What did you do to your Ram today???

Busy weekend with installs…

Finished up the Hellwig sway bar with core 4x4 links
Corrected the speedometer calibration with the hyper tech speedometer tool
Installed the GoRhino RB20 steps (kids and wife approved)
S&B cold air intake
Sequential mirror turn signals
And finally some custom caliper covers to add a bit of color behind the wheels

Next up: Bilstein shocks/struts to settle down the Readylift a tad and then some type of exhaust. Go back and forth between Borla Sport and Corsa systems.
Nice job on the cover! I was going to do the same thing with the RC covers only in blue to match the blue emblem on hood. I really like the white with the black Ram decals and may now go that color combo on my white truck. The stock red with RC on them look cheesy. What you did looks really nice.
 
Felt like I've been neglecting my Ram lately. So, bought some goodies for it that should hopefully be arriving soon:

Lasfit LED bulbs since the premium lighting option wasn't available when I ordered my truck.
Sprint Booster
Cupholder Hero liners
 
Put some 37x12.50r18 nittos on it. Minor trimming up front, back clears fine. Full turning lock to lock

Received and installed the Sprint Booster today. I run the Pedal Commander in both my Jeep and 4Runner, so I was quite surprised at just how tiny this thing is.

I'll have to do some more driving around with it to dial in my favored setting, but, I'm liking Race 3 at the moment.

One new sensor and lots of time playing with Alfa ODB:
Replaced the humidity sensor with one that also does rain sense for the windshield wipers
Programmed rain sense wipers, auto dimming brights, off-road pages, fog light dropout, and modified the setting on my heated seats and steering wheel.
What did you do to get the auto high beams to work?

Followed the instructions over here:


This lists the settings you need to change in the computer for Auto High Beam. Once you make the modification to the computer, you still need to go into the radio under “lights” and turn on the auto dimming.
 
Of the 5 shops approved by my insurer in my city, the earliest availability I found was the middle of February. I could go ahead and use a non-approved site, but I would need to pay for the repairs upfront and then be reimbursed. I ain't playin that game.

There is a shop in a neighboring city (90mins away) that has a 3 week lead time but I chose not to go with them. I was worried that should there be a need for follow-up work after the repair, I would have to drive 3 hours (round trip), lose business days, and coordinate trans-city transportation on each occasion, as work is guaranteed by the repair facility and not by the insurer.

Since the other party was found to be 100% at fault, my rental is not costing me anything and I get to keep the car until I get the truck back. It hurts not having my truck while paying for it, but in the grand scheme of things......it could be a lot worse.
Getting parts right now is insane also. My wife smacked a deer 2.5 months ago with her Cherokee and we're still waiting on parts. Luckily it's driveable, just looks like crap ha.
 
Test fit my friend’s Dark Dune rear light bracket on my truck. Kind of jealous, the build quality is awesome. I have a different rear lighting solution showing up soon but the DD bracket is pretty awesome.

Just a quick video as there isn’t much on the inter webs as far as installation instructions. Yes my truck is dirty, it will be for most of winter…

 
OE backup lights are nothing to brag about, but I'm needing better lighting on my back tires. Starting to think maybe rock lights in the wheel wells? I would ONLY use them when necessary.
 
Man, now I wish I went with 37s. Love the stuffed look.
yeah had 35's still left too much gap, I do have a carli lift on it but its slightly modified/different, using rock jock jt rear springs so it got more lift out of the rear but holds weight much better.

That's what I don't wanna hear.

Inspection all in the way in February should not be combined with 3 months waiting for parts after the fact. Then add on labor times.....

Summer before I'm back in my ride!!!

😒
 
Brought my 3 week old truck into my heated shop for complete detail and rust protection. Clay bar then 2 coats of griots ceramic wax 24 hrs apart. 303 on all plastic trim inside and out.
Blaster surface shield on everything underneath. Inside frame inside bottom door edges and rockers.
Installed rough country wheel well liners. Kinda wish I went with mopar that might fit better.B229DFBC-FF17-4327-9ED2-A240A5079E12.jpegAC39EB4A-193C-4C96-A010-BE377C243493.jpeg
Now to figure out what else I want to do with this thing.
 
Received my Lasfit LEDs today and got the interior lights installed. It looks so much better in the cab now. Looking forward to getting the exterior lights installed next.

Which Lasfits did you order and which lights did you replace? Might you have some pics?
Thanks.
