What did you do to your Ram today???

Got the exterior lights installed today. Holding off on the tail lights until I pick up some rear turn signal bulbs so I can do all of those at once. Looking forward to seeing how much better these look once it gets dark.

S&B Intake arrived today as well. That's the next project on my list.

Not on truck yet, but I started on my bed power distribution box. 5 switches panel is overkill, and I honestly think I just need 2 switches. But knowing myself, I may want to add on more switched accessories later down the line.
At this time, I am waiting for longer bolts for me to mount this on the bed rail above my Decked system, then Ill be ready to run wires to battery.

I started on rear heated seats, now its getting cold like to have them in back for my kids, I got them from leatherseats.com as I like to have a product tied to someone I can talk to if needed.
I love these projects but this is bigger than I thought, got the single seat done but the double one is not an easy disassemble. I took my time and documented all the clips and where they went.
About 4 hours to do single seat and 2 hours to get power from the fuse panel under center console, prediciting 6 hours for the double seat as there is a lot of fabric to clip back inIMG_0494.jpgIMG_0493.jpgIMG_0492.jpg
 
Got the chase lights installed and wired up, and ran the wires along the frame.

Also installed the power box. Unfortunately I cannot do basic math so I ended up with 3 ring terminals short for the power cable. Therefore, I simply ziptied the wires to bed rail and call it a day. Next, I need to make holes for bed and camp light wires.

Oh, and also installed some Christmas lights for... Christmas!
 
I’m surprised you didn’t get the bed linex’d prior to installing everything.

thought about it but decided no need. Im not gonna use it to haul stuff and with the Decked and bed rails in there there's no contact point on the side anyways. I have a Mountain Hatch on order so I'm not worried about the tailgate either.

I absolutely love this rig.
 
My son and I put in a set of Air Lift 1000's in his 2020 1500 a couple days ago. Install was pretty straightforward and took about two hours' time taking our time and BS-ing. He installed the valves as his license plate bolts.

The tide has changed, it was nice being the helper, holding light, handing tools and supplies for a change.

BTW, he's starting to have issues filling his tank with the pump shutting off before full.

I had this issue. For some reason, running it down really close to empty and letting it sit for awhile made it go away.

I can attest, the backseat is a royal pain in the butt lol. In my opinion it was way easier putting it back together than it was removing it though so hopefully the same is true for you!

I had these issues with my 17 and I believe that using a short nozzle or not being able to fully insert the nozzle causes the vent line to fill with fuel. Letting it sit for 3+ days allowed for this fuel to either drain out or evaporate.

There is a TSB for fuel tank for that issue.
