What did you do to your Ram today???

[Jordan2929]

Center caps came today to put the finishing touch on my rims. View attachment 10404

Could you post the details on the rims, and where you got them from?

Let me know how it goes. I am planning on getting the Bakflip Revolver x4 when it soon becomes available. I hope it works well with the RamBoxes. Same company, same mechanism?

Backflip company called me today to see if I had done the installation yet. I told them it would be this weekend and they requested I let them know how it goes. I thought it was very cool that they would follow up on their product like that. I told them that I had read that the Ramboxes would only open to about 70% of the stock movement with the cover installed. He told me that was not the case. The new design should allow full opening of the boxes. This was reassuring. I'll post the results.

Where’d you order the shift knob decals from?

Cool. I had a BakFlip on my 2013 Laramie with RamBoxes. It worked pretty well but the rubber gasket applied a small amount of pressure on the lid when it was opened so it would not stay fully open by itself but was easy to open with my hand to the full extent. I can't remember if this ever improved over time but I think it did. It will be interesting to see what they have changed. Hope the install goes well. I don't have my truck yet but possibly before Christmas but I suspect just after because of the holiday schedule.

That flag looks great

Make sure you get some 303 protectant for that revolver x4 and avoid washing the truck with any kind of silicone based protectant. It will dry out the vinyl and then it shrinks and peels away from the aluminum slats. The vinyl and some glue is what holds all the individual slats together and they fall apart if it comes loose. This is a pile of aluminum after the vinyl failed from a revolver after 2 years on my last truck.

Thanks for the heads up. Was yours the X2 or X4? I thought the X4 was a recent upgrade of the X2.

X2, I spoke with Bak about it, the x4 is the x2 with a matte finish instead of gloss. I liked the cover a lot, it just didn't hold up to the summers here and my truck isn't garage kept. I'm thinking about trying the sentry ct.

I spoke to the seller specifically about the size. She was sending them out in 1.5" and 2" diameter circles, but I actually measured and it was 1.43", so she made one for me that size and also 1.5". The one in the photo is 1.43". I think the knob may be different sizes between model years. I can't see why you'd want 2", which would be way too large, but 1.5" may cover slightly more and look better. I was happy with the 1.43" one so I have the 1.5" sitting in a drawer in case I need it. I had this conversation with her and recommended she send 1.43" and 1.5". I may have taken this simple decal analysis too far...

Nothing too crazy today. Finally got my oil catch can in from billet technology. Just a hair over 3wks, but worth the wait.

How often are you guys emptying the can?

Monday had ARE tonneau cover installed along with bed mat. Then went to dealer to pick up wheelhouse liners. Brown Santa also came with Gatorback mud flaps. Installed goodies Tue wed & thr. The second liner was easier than the first. Next will be nerf bar steps.

 

[Troop2865]

I installed roll up Gator tonneau cover tonight. I had a roll up on my 2011 Ram 2500 and really liked it. Installation was simple and it fits well. I had the heater cranked up in the garage so it would fit better. Tomorrow is the new Bedrug.

ReTraxone non-power model, so far I like it.

Backflip MX showed up today and it will go on this weekend. Really have my fingers crossed that this thing is going to get along well with the tie down rail and ramboxes. I hit the vendor with about three emails confirming all of the pieces would work together and they assured me they would. Haven't taken it out of the box yet but the design has got to be pretty slick for this to be true. There simply isn't much room between the rambox hinge point and the tie down rail to work with. I expect disappointment but we will see.

Open 100% no problem with mx4. The cover and weather seals are not touching the RamBox lid at all.

My truck is currently sitting in the shop for 6(ish) software upgrades and the body isolator mount replacements. I get to chill in this 2018 dodge grand caravan. Makes the luxury of my ram much more apparent.

Looks like my e-torque might get more than 14MPG now though ^^
