What did you do to your Ram today???

Spray in bedliner- Upol Raptor; Bull rings rear and painted calipers.

I used some high heat stencils and silver under black high heat paints on the calipers.
Any more info on the painted calipers?
 
Awesome looking front end and rear end... LOL.
Haha! The curves on the body just bring it all together. I feel confident in saying I have the "sexiest" truck in this thread. :LOL:

Sure.

I used the following high heat sprays

Primer, Silver, Black and clear.

After the primer, I used silver- it took 4 coats to get the coverage I was looking for.

I used a heat gun to speed the drying process a bit.

Then I applied high heat stencils and covered everything with Black- 4 coats again.

I used a razor blade to carefully lift the stencils and then covered with clear coat- 3 coats.

I did clean the calipers first with a degreaser and then did an alcohol wipe down as well.

I hope this helps.

Cut down a tree yesterday. Brought some wood to my friend since I rarely use the fireplace, especially with this warm winter.
 
Mopar window deflectors, actually installed these on 1/14 before a trip to the NC mountains for my birthday. Mostly used WeatherTech and AVS in the past but wanted to try these. Had to pull the weather strip out to get the rear clips in but otherwise no worries. Don't know how the motion pics happened...T:D

Installed some wanna be raptor style running lights yesterday.
Looks great. Do you mind sharing which ones you got? I've seen a bunch on the Rebel grille but have not been sure which would fit between the slats of the other style.

Did you need to do a bunch of fab to mount them?

what you wire them to? Do they come on with your oem running lights?
I have them running to my trigger 4 light module. I have those along with my hood hinge lights hooked up to it. I got that one because it came with a bluetooth toggle switch. Give me a minute and I can send you picture of my set up. Please don't judge, it is temporary because I dont like it on top of the fuse box cover and I am waiting for my brother to fabricate something for me.

Thanks and sorry about that(see picture) for the exact ones. Your going to think I'm crazy, but the guy who I asked off this thread that did the same thing said he wedged them in where he wanted and used Gorilla superglue. Let me tell..those suckers are in there lol. True test will see how they hold up to Georgia weather. No cutting at all, completely reversible if need be. If you do go that route, be careful putting them back into the slot after applying the glue. I smeared some going up back in and can see it standing infront of the truck. Nothing major, but I know it's there and is driving me crazy. I hope that helps, if you want or need further how to let me know!

No this is perfect. Thank you. All the options out there for this type of light seem to be for Toyota or Ford. Figured it wouldn't be exact. They look awesome though. Nice to know I can wedge and not cut.

That's what I said!! Lol. They do have the white, but I was afraid it wouldn't look right or off from the headlights. Thanks for the compliment. Keep on trucking!

I got them from a dealer in Orang County. Wasn’t the kit. I got them separately.

Getting ready to post my current 18” wheels / tires combo up for sale. With me adding the B.D.S lift I won’t be able to use them. They are the ones in my screen photo Toyo Open Country LT 275/70 ...
