What did you do to your Ram today???

No pics but stopped by my storage unit grabbed and installed 33g skid plate there. Was actually the first part I purchased to start going down the swap rabbit hole. I’m missing the 3rd strap and after thinking about it plenty of trucks came from the factory with the bigger tank and only two straps so I’ll be okay. Plenty stout even with 30 gallons in the tank. With the added skid plate and added crossmember eventually once it shows up for added protection.
 
After dealing with some issues at discount tires my wheels and tires are now installed! Setup is as follows: fuel rebel rims 20x9 with 1 offset. Toyo AT3 tires 305/55/20.

Yeah the guy won't install it but I have a plan B. Going to buy the kit $238.50 out the door (seems high) and see if another guy will put it on, if not I'm sure I can handle it.
it will drone at 1500 rpm, just a fyi.
 
Def sounds like a cracked manifold or broken stud. I've been down that road 3 times now, all cracked manifolds. How many miles?
It’s poss a mix of both . can pull that one corner I showed in the video which is right where the nut is. I have 95k
 
Looks good! Curious what the issues was at discount?
Well, I was sitting at the counter watching them work and everything went fine with removing the stock wheels and such. Then I notice they throw my old rim on the tire change machine and start mounting the new tires on the old rims with my new rims still sitting in the bed of my truck. Thankfully I was watching otherwise I would've came to pick it up and had new tires on my stock rims. They did credit me the cost of the mounting and balancing which was appreciated though.
 
I deleted my muffler and both resonators with absolutely no drone. My truck sounds like an absolute beast. I’ve even had people asking how I got that sound. Cost me 300 bucks to remove them and replace with a pipe. Best 300 bucks ever spent I highly recommend this you won’t regret. I look forward to starting my Ram for work every morning 😂
I have gone back and forth on removing my resinators, I did the muffler delete 2 days after purchase and I have been pretty happy, no drone and overall good sound. There are days I want just a bit more sound :devilish:

I think you're confusing 'issue' with 'blessing' in this situation.

Dam sounds like a win win!

I know I look like a man Karen but I don’t care I usually sit at the window and watch them. ;)

I’m telling you , delete the resonators. I promise you will continue to have no drone AND it will sound sick AF. You’ll only regret not having it done sooner !

Yeah, I was able to get a seat at the window and was working while I waited and my truck happened to be in the bay closest to me so I was able to watch everything.
 
Got a LineX spray-in bed liner installed in my new build (factory order) this morning. Before and After.
Went with the Standard rather than the Premium. Although the Premium was only $100 more for the UV protection, the samples felt like they were slippery and I didn't particularly like the shine.

I figure the Standard will holdup well... we'll see, and I expect I'll have the tonneau cover on a lot of the time, so that should help it not fade in the UV.
