Jealous. I've been wanting to do this myself but I have no need for a 2500 and don't want the added payment lol. Looks great!

I was looking but not actively pursuing a purchase until I ran across this truck. It’s a 2022 (but new) so the dealership offered a price I couldn’t walk away from. And it has a lot of options on it for a Bighorn and still has 2,921 pounds of payload capacity

Anytime you hook up a heavy trailer to a 1500, even within the tow ratings of the 1500, you'll dream of a 2500. I've owned a Dakota, 360 gasser 2500, 2004 CTD 2500, 2007 3500 C&C CTD, 2019 3500 SRW CTD HO and now a 1500. I don't miss the 2500's or 3500's, but if I were to go back into RVing I would at least get a 2500. 1500's are good for small boat and utility trailers, but not RV's maxing out your 1500 GCWR.
LoNeStAr, good choice stepping up to the 2500, is it gas or diesel?

This happened today. Full review and over view thread coming soon.
RCI Engine skid (that includes the part that goes between first cross member and the bumper), tranny skid, and t-case skid. Tranny skid also has cat shield/ guard/ cover to prevent pathetic lowlifes from cutting my cat when i have to leave the truck unattended outside.

I always pre-lube my filters, though I only add enough to soak into the element. Probably doesn't make much difference, but I feel better knowing that the only thing the oil needs to do when it hits the filter at startup is flow.

Best setup I've seen yet. I'll be following to see how durable it is for you.
Sorry this is long overdue lol so I’ll catch up with all the days I missed. I’m starting somewhat of a full build revamp and these are the first few additions. First I added some Baja Designs XL80s on SDHQ A pillar mounts. Previously I was running BD Squadrons on Putco mounts but they just weren’t doing anything as soon as I turned my grille lights on, so I wanted to upgrade. The XL80s are insane! The S2 pros are just there for fun until I get the thing that they’ll be going on (it’s a secret lol). Then I bought some chrome grill trim pieces but I wanted it more subtle so I brushed the finish with scotchbrite pads. Much higher end look in my opinion. Then I swapped out my aftermarket mirrors back to the OEM tow mirrors and added paint matched caps and new lights. For $70 on eBay the paint matched caps are amazing quality! For the lights I used boostauto’s 2.0 wiring harness to allow them to be full time running lights that also work as turn signals. For the lights themselves I went with Aexplorer clear lens LEDs instead of boostauto’s because boost’s have an ugly bulge and their running light is white, I wanted amber running lights since I have amber DRLs programmed in my OEM headlights as well. Oh and it wasn’t “today” but it was this month - I won 4th overall at Fall Fest, an all mopar event at Angel Stadium! Pretty rad. I highly recommend all those products I mentioned - even the *ridiculously overpriced” wiring harness from boost lol. Stay tuned, there’s a lot more coming soon

My truck got nailed by golf-ball size hail back at the end of June. I had to wait for a turn with a paintless dent repair guru.
I picked it up a week ago, Friday.
It was flawless. Literally. I went over it with a dent screen and couldn't find a ripple. Some of the impacts were deep, right on the curve of the roof just above the windshield and also next to the third brake light. Tough spots, and deep. Lots on the hood, body sides, etc.
Here's a shoutout to Triad Dent Removal. He works in North Carolina, in the Winston-Salem/Greensboro area. Website: Triad Dent Removal | Hail Damage Repair
I could not be happier.
(Bonus: he got a tough crease out of my rear passenger door. The one a parking lot idiot gave me when the truck was only a month old.)

Installed the updated third brake light with Lastfit LED bulbs, no errors as of yet. The cargo light is actually useful now and matches the OEM bed lighting. Was going to get LED tail light housings but may just go the Lastfit route

I went with Lastit in all of my Halogen locations. I couldn’t be happier with that decision. The brightness and crispness of the Lasfit LED’s is perfect for me. And budget friendly.

Just saw this. I'll take a few pics in a bit. You can still see pinch weld but.... On the motors, the cut out where bolt goes thru is oblong. I'm gonna try to loosen, push them up a little higher and tighten

it is durable. not my first RCI product that I've used.
Fit and material construction are both on par with the set I used to own and dragged through rocks multiple times.
You can find me write up in the modifications and accessories forum
you must've put it on with your sea-legs! still looks good with the lines on our trucks. i honestly probly wouldn't have noticed if you didn't say it.I don't have the MFT, but similar to this. Don't mine it being slightly crooked.
exploding?!Drove it to lunch. Hit 14k, 13k of which were with the lowering kit, trouble free miles… other than the back window exploding.

Someone may already have said this (i'm still playing catch-up with the thread) but "Check FADFIRST" is just "Check front axle differential first" abbreviated with no space.

I replaced all 3 dash speakers today with JL AUDIO C2 speakers . Incredible difference. Ready to replace front doors with Kicker KS .
