What did you do to your Ram today???

That thing's a beast. Good for zombies/protestors.

Awesome and I agree, they needed a fleet of them to clear out the National Mall on Jan 6th.

Blaster Surface Shield undercoating. (Did it yesterday actually)
Like Fluid Film, but supposedly lasts 2 years and doesnt totally wash off from water spray.

A bit messy, and would be super easy with a lift.
I used the little ramps to get some working room.
Was kinda a PITA, but cheap piece of mind.

Since I support this being a picture thread, heres a picture of my greasy undercarriage.

My winter beater is in very poor condition but still drivable. I have at least one more winter, but I foresee having to drive my Ram on salted streets before long. I've been looking at another product. What I want to know is, how did you manage hitting only targeted areas? I don't see much overspray. I want to avoid things like the exhaust, wire harnesses, nuts, etc.

Painted my chrome running boards with truck bed liner. Sanded them first. Not totally dry yet. Will probably go over again w two more coats to even it out more. WAY better look View attachment 111767 View attachment 111768 View attachment 111769

I did the same to mine. I did 3 coats of bed liner and 2 coats of clear hardener. It hasn't had any issues and its been 6 months.

Got the CDT HD-690SEX installed in the rear doors! Fixed all the issues I was having. I think the higher impedance of the Infinity was killing the amp's power, and their very high sensitivity rating was causing them to scream at me over the front CDTs.

Volume level and front/rear balance is all restored and they sound really clean.

My next project is the rear wall sound deadening. Also thought about installing real crossovers on the dash infinity speakers that i have left over from a Jbl component set.

I'm going to make a thread on all this when I'm done.

I so need to upgrade the basic 6 speaker system on my rebel. Did you upgrade anything else besides the speakers?

My old 2020 Laramie had the 9 speaker alpine, and loved the sound.

I read here on the forums that if I pulled off my "Sport" stickers I could get a few extra HP or maybe some extra gas mileage. So thats what I did and also pulled off the dealer logo garbage.

I've got the amplified alpine system so I did not upgrade anything besides speakers (I also added a new sub and amp for that)

If I had the base, I'd run a amp for the doors, but you don't have to.

You can buy it in cans or 1gal/5gal buckets to spray with compressed air.
I just used the cans with those plastic spray gun attachments. The cans spray a pretty good vertical line pattern.
You could also use the red straw to go inside frame rails or get more detailed.
I had no issue keeping it off the exhaust. If I did get any on it burned off within 20min of the first drive.
Its an oily goopy gel like coating and easy to wipe off anything if you want.

Gotcha. Then I wonder if I can upgrade to the alpine...or at least work in getting more power to the speakers.

I wouldn't waste effort on that. A nice 5 channel Amp and some decent speakers/sub will blow the apline away, and would probably cost less.

I have the base 6 speaker set up.. I do have the Ecodiesel so I don't have an ANC. I replaced the back doors with Kicker 6x9's and the fronts with Kicker components. The tweeter replaced the dash speaker. I added two 12 inch JL Audio subs under the rear seat. I power them all by a 5 channel sound design amp. It is very loud and very hard. If you want to add a sub and you have the 5.7 then you will need the ANC bypass harness.

Took a trip from San Antonio to Colorado Springs last week. First big road trip with the travel trailer. Truck did better than expected for the size of the trailer. 33ft long and about 8,000 lbs. I do have the airlift set up. I kept the bags at 40psi and they worked great. Still had some sway when there was a bad crosswind. so I think I'm going to add a second sway bar to the hitch. Here is a pic of the trip. I used the cruise control about 50% of the time set at 67. There's only about 40 miles on the trip without the trailer.

Cool stickers! Are you a Marvel guy, or one of those that goes around talking about wolves and sheep?

i like explosions and heroes.

Ordered winter tires. A month ago, I purchased from another member here their 20" wheels and just ordered 275/55/20 Blizzak DM-V2s for Winter driving. They'll be put on the truck in a few days. $243 per wheel with $50 back from Bridgestone.
