel Mopar Concept

    That's the hood the Sport should have been IMO! If they produce it, my truck will "sport" one.

    Which would be more beneficial for towing a travel trailer?

    Now if I had $5 for every happy camper family running down the road with either 1) no WDH when desperately needed, or 2) nice WDH but not even remotely close to being properly set up, I'd have already retired! Two general rules for anyone new or novice at towing: 1) don't believe the trailer...

    Which would be more beneficial for towing a travel trailer?

    If one or the other, 3.92 for that weight.

    WeatherTech Mud Flap Review

    Yes, I did because they will. All splash guards and mud flaps will cause psint damage - abrasion from the dirt that will ultimately get between them and the finish. I used PPF, not foam or vinyl tape. Foam keeps moisture and will damage paint. Tapes have the wrong adhesives.

    Hard-wire Dash Cam Install

    Short of it: Tekonska, Bargmann, Curt, Hopkins, and others make breakaway battery kits. You'll want to buy a kit with the charger (have to limit the small cells to trickle charge or they'll pop). You'll see they come in various capacities and physical sizes with their own battery boxes in...

    Hard-wire Dash Cam Install

    Simple solution to the battery concern would be to wire up a small, rechargeable AGM with isolator. Back in the day, you could buy a drop in from Directed, but you make need to build one off a trailer breakaway battery kit. Easy to do, won't jeopardize your starting battery, and your camera...

    Mysterious Blue lines anyone knows what they are?

    Since way back in Mopar history, vehicles were heavily marked for QC checks. In fact, it's a clue to seeing how touched a classic is. Anyway, had blue and white on mine in view before I cleaned them off with a little Xenit on a cloth.
