    Aftermarket Rear Bumper options

    That looks great--which winch did you go with?

    Aftermarket Rear Bumper options

    How you like your Fab Fours front? I think it looks the best out of all the aftermarket ones--subtle but still tough...pics? Any install issues?

    Aftermarket Rear Bumper options

    Quick update on my rear bumper: No problems, no rust (truck is parked outside all the time), holding up great. Small gripes--as previous poster had mentioned, the rear license plate light it comes with is a chrome generic light--I could have sanded and painted it, or Plastidipped it, but I got...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    what base plate is that? Is that a Bulletproof mount? I can't find anything similar on RAM's website...how does it mount, did you have to drill any holes?

    Aftermarket Rear Bumper options

    I just used some zip ties to secure them to the 'prongs' on the aftermarket bumper... kinda' hard to explain, but needless to say, they are holding up fine and work fine!

    Aftermarket Rear Bumper options

    Another member asked me for some pics showing both front and back, to see how the rear black bumper looks in conjunction w/ OEM front. My front bumper is body-colored; the black rear bumper might stand out more/look odd if I had a chrome front bumper, YMMV... nearly 1 yr into ownership, the...

    Aftermarket Rear Bumper options

    You must have missed my 1st post--my wife backed it up into an oddly angled short brick wall :( ... at least she paid for the bumper!

    Aftermarket Rear Bumper options

    Apologies for the long delay, but I finally got the bumper on! The Barricade bumper came in a big box that was absolutely thrashed by UPS. Despite this, the bumper didn't have a scratch or dent. Amazingly fast 3d shipment, must have cost a bundle! It went onto my '19 Limited, and the hardest...

    Aftermarket Rear Bumper options

    Yes, thanks for the link--under $600 (more than half the price of these other bumpers), free 3 day shipping! One thing that turned me off of some of the aftermarket bumpers was the fact that they weigh a ton (I think one of the Fab Fours is 175 lbs!). If I go down the rabbit hole of...

    Ok, Barricade bumper ordered--I'll be the test guinea pig & update when I get it put on!

    Aftermarket Rear Bumper options

    I drive a 2019 Ram 1500 Limited Crew--which wife had backed up into a concrete stem wall that dented the rear bumper and dinged the tailgate :mad:; anyhow, I am thinking about replacing the rear bumper myself rather than having a body shop fix it (was quoted $3200 for them to order new rear...

    What to do when satellite radio trial expires?

    Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of with the portable--that the sound quality will be so degraded, it won't be worth listening to music (over and above the already compressed sound quality now)...

    What to do when satellite radio trial expires?

    Thanks for the advice/suggestions...yeah, I kind of hate constantly having to negotiate (I guess I'm not a negotiator at heart)--kind of like having to lease a car and go through the hassle of negotiating for another one each time (or my cable TV subscription for that matter). Businesses...

    What to do when satellite radio trial expires?

    Just curious what folks are doing when their Sirius XM radio expires? On my previous new cars, I never thought much of XM and just let it expire, but I'm finding I quite like it on the Ram as it's my daily driver and we have a 30min each-way trip driving my kid to school (she just started the...

    Toggle Switches

    I don't have access to my truck (wife is using it atm), but this is the one I bought: Rough Country 20" light bar there's a couple of detailed threads on this light bar already. For $200, it's a decent option that has a DRL amber function (which I leave on all the time), but the actual LED...

    12.2 MPG after first 1,000 miles

    Another MPG thread, another chance for me to relive my disappointment LOL... I'm in a '19 Limited 3.92 w/ 22" rims and OEM tires. 90% city driving, 10% hwy/fwy. Drive smoothly, no hard stops or starts, no deactivating the MDS. Closing in on 7000 miles, using premium fuel. I'm at ~12 MPG...

    Toggle Switches

    I have a '19 Limited, and had to put my toggle switch on the little kick panel that the pedal-adjust switches are at... part of the problem is that there aren't any good spots that are easily accessible that's big enough for typical rocker switches... My toggle switch is to control the front...

    New RAM owner, crappy tires on 2019 1500 limited 22"

    It's funny that you thought the OEM tires were that bad--I just made a thread about how good I thought they handled our snow in Seattle--we had gotten like 5" and my truck plowed up fresh snow without problems. It was only when snow turned to slush during a warm break that it had some trouble...
