    Frame Replacement

    Hey, all! How difficult is a frame swap, if you do it yourself? Would I need special tools and/or equipment? Background info: I wrecked my 21 Big Horn last year, Sept or Oct. Had full coverage, but I didn't much care or agree with insurance summary. Adjuster told me damages where higher than...

    G2 Caliper Paint (Timing) Question

    So I got a caliper paint set, been waiting to use it. My question is about curing time/sitting time. Is it 24 hrs from start or 24 hours from finish? I'm thinking 24 from finish. If I finish at 4-5p Sat, I should be good Mon morning. Does it matter if it rains Sun?

    Brake Info Questions

    I thought I remember reading somewhere that our brakes are the largest (rotors) in its class, but can't seem to find anything now that mentions rotor size. I also seem to recall us having top tier components/ material, like ceramic, but can't recall if it's just the pads or rotors also. 21 Big...

    Custom Lug Nuts

    So, I'm thinking I want some custom colored lug nuts on my truck. At moment, I'm thinking I want to keep same size closed acron style, just a different color. Anyone know thread pitch and such? Reputable aftermarket companies or places to buy from? I don't think I want to trust my lug nuts on...

    Air Filter

    What are you guys running for air filters? It's been a while since I replaced any sir filter, period. When I was younger and didn't know much better, I'd go with Fram. I think once I picked up a drop in K&N, don't think I kept the car long enough to wash it. Anywho, I'm coming up on my 3rd oil...

    Lost My Key Fob

    Ughh! Ok, so I lost my key fob at or near work. I was able to have my second brought to me, so I could get home. But now, I'm wondering what to do now. Best case scenario, someone finds it, turns it in and I get it back. Yea! Worst case scenario, at some point during my work day, some says to...

    A Few Oddball Wheel/Tire Questions

    I have a few questions about wheels and tires I'm hoping people with more experience than I have answers to. Typically, all things being the same (or as much as they can be) which weighs more, larger rim with less sidewall or smaller wheel with taller sidewall? Same overall diameter. Same two...

    To Winch Or Not To Winch

    So, I've been wanting a winch on my 21 Big Horn since I've seen the hidden winch mount by Vice Designs. Finally pulled the trigger and ordered a winch, a few days before Christmas. I ordered a Warn Zeon 10S, not the Platinum, couldn't justify that expense, but thought I could do better than the...

    5th TPMS Sensor

    I have a full sized spare, but on a steel 18" wheel, same size as my other wheels. Not too long ago, I got a flat that required me to use spare, of course, I found out for sure, my spare doesn't have a sensor. When I got tire replaced, it went under the bed for a few hours. For a short while...

    Wheel Ring Lights

    So, thinking about it, seen it on another truck in person. Definitely looked interesting and eye catching. Doesn't seem to be a thing here, tho. Has anyone done wheel ring lights on their 5th gen?

    Accessory Wiring

    Thinking of making modifications to my truck, but having never nodded a vehicle, I'm very unsure about a few things. Mainly, wiring and powering said device/accessory. Are factory wires typically being cut and/or spliced or are there usually harnesses?

    Falken Wildpeak

    I was wondering does anyone use Falken Wildpeaks? Not the downgraded ones we get from factory with ORG, but the standard ones that get great reviews everywhere. Got a flat not long ago, irreparable, so was looking for factory replacements (couldn't justify $1000+ for 1 tire) and keep seeing them...

    Fluids Warm-Up

    Ok, so engine fluids, like oil and coolant. Lately, it's been getting chilly my way, so now there's a bit of consideration to let the truck warm up a bit. I'm about 2-4 min from the highway, depending on how I'm driving. By time I get to the highway, my coolant temps, according to instrument...

    Winch Selection- Clean Mounted

    I been looking into getting a winch on my front end, don't want any goofy aftermarket or 3rd party bumper or mount hanging off the front end. Looks like @VICE design has that covered with the hidden mount setup. There is a lot of space behind the bumper, so a person could likely fit almost any...

    Sherpa Winches

    While searching for winches, I came across Sherpa. Looks interesting, I believe I heard or seen the name before, on other groups, but not here. Anyone have experience or thoughts on these winches?

    Warn 10k vs 12k Winch Differences

    Looking at getting a Warn winch and a Vice or Swarf mount. Pretty sure I want synthetic rope. Was definitely sure I wanted/needed the 12k vs 10k, but noticed a 20' difference in rope length, with the smaller winch having the longer rope. Anyone have any idea why?

    Neutral, Engine Off

    Is it possible to shift into neutral with engine off? In my truck, I cant turn shift knob unless engine is running. If I push Stop button, the shift knob auto rotates to Park. Was at car wash yesterday, the kind with a conveyor that pulls you through. Kept gettin message on dash to shift into...

    AMP Research Bed Extender Questions

    Does anyone else make those bed extenders besides AMP? They are the only ones with that style that keeps coming up when I search. I'm only interested in the square one, I want as much of my tailgate included/covered as possible. On that note, those nubs, where do they land or touch on tailgate...

    ETorque Starting

    Ok, so I understand most start/stop systems just use a beefier starter motor, but Ram uses a generator and still has a starter. I know the starter handles initial startup and eTorque start/stop wont go active until certain parameters are met. What I dont know and am curious about is if the...

    Crew Cab Ram Bins

    What are y'all using for/doing with/putting in your in-floor storage? I know they are there, but I haven't put anything in mine. Almost thought of putting some drinks and maybe ice for a trip with kiddos. Also considered putting in a recovery strap and a shackle, but wasn't sure I wanted to...
