What did you do to your Ram today???

I hauled 35 bags of mulch (approx 700 pounds). The Lomax was not in the way at all, allowed me to fill it just as much as I would without it, the Bedrug was amazing on my knees crawling around loading and unloading, the bed Step was clutch getting in and out, and I couldn’t imagine how different it would feel without the Hellwig installed. Overall very happy with today.
 
Baby got it's first oil change. 2374 miles. I like to do the first early to flush out any manufacturing particles floating around. I was planning to do it myself but after reading some of the stories on here related to the drain plug/sway bar placement, I decided to take it to a local shop. I didn't want to get oil all over my driveway. I'm glad I did too. They used a wide pan and it still splashed coming out when the stream hit the swaybar. What a poor design. Putting the drain plug on the side of the oil pan would have been better. The Fumoto valve was installed so I won't have this issue in the future. The oil filter was also on super tight from the factory. Getting it off while laying on my back would've been a PITA.

After over 3 weeks waiting at the dealer to get my blind spot detection fixed (Been broke from the day i bought it), I FINALLY got it back!

Washed, clayed and some light buffing to clean up a couple of very minor spots. Also applie some PPF on the front end. Had some difficulties with the large hood piece though. :cautious:

Also put in LED bed and 3rd brake lights.

Tomorrow it’s ceramic coating time! 33208

Added my Dee Zee heavy duty bed mat. I have the spray in liner already but the cargo moves around a little more than I like and the rough surface isn't so nice to more delicate finishes you toss in there, like a piece of furniture.

The rubber mat keeps things from moving and won't harm delicate finished items. I had one on my F150 for about 4 years in a bare painted bed, not once did I remove it during all those years and when I took it off for the first time, the bed looked practically brand new!
 
New plates to go with the blackout edition and my 'sickness' of Musky fishing.

A more than deserving first wash!

33222

Everyone is always talking about cleaning products, I'm all about the tools!

-Electric pressure washer (quiet and plenty powerful)
-Foam Cannon
-Leaf Blower

With the above, even the cheapest suds n shine combo will sing!

*edit* for some reason, my after teaser shot didn't upload. So I added afterwards.

The more money I pour into her, considering her cost, these warped rambox doors are testing my patience.

I read somewhere on this forum keeping weight on em after they've been in the sun might help

Let us know your results. I am trying the same thing. I put some weight on it today in this wonderful S Louisiana heat and it did lower the edge back down a little. I didn't have anything real heavy to put on it, probably 25 each end. I used a few things out of the garage. Will do both sides tomorrow and see what the results are.
 
Got my 3,127 oil change today, or yesterday. Now that the first one from the dealer is out of the way, I am trying to figure out what oil I am going to use every 3,000 miles.

We only use Full Synth at our dealership .. 5-10k changes (depending on driving habits) or 1 yr - whichever comes first
 
Not today, but had the windows tinted this past week. 18% to match the rears.33261



Last night I took the front plate off and painted plugs to fill the holes.

Decided to pull the driver's and passenger's carpets to see if I had any leaks since we had some major rain last night ..

2 inches of water sitting in the trough :'(

Looks like this is STILL and issue from the factory .. I did see that my brake and accelerator RECALLS had been done at the factory.

Did you have any signs of it before pulling them? Any musty smell or anything? I live in Florida and it’s rained a ton as usual. I’ve owned mine for 5 months now and haven’t checked but haven’t thought I needed to.
 
I bought a set of new Cooper tires that @PorBoy was selling. He threw in a set of Pro Comp 18" rims so I couldn't pass up such an awesome deal from an awesome dude! I think rather than do a winter/summer set I will just rotate between sets each time I do my tire rotation. Makes my life easier for the rotation and saves some rubber.

I live in South Carolina and this state does not require a front tag, I ordered some plastic hole plugs off Amazon and filled the four 3/8” tag bracket holes on the front bumper. My mods are now done:)
Do you have a part number? I just want to make sure I order the right thing since it sounds like what you have is just that.
 
Installed a pedal commander and made some under backseat storage.
 
Inlays came in from Reflective Concepts. Since I went with the black chrome tip borla, I'm going for a semi blacked out appearance
