What did you do to your Ram today???

[BlckDT]

Installed the AVS window vents and Weathertech mudflaps. Also tried to install an AVS Bug Deflector but decided to return it due to scratches and scuffs.

Do you have a pick of how the AVS window vents look? Also, how well do you feel they will hold up? In-Channel? I'm getting ready to pull the trigger but I was always a WeatherTech person, and they don't have the 19' WeatherTech window vents yet.

I have always used the stick on AVS window vents. I think they look good and will be glad to a picture if you still want one. I don't like the idea of having something in the window channel. I'm afraid it would mess up the seal.

I looked at mine and considered moving it so I could drive my Miata, which hasn't been run in about 3 weeks. But it looked like rain and I didn't have the top up, so I did nothing and drove my other car. Which was fortuitous since it rained on the way in .

Am about to get a truck cap on mine. I think I'm ordering it this weekend. The Leer 100XR model. I have a love/hate relationship with caps but I'm just getting tired of trying to pile table saws and chop saws in the back seat when it's about to rain or when I want to stop off and get some lunch without coming out and seeing all my crap gone.

Update: Auto Ventshade requested pictures, etc. They agreed to send a new AVS Bug Deflector to me and asked I recycle the old one. If anyone in my area, East Texas would like a free bug shield, you're welcome to to have the one with scuffs, free. It's really not bad.

What are the different options you chose? What made you want to trade out so fast, was the hit bad?

Ordered my Bedrug XLT from Luke at Truck Alterations. Hoping it comes before my road trip to the Keys next Thursday.

 

[CTrainDVM]

Had my 2019 Rebel for a week now! Got a spray in bed liner done by a local shop and put a rubber mat in the bed. Swapped air filter for K&N. Swapped the stock muffler out with a Cherry Bomb Xtreme. Great sounds start up and when accelerating . Drone is almost non-existent. I have a Truxedo tonneau cover coming in next week

I am both simultaneously shocked and impressed by all the moves to get to the truck you want! I debated trading mine in for a new one with very minor changes too and really felt bad I was so far down the "first world problems" rabbit hole that I got it out of my mind. Your local vehicle registration office has to be thinking you are playing a joke on them at this point!

 

[Lil Miss Always Wrong]

What are the different options you chose? What made you want to trade out so fast, was the hit bad?

Here are the 5 options/reasons i upgraded:
#1 Mine sitting next to hubs on driveway with his LED's EVERYDAY made me begin to hate "the look" of the front of mine with the halogens. Plus the taillights with the black ring & black covers look much sleeker to me : )







NOW they are truly symbiotic : )



#2 Its no secret HOW 'bamboozled" i felt AFTER purchasing that having a radio without NAV hence not having ANY remote features thru Guardian...
#3 When we were on the lot trading hub's for a 4x4 and i saw the newly designed 2019 RAMBOX up front & personal, i wanted them soooo bad : )
#4 Pano Roof (while AT FIRST didn't impress me much : ) became a "must have for me" once my hub got it in his 4x4
#5 i missed Blind Spot monitoring MORE than i thought i would (i had it in my from my Genesis G80)

The "hit" if you do the math would prolly cause most to say, "i don't have to have the upgrade & not do it"....But our credit union gave us a great rate for going 84 months, so in the "short term if you you are a payment shopper (which i never was BUT became one yesterday : ) had payment go from $802.00 to $640.00 (so i easily rationalized "WORTH it!" : )

lol...Honestly is has been quite a journey AND i am sure you can't imagine one one/trillioneth of what i put myself, my husband & about 10 dealers thru...lol BUT at the end of my rainbow was my absolute "perfect truck" and i know this becuz i have had 15 RAMS and none of them have EVER ticked "every single box" for me like this one (NOR had my name on the window sticker : )

And there were many days i felt like "first world problem smacking myself"...many times i just said, i'll just keep her, she's awesome".....when i first bought her, she was the ONLY Blk Appear Pkge 3.92 geared Alpine Equip Group 2 within a 200 mile radius i could find... .BUT while i was absolutely thrilled EVERY DAY driving Black Beauty The First, (as my zillion posts in here about her can attest to : ) i was haunted on a daily basis as well by all the things she could have BUT DIDN'T ("for just a few dollars more" as the saying goes just played in my head constantly...lol : ) And once i decided to extend my loan term and payment dropped $150 to upgrade, it really was a "no brainer" for this nutcase...lol

AND btw, Pano/Blind Spot/LED's/ NAV & RAMBOX are not MINOR! grrrr! lol j/k : ) Curious what "minor" changes you'd make if you did upgrade?! Or do we want to not even go down that rabbit hole again by giving details & getting the "upgrade juices " flowing again"? if not, i so get it : )

Glad you are pleased
Can't remember if mine has remote start, will see when it gets here, might have to start wearing my Apple Watch again!

 

[Jzelbst]

Finally getting my windows tinted. I slacked on this for awhile but it's summer in El Paso and I can't delay anymore.

UNLESS its different in UK, ALL 12" Uconnects come with "remote operation" ability. I had it in my 2016 Laramie BUT at that time i didn't have an Apple Watch so didn't really use that function... But NOW,...."whole 'nother story" : )

i mean the 30-60 second delay seems like a "long wait" IF ur just standing NEXT to it... But if ur not yet out and you're getting ready and you just use your watch instead of hunting for your phone or key fob to either "heat it up/cool it down", having watch ap is invaluable : )

 

[Willwork4truck]

That explains why it looks so awesome

Gorgeous! I’d have taken black if someone else took care of it. The (yellow) pollen here in NC is murder on black finishes (as far as showing up that is)...

I understand, totally. I traded in a perfectly good 2014 Jeep for a 2017 Jeep...for a 2019 Ram. I am seriously bothered by the tow mirrors above everything else that I find much more minor. Instead of spend $1k+ to upgrade the mirrors when I already paid $500 to "upgrade" to the tow mirrors, I thought instead of spending the money out of my pocket, I may be able to switch mine for a similar one and maybe lose $1-2k in the process, but since it would be in the loan, it would be maybe $20 per month more versus $1,500 out of pocket costs now for the new mirrors. I would have gotten the rear wheel well liners (I installed those myself aftermarket anyway) and the 33 gallon tank if I built it again. The liners and the gas tank are definitely not worth the hassle, but the mirrors just aggravate me enough that I debated trading in the whole truck. The cost wasn't my issue with this honestly. It was the hassle of re-financing, titling, registering, re-insuring and rebuying another truck. If I could have paid them somehow and not had to redo all that, I would have. For all that hassle, I am sure in one or two years they are going to come out with a new Rebel package that I will love that will be worth the effort to trade mine in for, so I will just live with my tow mirrors (which I don't mind, but I feel like I was misled about). I love everything else about the truck, so this is all very petty first world problems as I said!
