Nice job on that bike rack. Can you share some details on how you made it? What did you use for the cross bar and how did you secure it to the side rails? Thanks!

I used a 1x4 of hardwood. I had to notch out each side so it would fit in the wide part of the rails. I took the plastic cap off near the front of the rails to install them. I did use some metal plates (top and bottom) to help reduce flex and add strength. Below is a picture of where I notched the wood.

It is kept in place by moving the bedrail slide up as far as possible, then tightening them down.

That's a great upgrade. BUT sadly I had to return mine, because I failed to read the "fine-print": RAM 1500 Crew Cab 2019-Current with a fixed floor OEM console. NOTE: Drilling required. Does not work with the RAM sliding console trays that have lids on the cup holders, as seen on RAM Longhorn and Limited trims.

How about a review of that Mopar Ram airflow? Sound? Performance?

I love the look but honestly I really didn't feel any performance gain. There may be a slight increase but certainly nothing to write home about.

I’ve had one in My 2020 Laramie sport for about six months! It works great. I have had two other Tuffy locking consoles in jeep wranglers Which also fit perfectly!

Oh, that sucks. Yeah, it's an exact fit in the fixed console, so I wouldn't imagine it being able to be changed even if you had kept it. Did you find one that works for you though?

Yeah, it's pretty great for those un American places (like work) where I'm not able to carry my pistol. The fit in the console was perfect and looks great.

No, I have not found one yet, but still looking. For alternatives, I installed locking latches to both of my Ram Bins and also purchased a pistol vault that I have cable locked w/i my Ram.

That's the absolute BEST baptism to get!

When we purchased my wife's Grand Cherokee, our Black Lab baptized the virgin backseat area w/ a nice pile (puddle???) of vomit!!! Thank goodness for the fabric/leather protection that was applied the night before!

I've been looking for one for my Limited as well. Stumbled across this one.
I've been trying to find reviews online, but haven't found any yet.

The LD2078L Model console safe from Lock’er Down is designed to fit the 2019 to 2024 Ram. However, this model is designed with a lower profile so that it is able to fit the Longhorn and Limited mode

EDIT: I just found a review for a Rebel version.

Its AVS. Got it off amazon for $5 because the box was damaged. No damage to the deflector though

AWESOME! And except for the odd, console damaging (???) install, it looks to be a quality product for temporary storage of valuables ... AND a Springfield Armory XD(m) .40 S&W!!!

Which bull bar and window visors did you install? Truck looks badass.

I installed this in my Limited. Contrary to the install instructions, it is NOT necessary to remove the tabs. The only thing I did was cut the rubber mat that lines the console bottom so it would fit with the Lockerdown and also remove (unclip) the little divider baffle (with the previous generations of the Ram on it). BTW, because the Limited's cupholder tray is bigger, that makes the safe smaller. It fits my VP9 in a small holster and an extra magazine. That's it. Just an FYI.

Do you have to turn off the front parking sensors with the bull bar on?

Installed the flowmaster fx muffler and matte black Carven exhaust tips.
