What did you do to your Ram today???

Changed Cargo and CHMSL to LED. Unbelievable to me those where the only bulbs not led. I didn’t even realize it until I came across a post here earlier. I can’t think of a reason not to use LED.
 
Gave rig a good bath and replaced cargo and center stop lamps with bright LEDs. Replaced rear hollow sway bar with beefier Hellwig bar. After reading of others with road grit damage to paint on wheel flares, sounds like mud flaps are really needed to protect truck especially with any tire-wheel changes that move tire outboard. My Rebel has flat black unpainted oem flares and I added Mopar accessory mudflaps when truck was brand new so I luckily made the right choice as we live on a long gravel driveway. :cool: Replaced RAM front letter decals that were a tad too orange with a closer match to flame red PR4 paint color. Installed the matte black TRX letters on both rear quarter panels. I think it makes Rebel look sick as it needs something more on side and 4x4 offroad is for the other trim levels with off road package. What do you think? Photos color didn't come out very well. iPhone xr.IMG_2772.jpgIMG_2768.jpgIMG_2790.jpgIMG_2787.jpgIMG_2788.jpgIMG_2772.jpgIMG_2768.jpg

There’s several threads on here about mud flaps. I just installed the WeatherTech flaps which a lot of others have installed. Easy install and I think they look nice.

Installed the Magnaflow cat back exhaust... Will say installing this alone is a bit of a pain. I recommend getting some one to help here and there. The outlets are a tiny bit off but it's not that noticeable from a distance. Have to be close up and at the level of them. The left one does interfere a little when the bed step is deployed.

My brakes have the squeaks

Irritating. Not a big deal but irritating.

Only when they get warm do they do this.

Beautiful day for a wash in Sacramento county.View attachment 19170
Man that is a bada$$ looking truck. I can’t wait till mine comes in! I washed my Tundra double cab with the 6’5” bed for the last time today, I hope I don’t regret getting the smaller bed with my Ram.
 
Bought a Rebel last Saturday and got the bed cover, tracks and racks installed on Thursday. This should make it more versatile than my last truck. Tomorrow up to the mountains for its first ski trip.

Next step is the ham radio install.

Thanks it’s coming along. I’m not a fan of the short bed I went with 6’4 bed.
 
Picked up my Laramie late last night. MX4 and full beg rug ordered $1100. Chrome running boards at dealer Monday $467. That should do me for awhile

The stainless steel hose clamp next to rubber hanger block to keep blocks side to side play biased will fix Magnaflow exhaust tip alignment. Just did it a couple of days ago. 5 minutes and 2 small to medium ss screw clamps. Didn't loosen any of exhaust hardware. Just got out big channel lock slip joint water pump pliers and slid rubber block in direction that makes tips align and tighten clamp down on rod. :cool:

Put the cab to bed seal in. Not too difficult but sort of a PITA getting around the gas tank, driveshaft, and exhaust.
What exactly is it? Does the bed need to be sealed to the cab? I thought there could be space in between them no problem.
 
Not a big mod, but I installed the Tonneau cover today. First time installing one so I’m hoping it protects against the rain... :)

Post #14 and part #2 in below link. Supposed to cut down on wind noise coming in thru rear vent behind back seats. Time will tell. It seems like it does, but haven’t driven enough yet to give complete review.

 
Took her home last night! This morning installed new BFG KO2's 275/65R20, look and drive great, zero rubbing on stock rims and stock ORP (non-air) suspension. She was supposed to get a 'clear bra' today but they cannot get to it till mid week...Tomorrow, I tackle removal of the factory power running boards and replacement with the Ram Off Road boards...Hopefully it goes smoothly!
