I think bolt-ons that do not alter or change anything about the function of the truck should be exempt; otherwise, hell even a trailer hitch ball would count since they don't come on the truck, especially since "mods" is short for "Modifications" and I don't see how adding something that is already provided for by Ram (like running boards) is a modification. In that spirit, I have no mods. However, I do have "Adds", short for "Additions", in the form of a truck cap, side steps, and mud guards, none of which came on it from the factory.

I'm curious how you blew out three tires?
Me too. I was thinking the same thing. One time in my new Frontier 20+ years ago I was driving home from the tire shop, where I just had brand new high-dollar off-road tires put on. On the interstate I saw something orange in the road, small, but couldn't avoid it and drove over it. I heard it crunch, figured it was a plastic cup or something. Got home, didn't see any damage. Went inside, came out a couple hours later and front tire was flat as a pancake. Pumped it up with my air compressor and could hear the air pouring out of it. So I had to put the spare on and drive back to the tire store. They pulled the tire off the rim and know what it was? A full-size philips head screwdriver, with the shank of the screwdriver straight into the tire (tread, luckily). The orange thing I saw was the handle, which pulverized as the shank imbedded into the tire.

Mine is still exactly how I bought it on halloween. I will be adding a tonneau cover and side steps soon though, so it's not gonna be this way for much longer.
Looks like we have the same Patriot Blue. Bought mine on 10/26. If you're looking for insight on what fits & how it looks feel free to reach out!

Definitely not OEM. Within the first week, I swapped out the crappy incandescent bed lights for LEDs.

Over about 8k miles I blew three of them.

I drive on unimproved roads daily for work - embedded into those roads are small, and admittedly sharp little rocks that managed to pop three of the tires, 2 of them on what I assume was the same rock at the same time - both drivers side tires! Thank god for Army LHS and flat racks. Didn’t have to pay for a tow.

K02s have been fantastic. No issues since. And it’s seen those same trails a minimum 3 times a week.

Mine is 100% how i bought it in October. Ill likely add MLV and some other sound proofing to the doors/cab in the near future (and better tires).
