I used chemical guys honeydew with foam canon and after wash today... I think there stuff is pretty dam good. Didn't have to complete a quick polish.

Just placed an order for some more of their stuff also. Honeydew and the foam cannon were 2 of the items. Also got the Butter Wet Wax which has awesome reviews.

I just put in the 'missing' (from Sept 2018 and later builds) seal between the bed and cab-after having the truck a week and putting 600 plus miles on it already, I can say it absolutely makes the cab quieter! I just lay on a moving blanket on the driveway, starting from the passenger side and working towards the driver side, it was really pretty easy. The 'open' side faces down and the clips were easy to push into the bed (it attaches to the bed), only hard part was getting my arms (damm gym) up and around the exhaust and gas tank. The correct part number is 6830 9888 AA, cost less than $20 and worth much more...

Installed the Air Lift 1000HD on my truck today . I carry a couple hundred pounds of tools and material at any given time and tow trailers for work and personal use. I already installed a 2.5” level kit and when I load the truck up the sag was pretty eveident . So I thought I would try them out . I got them on sale for. Under 200.00 . It was a pretty easy process. Took me about an hour . I did not do it like the instructions say and pull the springs out. I did it like I’ve seen done on GEN 4’s .- fold the bag in half , wire tie it . Jack truck up , stick spacer in first ( much easier this way),stuff bag between the springs, cut wire ties, let truck down, screw fitting on the bag ( with tubing already installed), run tubing to final location. I chose to put mine in some holes in the bed that were next to my bed lights rather than drill a hole next to my license plate . Was easy to get to by pulling the tail lights out. I also chose to plumb them individually as the tool box on my passenger side tends to carry more weight than the drivers side. The kit comes with hardware for either single or double. I may eventually install a wireless compressor but wanted to see if I like them first before dropping more money that my wife keeps yelling at me about! 3B345160-DB1D-45EB-BFBC-E14EFE6F89F9.jpeg D3592926-6A5D-4355-A4E4-F5B43A633E23.jpeg 3B345160-DB1D-45EB-BFBC-E14EFE6F89F9.jpeg D3592926-6A5D-4355-A4E4-F5B43A633E23.jpeg ,

After months of trying to get the OEM powered running boards installed by the local dealer, I gave up on them and went with the aftermarket AMP power steps. I must say build quality and function of these steps is very OEM-like to me.

The difference is the OEM ones don't give the wipers an erection! You must have hooked them up wrong.......LMAO (sorry, sick sense of humor.) Looks great on your Rebel. What wonderful trucks! I love mine with the optional fixed side steps :cool: I don't take it to any aggressive offroad situation where I would damage them. Helps prevent door dings from average height cars and diverts gravel thrown off of front tires, even though I have Mopar splash guards.

Tested out the kayak on the racks (still need to sort out the front tie down) and dropped in a bed mat.

Need to get some protection on the rear gate though as I’m constantly sliding things in and out of the truck.

Only issue I have now is a constant message about my tailgate being open. Need to look at that, think it’s a quick adjustment on the passenger side latch point.

May also get the bed step assist because there aren’t great step in points like my GMC had. That bumper was genius.

If you slam tailgate a little aggressively a few times, it seems to end the tailgate open messages.....at least it worked for me. I have had my Rebel since August and had those same messages until I closed it harder than normal. None since. If it continues then maybe actual sensor adjustment needed. Nice rig!

Nice looking combo and perfect framing of the photo! What model / size is your Airstream? I’m curious what your door sticker payload is too. We’re heading to Jackson Center, OH to see our new 27’ Globetrotter on the production line next week. I’m concerned since our ‘19 Ram 1500’s payload is 1220# but does have 3.92 axle and 33 gal. tank. Happy Camping!
I have a Flying Cloud 27FB Twin. Your payload is touch better than mine. I didn't experience any issues with towing (acceleration or braking). I have an Equalizer 1200 weight distribution hitch. I haven't been to the factory but I almost made it to an appointment there with my son see the factory but we had to cancel. Let me know what your experience was like.

Installed these decals over RAM lettering both front and back (I have a Rebel). Very happy with them. Thanks @ChadT for the link! I went with Matte Black over Gloss Black. You can also go with Red/white/blue or a combo like ChadT has. They also have other lettering/decals. Link:

@Patsy1099 what are those 2 front 7" led lights mounted on? That's a cool looking setup.

Thanks. The mount is a Senlips license plate mount/bull bumper. It’s aluminum, inexpensive and serves an awesome purpose for me. Link below


The 7” lights (as well as the 20”) are Nilight. They are very inexpensive, pretty well-made IMO. Def not like the super high end stuff out there but these things are pennies compared to what the others cost and serve my purpose. They are crazy bright. They turn night into day. I am also putting a 20” under my rear bumper (on a switch) for backing up purposes when it’s dark and backup camera can’t see well. I’m in the process of getting the switches mounted and will post back the finished result. I start 10 projects at once.

Nilight 7” pair

Nilight 20”
