Sheared a bolt in half while installing GoRhino Dominator D6 running boards. Hopefully the warranty team will get back to me with a new bolt and bracket? I hope.View attachment 21317View attachment 21318

Exactly why I usually don't use nuts and bolts in a kit unless they have grade markings on them. Those don't.
You might want to visit your local hardware store and get at least Grade 5 bolts to replace the ones in the kit. Grade 8 if you really want to tighten them good.
Peace of mind.

I know everybody is blacking everything out but my son has joined the Marine Corp so I am feeling extremely patriotic.View attachment 21332

I’ve been waiting for someone to do the flag. I might do the same. Looks good. Do you have a link?

Well, it was actually 2 days ago, but slapped my AFE CAI on Max. He loves it.
View attachment 14054

I installed this on my longhorn 5.7 hemi. * IMPORTANT* - AFE claims up to 18 HP and 23 Lbs torque gains. My truck was quicker and had more torque with the stock intake. after installing the afe stage 2 CAI I instantly felt it gave my truck a slight, "Sluggish" performance drop. So from a performance perspective I wasn't pleased at all to say the least.. But what it did do was totally enhance the sound of my truck with the magnaflow exhaust installed. It really brought the hemi to life!

I don’t have the link to the exact ones, but you can find it in one of the recent wheel spacers threads. They were $80 cheaper than Bora’s.

I originally purchased the 2" but it made my 12" wide tires rub to much. Replaced with 1.5" and they fit snug! *Buyers take note. at the top of the page it sates "this product does not fit your 2019 dodge ram". not true they fit perfectly against the hub. Fact

 

[MValdez]

What’s your impression? Any difference in sound?

YES! I have the magnaflow exhaust on my truck and this CAI made my truck sound so much better! I did loose a little power though. my truck was quicker and had more torque with The Stock intake . TRUE fact

Installed my Mopar bed step. I was hesitant to order it due to the cost, but I have to say, it’s well made, very solid and works great. Bit of s PITA to install on my back on a creeper, but no issues. Should have ordered it from the factory and saved myself a few bucks.
Bought the bed to cab seal as well so that is next.

How close does the bedstep sit next to the exhaust pipe? I have the magnaflow exhaust and the exhaust tips are bigger than stock. I am weary that the bedstep wont fit because of them.

Just finished installing Amp Research Bed Extender. This will be used as a bed divider since I really don't care for the Ram Cargo Divider that slides on the rails...

I got one too. Love it. I am not a fan of the sport model with it's angled edges.. The HD max is the way to go ...

Installed the magnaflow catback pn 19430, frkin awesome sound. Also added the truxedo pro x15, nice cover with a canvas/fabric look.

You should get the afe stage 2 CAI. Makes the magnaflow sound 3x better. really brings the hemi to life

Hooked the wire in for the bed lights under the rear door sill and chasing to the View attachment 21312View attachment 21312View attachment 21313View attachment 21314View attachment 21314back was like wrestling a greased pig.
Hooked in some 20 dollar EBAY lights

Nice post and pics. Exactly my plan! But I couldn’t decide which eBay light would work... can you share a link to what you bought, and show a pic of how you mounted those lights please? Did you re-use the plastic plugs as mounting brackets? Do you think they are too bright or just right? EDIT: I asked over on the bed lighting kit thread so we can keep the topic going there.

I just learned about Bead Maker this past month on a Porsche site. I was sceptical but I order some and tried it out on the truck - amazing product!! The results are impressive and you can use it on almost anything! Highly recommend it

For abuff, polish and ceramic coating, it was about $850. I would probably recommend doing a second coating on it which would be an additional $400, however, I have started using a product called bead maker and it is INSANE how much smoother the coating is afterwards. It helps the ceramic coating to last a little bit longer than it normally would.

Here is a video on it.

If you don't end up doing a ceramic coating, at least do the Bead Maker once in awhile. You will be blown away with the results.

Really? I gained .2 on my 0-60 from just the AFE.

Did you see the video above that compared it to Nano Shock? It appears you may be even happier with the Nano Shock versus the BM.

That may just be the difference in weather conditions (temp, humidity...etc.) VERY hard to state what you stated above because there are WAY too many variables involved.

I will have to give it a try. Looks very similar with a similar price. Thanks for the recommendation!
