    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I paid $245.58 (with tax and shipping) on discount bandit 2 weeks ago but that price seems to have gone up too. https://www.discountbandit.com/hellwig-dodge-1500-09-rsb.html It was delivered last weekend.

    Automatic Braking while Backing up?

    I had the same problem backing into the parking spot at my girlfriend's townhouse. It didn't happen when I first bought my RAM but started happening consistently after I added a Westin Hitch Step (picture attached). I'm not getting rid of the hitch step so I disabled active breaking off in the...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    My experience disconnecting my battery was far worse. I briefly disconnected to wire my LED lights and my Uconnect no longer recognized my backup camera. Disconnected again for an hour hoping the system would reboot and clear. It only made it worse, the camera apps were no longer in Uconnect and...

    Front camera adjustment

    Yeah, think you are right on that one. I might pickup a cheap aftermarket camera to mount to the grill guard and splice it into the existing wiring. If I go with a night vision camera it might be worth the effort. https://www.amazon.com/KYLIN-Drilling-Forward-Non-Mirrorred-Unreversed/dp/B01KKEQ88S

    Console Vault - In Vehicle Safe Review

    Overall I'm very pleased with my Console Vault. Shipping was fast and instillation was pretty straight forward. I spray painted the mounting bolts black to match the interior. I went with the 3 digit lock since it looked easier to unlock in an emergency situation. Fits my compact perfectly with...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Does anyone know how (if possible) to adjust the positioning of the front facing camera? I installed a Westin grille guard and the center post partially blocks the camera (see pictures).

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I went with console vault cause I was leaning towards a combination lock over another key lock. Also picked it up on sale. https://www.consolevault.com/Dodge-Ram-2019-2020_p_176.html

    Question: what holds the front license plate bracket on?

    Not sure if all dealers user the same screws when mounting the front plate but I had these extra clips laying around. If the screws are long enough they extend though the bumper and easily accessible if you get under the front end of the truck. With these 2 clips I was able to tighten the screws...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Here is the link for the sensor kit. Looks like they extend and mount by the headlights. I got my grille guard from Realtruck, got lucky and caught it during a sale. It was still expensive ($622) but the only guard I could find that had a sensor kit. Right now I have the sensors turned off and...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Thanks! No drilling but the carriage bolts were a little tricky to take off the frame but not as hard as I thought it would be. I used galvanized washers where the included ones didn't cover the hole in the metal, here's an example pick from the lower bracket. I do plan on installing off-road...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Installed the westin sportsman x grille guard as a solo project. For anyone interested, here's a tip. A milk crate and air suspension allowed for an easy alignment between the guard and the mounting brackets (helpful when you don't have a second set of hands). Also, the packaging supplies the...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Installed my Mopar hood and window air deflectors today (I'll get around to pics later....). Anyway, one of the hood deflector clips popped off and fell into the engine well, it might as well have been the abyss. A tiny black clip lost somewhere in an all black engine compartment. I looked with...

    Thanks for the review! I'm going to order one tonight, there is also a current 20% off promotion which makes this even sweeter. https://www.consolevault.com/

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Love the look, best bull bar on the market IMO. Any way to relocate the front sensors to make them work with that bull bar?

    Best time to buy | tonneau covers

    Anyone know the best times to buy a tonneau cover or when the best sales occur? I've seen discounts between 20% - 30% around Black Friday and Christmas but haven't seen many deals since then. I know I should have pulled the trigger back then but I just put the order in for my truck and didn't...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    I had the same experiences, even drove from NJ to MD to look at a Limited that I though would be a good deal. I had the dealership manager quote and email me a price with all applicable rebates/discounts I qualified for, took the test drive and the sales guy refused to honor the quote. Needless...

    Rambox and Cab Protector Rack

    So far no. I ordered my truck in November but it's still build status at the factory. Once I actually have it I can take measurements and figure something out.

    Order Tracking

    I received an update from my dealer today, the order was submitted as a 'sold order' and is in D1, no ETA on the ship date though. Thank you for the advice!
