What did you do to your Ram today???

This is my first Ram purchase! I honestly think it is just due to the social media presence on my Instagram account. They contacted me through IG to get my shipping address. I haven't done anything unique or above and beyond to make myself stand apart from a loyalty standpoint.

Is it asking to much to ask ram to fix their leaking/cracked rear windows and exhaust manifolds since you’ve made it into their secret club.
 
Had my 22x10 GT strikes mounted and balanced -18 offset with the same Mickey Thompsons Baja ATS 285/55
Equivalent poke as the short-term 2" hub spacers.

Agree.

My dad taught me, backing up tractors and trailers around the house when I was around 12 years old, that the trailer would move in the direction the bottom of the steering wheel was rotated towards. To this day, 50+ years later, I'm reminded of this lesson every time I back up a trailer.

Bullet Point Mounting RubiGrid installed for my radio gear. Actually installed it last week, but had guesstimated the arm lengths, so put the right ones on now. And still room for another arm for something later.

Installed Bilstein B12 rear 1.5” coils and 5100 Shocks to balance out my truck. Prior measurements equated to 1/4” difference from ground to center wheel well height. And occasionally my truck would look squatted depending on parking surface or load. The new rear suspension brings the rake to 3/4” which sits much better IMO. The ride has improved as well vs the 1” Motofab spacers, stock springs and stock shocks. Smooth sailing over the usual railroad tracks on daily drives.

Also installed MetalCloak Jeep JT extended bump stops. As well as Core 4x4 Panhard/Track bar.

More stance pictures to follow when the weather improves in the Great NE.

The ride has dramatically improved. And it didn’t drive bad, per se, with the Motofab spacers. But now with the Bilstein coils and shocks, the rear doesn’t sway as much on turns and when going over railroad tracks, bridges etc, it’s not bouncy. The shocks and coils return the suspension almost immediately. If that makes sense. Haven’t had a heavy load in the bed yet, but will be hauling some river rock for some landscaping in the near future. So I’ll fill you in on the MetalCkoaks then. As far as first impression, they are a bit more stout and def longer than the stockers. Easy install too. Little dawn soap and they popped right into place. Old ones pulled right out.
 
Well, now I have "clunk" when doing turns in slow speeds. Thinking maybe sway bar bushings... correct me if I'm wrong, but I could disconnect my sway bar in the front and drive, right? If sound is gone then it's the endlinks, if sound persist, then its something else..?
 
Well, this happened today.

Royalties?

no lol
i pay for stuff with my own money and use and abuse them. I reached out to them because their stuff are well made and is actually an integral part of my build. The drawer was the first thing that went into my truck after I took delivery in 2022 lol.

unlike many people who ask for sponsorship to promote (or "special deals" to promote) with nothing to show for (trust, it's common in this industry... i part time as IT for a carbon fiber parts company and boy... seen too many sponsor requests from people who got nothing to show for), I do things the other way lol.
 
Nice job, I have admired your setup for awhile now. I did a covid project overland trailer with RTT, sink, onboard water, grill, lighting, and a torsion axle with Rubicon rims and 35s
 
Started with an old Atlas Copco air compressor trailer, chopped off the back, added Willys tailgate, moved the axle up, put in a floor, made fenders, frame, etc. maybe I'll put up a build thread in the offroad section, got some wheel adaptors so I could run rubi wheels and put the same tires that are on the Jeep. Has a Smittybuilt Overlander II tent on top with an awning off the other side where the slide out gas grill is

Came out pretty good, only reason I ever bought the trailer is it was dirt cheap and had a lunette ring on the front so I could get me a cool looking pintle hitch lol. I flipped the ring mount over so it would level out pretty close to the Jeep. And yes, rustoleum tractor red is a little different then flame red.
