What did you do to your Ram today???

Oh yeah, loving this combo! Tires look awesome. Not sure why I was so on the fence about them. Total transformation with the laramie sport wheels vs the chrome big horns.


Coming from the crap nexen oem tires, in the short 10 miles home, I can tell a the tiny difference in road noise and stiffness. Feels like a truck should.

The Laramie sport wheels are the best in my opinion. Look great on 34”+ tires.


2019 Ram 1500 ORP “long bed” - setting #5 bilsteins, 2”mopar ucas, hellwig sway bar, tonneau cover, bed mat, 20” Laramie sport wheels on 285/60r20 falkens. Flowmaster outlaw.
 
Just replaced my Husky mud guards on my truck. The rear drivers side on my original set cracked for some reason. Husky sent me a full new set for free. They said I just had to destroy the original set and send pictures to prove I destroyed them. Not sure what the recourse would be if I didn't do that, other than maybe no future warranty replacements. When I installed original set, I didn't drill out the extra hole on the inside that goes through wheel well liners. Mainly because at the time I didn't even have liners in the rear. This time I chose to drill them out and use the provided screws. Makes them much more solid. Was a little funky in the rears because the brand of wheel well liners I installed had a strengthening ridge around the edge so the spring nut clip didn't sit flat until after I got the screw tight. Pics of the cracked mud guard attached.

I need to stop watching @Waterfowler41 YouTube channel.

Picked these up. They were cheap, went on easy and look decent. Rubber strips are already starting to peel up on the edges after a week. Maybe it's my work boots, maybe it's the "made in china." I'll try some rubber cement or something.

If you go this route, some soapy water and a stubby flat head works great.

Was a busy day today. Installed BedRug and adapted it to fit the MFT, Installed bed lighting, Rear window stickers had to represent the 501st, had the front windows tinted to match the rears (that was done on Friday), truck goes to the dealer on Tuesday for exhaust replacement, tips weren't even at the rear so dealer ordered new exhaust under Warranty. Now a much needed frosty cold beverage and a nice stick while I sit back and enjoy my work.

Do you have the large plastic gas pedal? I didn't see any way the gas pedal cover would fit without trimming the pedal itself.

This fits right over it. I'd assume all trims have the same gas pedal. There is a notch at the top for the gas pedal "arm."

Maybe I got a bad set then. The brushed aluminum was a 1/4" smaller than the plastic pedal, so there was no fitting it.
 
Celebrated 10,000 Miles with a full inside & out detailing. Build date 5-21 and hit 10,000 miles about 3 weeks ago. Loving the truck. Just did oil change and tire rotation so far. Took a few photos:

That tailgate is swirled all to Hell and I may eventually take care of it. That was done by the body shop when they replaced the bumper after I was rear-ended. The truck got a lot of stares at Home Depot while I was loading it up with crushed stone.
 
I couldn’t fit my hand in there… I’m going to have to loosen a panel or 2…

You'll never be able to move your arm at the angle you need to without removing the lower center cover. Luckily, it only takes 15 or so seconds if you have an electric driver and a 7mm socket.

I love that color with the black 22's. And that zebra wood. OMFG, that's the best...
 
Easy and inexpensive footwell lighting upgrade to Phillips LED 194 Blue bulbs. Left the white diffuser cover off the socket. Phew, tough day. This site offers WAY to many "To Do" items......

How did you do this.

The footwell light holder is under dash area near the hood release. My 2021 Bighorn does not have standard LED footwell lighting so the light socket has a white diffuser cover with a small bulb. You can just pull the diffuser cover off and pull the bulb from the socket. An LED 194 bulb will fit into the socket as a replacement. If the LED bulb doesn't light when you push it into the socket don't panic just reverse it in the socket and it will work. Once you see the set up you'll see its an easy mod. It's tough to get fingers to grip the bulb so I used needle nosed pliers to gently pull the bulb from socket. Careful not to break the bulb.
 
I know it’s weird I have the Non LED Bighorn too, but the Foot well lights are not accessible... it’s like in a box and have no idea how to switch them...
