What did you do to your Ram today???

^^^. Can you list where you picked up the plugs from, and possibly an installed photo ?

Gator SRX rollup tonneau cover.
2/5 difficulty install.
Seems to be water tight on both side rails, but not the tailgate part.
Love the low profile look.
 
Installed my BlackVue 590w 2 channel dash cam. Blendmount for radar detector

Awesome.

Quick question. I have a Bighorn, which Blend Mount said would not work on my style mirror. Took a chance, worked out and mirror tapped the radar detector... so my question is... can I tap same for a camera?
 
There are several mirror types. The Blend mount is "not compatible" with my Bighorn mirror but it works fine, I just needed to add a little foam spacer. On your truck it may work better bu taking out the link. I could not take out the the link and make radar level... the stand off does not bother me and helps putting Heat Shield in place.

Very sweet!! I was looking at the blendmount. Is there anyway to make the top of the Radar Dectector flush with the bottom of the mirror using that mount?


Above pic was in response to this.
 
Picked up my Delmonico Red Laramie a couple weeks ago. Have since ordered:

Lomax hard cover tri-fold
Bed Xtender
Mopar rubber floor mats
2 Royal Oxford seat protectors for the car seats in the back

Considering weather tech mud flaps, and perhaps running boards one day

Removed chrome Limited trim on sides, changed to black RAM badging on doors and tailgate. Installed skid plates. New black window trim coming in.It was a good weekend...lol
 
Installed the Mopar Bed Step today. Very easy install, it was not just like the directions called for though, but easy enough to see what was supposed to happen. Step deploy's perfectly. I have to work on my technique for putting it away as you need to push it forward only and your inclination is to push it down and forward. Really glad I held out for the Mopar unit though. The others don't look nearly as clean when put away!!
Pictures!!
 
I took mine to the Dealer for a couple of issues, One, found a rust spot on the roof, they are going to fix that. Two, I noticed while sitting idle the truck would shake, rough idle, they found a defective Coil Pack so they replaced it and that fixed that issue. Three, I noticed if I would turn off the truck for about 5 min, then get back in and start it, the radio volume would go up and down, up and down, so bad I would have to turn it off, they fixed that with a Flash update.
 
Last couple of days:
Got the front windows tinted to match (20%)
Installed the Bed Cover
Installed the Mopar All-Weather (Slush) Mats
Got it's first wash

Just purchased the Rail Kit-Side - Mopar (82215285AB) for $206 plus shipping via internet. Sounds like the "rivet nuts" have given some a problem with the install. Wanted to get the rivet nuts into the the 8 hexagon holes on each side prior to the Line X install later this month. Hexagon shape may help with the install. It appears earlier versions required you to drill the holes from the Amazon reviews.

That's a great price! Have a link to share?

Also, there a multiple videos on how to install those nuts without a tool... easiest seem to be a bolt, a nut, and a serrated washer.

I installed a Lock’r Down Extreme console safe with the metal electronic lock. Fits perfectly and provides secure place to store - well that stuff. The extreme was made from surprisingly thick stock. Very pleased with the way it came out!

Purchased from Surburban: https://www.suburbanautoparts.com/o...nxga7AlpyYt7I0Xpb_fHYPCaDgOletecaAv2LEALw_wcB but there are quite a few on the web with that price despite msrp of $250.

Thanks for the help on rivet nuts. I have previous experience with rivet nuts from a luggage rack install on my BMW motorcycle that the dealership screwed up royally.
 
Installed the Mopar Bed Step. Highly recommend this add on.
