Great setup here.

FWIW, I did something similar by going with the Adarac Aluminum Pro Series rack. Works perfect and I can remove it completely. I then cover the stake pockets with flush Bull-ring black chrome popup rings to maintain a clean look. Love both products. Absolutely no conflicts with my Mopar (Bakflip) hard folding cover.

Here are some pics in a post I made on another thread.


Just illustrating options.

I have been eying up the adarac pro for awhile. I love how it attaches and also love that i can run a flip tonneau like BAK, which i want as I want the bakbox2 for small tools. I also load a snowmobile in occasionally(quad cab) so the bak has my interest. Its also my work truck but I dont like to have racks on always. I like that the adarac can be removed easily.

I was thinking about the other rear bar and a single bar on roof, as a cheaper way to go and fast removal, but those certain days i need longer lumber the angled setup wont work as well.

Ive been running weekender racks for many years but they need drilling, and I hate the rust that starts on bottom of bed from below on previous trucks due to the bottom holes drilled. And I need to remove tonneau to use the weekenders.

Having the tonneau and racks all work together is awesome, as you have. I just wish the pro was available in black, I would probably get them powder coated.

Thanks for the pics, looks great!

Sorry to see that..I saw someone on here bought a set of 4 OEM flares for around $250. Id bet you can get one for cheap and paint match it. Going aftermarket on all 4 could run 600-1000 to get them paint matched and all. However if you are after more aftermarket look now is the time to do it!

I figured it would be pretty pricey to have it painted. Worth a try.
Don’t have to go for aftermarket look. That’s what the Jeep is for.

Looks good! I've been debating the debadging myself. I already removed the RAM logo on the sides but have been going back and forth on the tailgate.

Will do. A fellow forum member put these on his Big Horn stock 20s with no lift or leveling, and he reports that there’s only a slight rub against the wheel liner material at full lock turns, and he thinks the liner material can be zip locked or pinned back out of the way. His truck looks great with these tires. Here’s a link to one of his his post.
I read there is a 1 inch lift when you purchase truck with stock 20's.

That's a foam cannon hook up to hose or pressure washer.

Had it detailed Friday and parked it in the garage. I need to put the 3/8" wheel spacers and chrome tow hooks on it soon.

Nice. How did you get such a gloss on the paint?

So today I ordered the S&B CAI, black tow hooks (planning to powder coat them to match my wheels), tow hook bezels, Mopar 2" lift kit and Ihad my muffler deleted. I actually went to the muffler shop to have a Magnaflow welded on but the guy talked me out of it. He said if I wasn't happy with the delete he'd only charge me the cost of the muffler and install it for free. So, I paid $80 to have the muffler cut out and a straight pipe welded in. Sounds awesome! In my opinion it's somewhere between the MagnaFlow and FlowMaster. Next on my list will be Ridge Grapplers 35X12.5r22. After that I think I'll just enjoy the Ram even more.

Make sure you check your tailgate with the light on your license plate, mine was rubbing on the tailgate just below the crease.
