What did you do to your Ram today???

Thanks! I already had the 12" Uconnect stereo, I just got the protector to protect it. When you have kids and accidents happen, it's a small price to pay.

I have the 8.4 and i actually just ordered a tempered glass protector for mine. Figured if i put them on a phone i have for 2 years i should put one on a screen ill have for 6-8 years.
 
Yesterday actually but fully detailed her since picking her up a week ago.

Went with carpro reload on everything as I did not have the time, garage, or will to do UK CQuartz on such a large beast. Did two coats and will see how it goes. For the wheels used Carpro Hydro2...so easy and seems to work well.

Picked up the truck late last night (well, not late. 6:30 PM) after the service dept had closed. Battery was dead so a sales guy had to jump me, while also check engine light on. Battery dead again this morning, so I had to jump it.
Took it back and dropped it off, so back on another rental today and taking time off work. Hope is nothing serious and I can have my vehicle back soon. Will update once I know more...

Picked up truck on Thursday morning. They said everything checked out OK. Well, by the time I left work it almost didn't start. Once I got home and tried starting the battery was dead. Unplugged dash cam and radar detector, charged battery overnight, and within two hours, battery dead again. Just dropped it off again and told then to keep it all week if needed, but fix this annoying issue. My patience is wearing thin. Of course CarPlay started working as I got to the dealer, so they can't even fix that as it's working fine when they have it....

Hope they get that worked out for you soon and it doesn't linger on..
 
I drove into a parking bollard. luckily I only scraped and dented the rear corner of the cab after the door, and the rear bed panel from the cab to the wheel.

well, now it;s not new anymore and my wife isn't afraid of driving it since I drew first blood. I was hoping to hold onto that new car feeling till after the factory oil gets changed out.

but, now that it is not new it is time to really have some fun and get hacking on it. I'm thinking about adding 360cam to it via the cargo camera input.

I'm seriously thinking about this system here.

SHXT happens. no injury, single party collision, 500 dollar deductible and time in shop. things could be a LOT worse. the scrape didnt touch the wheel, the door and if I had a paint booth I feel pretty good about being able to pull the dents, smooth it, and have it all back to pristine on my own.

I come from a large family of auto body mechanics so I have spent a fair bit of time pulling sheet metal back into shape.

What’s the best plan for a tiny door ding, that got into the paint?

PDR and perhaps touch up the chipped part. Depending on where it's located, you may not be able to tell.

Any idea where to find a good person to "touch-up"? I have a deep scratch on my bumper but every shop i get a quote at wants to fully repaint the nbumper for $750+. All i want to do is touch up but seems nobody wants to do that.

Sorry. I'm in TX so would not know anyone in your area.

Cheers,
 
This has been over the last few weeks but finally was able to give it a light wash and take some pics. Added: Motofab 2.5 inch level. 285x65x20 Nitto Ridgegrapplers. 20x9 +1 Fuel Contras Matte Black. Lomax Hard-Tri Fold. Also have the Borla Atak, been running for a few months now. Blackout emblems next and other mods after the holidays to finish it up.

Looks great, but are we ever truly finished with mods?

Finally installed my TAZER RAM to do light show,

Any chance you can export that light show file and PM or post it up to share? that's the best one i've seen yet and I'm having issues getting mine to blink at that correct rate even after setting the lamps to LED... or even a screenshot of the show setup would be awesome! TIA!

It came with that as a default 1-6 show. Doesn’t show files or sequences anywhere.
