    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I love the look of the wood panels, but...don't you have spiders? I don't clean my walls continuously, but sometimes I clear the cobwebs. Spiders also leave all kinds of stains. Anyway, great look. Perhaps you can show off a more complete view. #garageporn

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I'm interested in knowing the performance gained by the engine mods you have. Did you report on them previously? Do you have and dyno evaluation? You've had some serious work done!

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Today was an installation day with The Abyss. First was the LUYED LED reverse lights. I used the 5-pin CURT harness, marine solder connectors ( heat-gun activated solder/shrink wrap, effective and easy), and probably 9 zip ties to secure all the wiring. Everything is clean and out of the way...

    I don't think I have the courage to drill through sheet metal. Am I seeing that right?

    So, you prefer a noisier cab then?

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Not quite God's Country...but at least property taxes are cheap. I see Rams daily, so we're in on the secret, no?

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I knew the whole time I was doing it that I should've taken a few pictures of things, like squeezing in the supplied grease, the location of the bushings on the bar so you don't waste much grease sliding them in place, and the end link bolt and nut, which are a little peculiar. But it's...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Dogpatch, just the 7709. I don't know the circumstances in which a Ram might not have them and need them in the other Hellwig part number. I pulled the OEM bar and put the Hellwig in its place. Simple. The only "difficult" part is working underneath. I had my rear on ramps which made it...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    So...I know it's popular and lots have done it, but...I installed my Hellwig 7709 Sway Bar last night, and I must say, what a tremendous upgrade! I bought it a few weeks ago but didn't make time to install it. Then, last weekend, I drove to Asheville, NC. If any of you have driven I-40 east...

    His deal was in his signature below.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I heard folks in the MSRP thread saying they were getting what they paid 2-3 years ago when trading / selling, because of the used car / electronics crunch happening right now. You had a $4K deficit, still pretty great. Did you ALWAYS get 22 mpg highway? My 2021 Laramie isn't doing that well...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Did you use T-taps? I feel a little better corrupting the wiring here since it is not exposed to weather like underneath the truck. I still prefer not touching OEM wiring at all...but...the functionality is excellent if going the same route as you.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Same, on the mess. There's still so much oil in the system above the filter even after a seemingly full drain. Once the filter is off the fitting, it drops everywhere. I may try draping a towel or plastic sheet over the axle there, and just let it run down. While the mess is disappointing...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Two questions! 1. Where did you attach the LED lights? To the bed wall, or underneath the tie down rail? And if to the bed wall, how did the spray liner texture affect adhesion? 2. Can you describe how you connected them to the factory bed lights?

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    The High Technology Group was the major addition for 2021. Heads up display and rearward camera ported to the LCD in the rearview mirror. Given current conditions, I doubt you will see anything more technology based. I've heard people talk about a UConnect 5 upgrade? But there are no rumors...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Can you explain what you mean about the 4x4?

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I really like its low profile, but they don't have one for a 6'4" bed with multi-function tailgate. Few do, actually. I bought Extang.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Can you describe your choice of wiring technique for the LED strips? I have mine waiting to install.

    LED Bedlight Wiring

    Thanks, I do have what you call a Y harness, from the mfr CURT. Unfortunately, the one I bought only duplicates 5 of the 7 trailer harness wires. I originally got it for aux reverse lights. At that time, I planned to tie in with factory wiring for the LED bed lights. I have the OEM bed...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I agree. Summit Racing was my first price reference. They are now higher than before, but not as high as Amazon's current vendor, "Advance Cycle Parts". Walmart.com was still cheaper. The Camel site is pretty cool!
