What did you do to your Ram today???

and that's the reason I stay single lol
I go when I want, where I want, and with who I want. No need to check the S/O or family's schedule and definitely no permission/ hall pass needed.
If i was married/ in a relationship there would be no way that I finish my build with my spec within month and half after taking delivery of the truck lol

but i heard having kids and watch them grow up is fulfilling sometimes too.
Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't trade my present life for nothing!😊

I'd certainly tweak it a little tho....🫣

hahaha yeah ive determined that whole process is not for me. i much rather be getting things to work on vehicles than getting things to work with people :sneaky: but marriage and kids sound fulfilling.
 
Installed OEM skid plates including one skid plate from the TRX (part 68442381AB). This is the silver skid plate in the photos. It requires drilling two holes on the front side but I like how it completes coverage through the middle and more completely protects the transfer case and cooler.

That was the first mod that I did when I bought my truck. Bought a set at the dealer and swapped them out within minutes of signing.
 
Hellwig sway bar installed.
It makes a difference.

CORE 4x4 links next to accommodate the 2" rear lift.

I installed the CORE 4x4 end links.
They're certainly more stout than the OEM links 👍, but I think they could've provided some more appropriate bolts.
The top bolt has a long enough shank about the length of the sleeve it fits through , but it's a little short in the thread department 👎.

The lower bolts are fully threaded and have no shank 👎. I'm going to have to replace them with a shank bolt and longer threads. These too are too short and there isn't enough extra thread for my liking.
:confused:

These are 2" longer than stock for my lift.

Looks like the threads are flush with the end of the nut with the nylock insert. Which would out them about 2-3 threads oast the end of the threads in nut. About ideal if you ask me.

I could probably live with that if the bolt wasn't fully threaded. The loaded surface should be a smooth shank.
 
I couldn’t live without a truck. Especially with my buying and selling hobby. My daughter even got me a T-shirt made cause I’m always “Wheelin and Dealin” on something!
Lately it’s been boats all 3 seasons and snowblowers in the winter. Couldn’t do that with any other vehicle. Well….a guy can make anything work I guess, but why would you when you can do it with a RAM!!!

I think they sent you the wrong bolts. I've purchased Core 4x4 rear end links twice and both sets came with smooth shank bolts
