Hello from the Bayou!

[danielle2019]

I'm Danielle, 36, born and raised in South Louisiana. LSU grad in civil engineering. I just picked up a sweet 19 Laramie 4x4 as my 'company truck'. I also own a 2016 B5 Blue Charger Rallye.

I'm co-owner of an engineering and land surveying firm, so I split my time between being dressed up pretty in the office, meeting clients, and getting in the mud with the survey crew! I also hunt, I fish, I fly drones - so I needed a vehicle that gets me where I need (or want) to be. While I have spent a lot of time in the field, I'm rather new to actually doing the offroad driving, pulling trailers, launching boats, and truck stuff in general - but I'm learning! When I'm not working my day job, I'm a makeup artist and wedding photographer.

Feel free to message anytime

Very sweet Challenger! I love the Blue Streak on my Laramie, but if it came in B5 I would have had it!

B5 is the best color

Welcome!

Another photo. I really love the sport hood! But this does show something I don’t like...the open rear wheel wells. Aside from getting mud all over the underside it just looks unfinished.

I’m told Mopar makes a wheel well liner, but I’m having no luck finding it on their site. Anyone know anything more about them? I’ll also need side steps.

Hello, the wheel well liners seems to be hit or miss on the website. As far as steps, are you looking for powered or stationary, black, or chrome ?

Stationary is fine, and I think black will look better on my truck. From looking around at other trucks, it seems to me that bars provide a lower step than a running board - is that accurate? I’m 5’-9” so I can get in without terrible difficulty, but I know steps would be easier. Especially on days I’m dressed for office duty!

This is how the Ram step bars look, I have a 4th Gen but they are still using the same bars from what I was told at the dealer. They come in all black and run about 500 installed here in Va. They make getting in the Truck much easier for me, I am also I large man and they are holding up well to my weight.. If you would like more of a close up I can take one tonight once i get home..

I typically prefer original parts, but may not have the option. When I bought the truck, it was on the lot next to a white one that had the black bars, and I told them I want those too. Apparently they are back ordered indefinitely, so I said fine, I’ll get them later. Since I’m seeing them as more of a need than a style choice, I’m looking at aftermarket instead of waiting “indefinitely”!

hmmm that is weird they are not order able by now, let me look at some places..

Welcome! Nice looking truck! Try here.Myoemmoparparts.com for the running boards. They can also help with getting the right wheel liners and associated components. If they do not have a part in stock they will source out for it. (They did this for me when I was ordering the bed extender bolts for my bed...and they were not easy to get).

Another step to look at would be the GoRhino RB10/20.

I have the RB 20's on mine.
