What did you do to your Ram today???

So it’s crappy out today so it’s mini-mod day in the garage… first I did the +300HP mod. (Did it the no tools way and it took maybe 30 seconds.)

Then the ‘Merica mod:

The camera makes that stand out way more than it really does. I like that it’s subtle.

Next up is the locator pins and lock knobs for the bed extender.

Ok erybady with ram boxes and a bed divider, with OR without the MFT, the threaded holes are still there in the 22’s, just plugged with plastic push pins. (driver's side shown)

So to get em out all I needed was these:

A couple broke but who cares, I’m not putting them back in. Once they’re started out, you can actually “unscrew” them since they’re crooked in the threaded holes at this point. Which is way easier than continuing to pry or dig them out. The pins/knobs I got were from the Amazons and fit perfectly, and take a Torx T50 bit, but since these holes are open and the knobs no longer factory installed, the threads are full of paint. So I used my Dremel with a small wire brush to clean them out but you still need to slowly coax the bolts into them, then they spin freely at one point for the rest of the way in.

I just kept putting them in a bit and backing them out. I also used my impact gun on LOW (of three speeds) so as not to jank the captured nuts out of place. Got em in pretty snug and they don’t need to be super tight for what they are anyway.

Did I miss something on here about 300 hp mod? where you get the flag?

Hahaa Yar it’s just the TRX red start button.

Flags I got on eBay. Look for the “8versus8” brand ones. Pretty high quality ones. Had them on my ATV and they survived that type of abuse.

307 ponies actually... but who's counting?

Hahaa I think the lines blur with the G/T cuz no one will re-rate an eTourque with a CAI and a cat back. So I just rounded off. But deep down, I’m pretending I started with 402

My butt-dyno has spoken!

My butt dyno is in great shape and speaks often, much to the chagrin of my wife!!
 
Success… beers.

I really like the wrinkle finish.

We’ll see how long it lasts. But these showed up in great shape, and seem very well made. Easy install. Biggest pain was getting the paint off the factory studs. But 6 brackets. 18 nylock nuts, 12 bolts. Pretty simple and I like the look. Not bad for 2-hundo!

Today was a good day. Played around with my Motorola MA1 car adapter, to see how well it work with my phone and the different apps. Deposited my reimbursement check from FCA, for having to get my rear window tinted again after it being replaced. Had someone come on over to give Rammy a good bath and polishing.

Reimbursement for window tint? What is the magic you speak of?!
I'm having to pay for kind to get retinted on Tuesday!
