What did you do to your Ram today???

Bought her 7 months ago and she’s got 6k miles. Mid way through the dechroming process. I love this truck!

Yesterday I decided to have windows tinted. Legal tint in Wisconsin is 50% on driver and passenger and 35% on rear. I did not want to contribute $175.00 to the city coffers if a law enforcement official decides to play with his or her light meter instead of doing something useful. Soooo, I stayed legal at 50%. I’m still happy with the change. My baby looks much better. Love this truck. I smile every time I get in it.

Where did you purchase these lights rowboat1? I'm going to install (4) of these (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01ADHUWWA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) in the same location as you did. I assume you had to remove the inside "cover/header" in order to access the backside of the grill?

Loaded up a new 2019 Rebel 500 in the bed and drove it home. Love this Ram - and that motorcycle.

Legal here is also 50% for the front. I took mine in and asked for 50% all around. With the rear already being around 20%, putting 50% on top would leave them at around 10%.

But, noOOoo, the installer told me that I wouldn't hardly even be able to tell the difference with 50% on the back. He recommended 30% for the rear. I generally try to actually listen when a "professional" gives me advice, so I said okay and he did 50% front and 30% back.

I wish I had stuck to my guns. It's harder to see out the back and rear sides at night, when it's dark out, than I would like. I think 50% all around would have been fine (for me). I just wanted it a little darker and to block as much infrared (heat) as possible (which is why I anted up for the top shelf ceramic tint - which seems to work well, by the way. Even when it was in the 90s around here, my truck was never all that hot inside after being parked during the day).

How do you like it so far? Noticeable difference?

I like the look a lot better than stock. The ride is good. I drive through some areas where they're working on the freeway and it feels less squirrely when going over rough pavement at hwy speeds. It wasn't cheap at $1k for F/R including an alignment.

Do you have more pictures? You did them in the rear as well? I didn't think it would be that much. I have found the parts for $132 each in the front and $99 each in the rear. So they charged $500+ for install and alignment? In hind sight I guess that is a going rate, just haven't added it all up yet.

Yes, I thought it was a lot as well. 500 for install and alignment seems high, but I got a couple of quotes and that seems to be the rate. Yes, I did front and rear.
Here are a couple more shots...if theres something specific you're looking for let me know and I can get a shot..

It's not a mod or anything but did a highway trip over the weekend I don't usually let it go this low but to hot 500 on one tank was awesome. I have the v6 but very happy with the results.

New Ram member as of last night and what I did today? Well posting first time ever on Ram forum as I was long time Tundra owner, actually 2014 and 2016 Tundra trucks. Mixed emotions but I hope Ram will serve me another 5 years at least with much problems. Just to cover myself got 72 months or 84K warranty on most expensive things that could go as you all I'm sure aware what those things are.

Going to miss that RB20 running boards and bed cover from my Tundras
Also need lineX
