What did you do to your Ram today???

Quality seems to be good, I have to go back and make sure the anchors are parallel to the bed rail, it a tad bit wavy. As far a waterproof, I have it butted really close to the tailgate. When opening and closing tailgate, have to give a little more effort to close. I think I will slide it back a little and attach a flat piece of weatherproof rubber. Other than that pleased, I contacted Rough Country, the guy says that the longer I have it on the sun/weather will make the waves go away over time.
Can you take a few pics? I would love to see it on your truck.
 
Do the liners go under the splash guards? From watching a video on the splash guard installation there is 3M tape involved so I don't want to do this out of order!

Are you referring to the half liners already in the wheel well or mud flaps?

A little work on the tail end. I saw many of you doing it, I thought I might give it a try. I used Duplicolor gray engine primer, I went to spray the Duplicolor Matte Black Brake Caliper paint and it looked greenish. At first I thought the wrong cap was on the can, the can read Matte Black. So I had some Krylon High Heat Black Semi-gloss paint left from when I sprayed my BBQ grill, not bad.

I am going to be installing the full liners and saw the video on having to separate part of the rear third liner and reuse it. I was curious if the mud flaps need to be installed after the full liners due to overlapping of those parts and common use of some holes.

That half liner that is on the truck comes off, take a drill and drill out the connections they are melted on. The part that you separate from the half liner will be used behind the full liner. I put the two screws in first, they are directly in front if you are facing the wheel, loosely. This will allow you to shift the liner to line the holes up, you may need two extra screws.

Mudflaps go on last closest to the tire. If you’re using the Mopar flaps make sure you have a good clean surface to get a good seal with the 3m tape. I’ve seen a fair share of horror stories of them rubbing through the paint. If I were putting them on my truck I would put a vinyl paint protection film between any portion of the paint and the plastic guards but I’ve been accused of going overboard a time or two.

Installed Pace Edwards UltraGroove Metal tonneau cover.

That looks great! I’ve been leaning towards the RetraxPro XR but I’m worried about the size of the canister. Do you happen to know the size of the canister on your Ultragroove?

After getting the extra LED strips installed in the bed a couple weeks ago, followed it up by getting some running board lighting installed since I found the puddle lights on the mirrors to be a little lacking. Also I spy some new tread waiting for my Bilstein 5100's to get installed at some point!

Looks great!
 
Not the most scientific method but here’s my attempt at showing the difference a-pillar lights make. Use the tree on the right for a reference point. Top is headlights only, bottom is headlights + ditch lights. Now imagine that tree is a big dumb deer considering kamikazi-ing across the road...

Lights look good! Which running boards are those?
