Where did you get the flag for your "RAM" on your grill? I have a black grill and am looking for the same one. Thanks!

I have the links in this post:

Email the seller and let him know what color vinyl you want. I love the way it looks, very subtle until you notice it's there and then wow!

Not today but yesterday, gave her a bath, installed Lasfit LEDs in Cargo/Brake Light Assy, and installed a Tyger T1.

I read somewhere on here that the speedos auto adjust? Might be trucks with NAV only. Before you install run Waze or Google maps on a phone and compare to your trucks GPS and speed to your phone. I think I’d do it without connecting the phone to the truck too. Might save ya some money and effort.

I don't think so.

I've been contemplating the same thing! I'm leaning toward above the bodyline crease in front of the mirror, just some 6" above where you show it in your first photo. Haven't really seen anyone put a flag there...

I threw mine on the bottom of both rear door windows. Not a fan of putting sticker/decals on any painted or fadeable surfaces.

Hooked up some Mpower Fascia 4'' led lights wired to a Curt 55384 T harness so I wouldn't have to cut into any factory wires.

Will that cause any vision issues at night?

First picture is dim lights through the windshield. Still is a little hazy due to not being completely dry. Second picture is dim lights from outside the truck.

I can say that for me, street signs are clearer and other peoples headlights are not just blinding me anymore. Maybe that's because I have bad vision. ‍♂️

Wow! That is better vision than I thought it would allow. Too bad Texas prevents tinting the windshield as far as I know with anything other than the clear heat tint without any percentage of color.

It looks good on your Ram.

Thank you. This is illegal in my state, as well, but so are my side windows. Hopefully as long as I don't rear end anyone I will be okay.

Where did you get that low profile bug deflector? Does it come in black?

These are the AVS aeroskin deflectors. They do come in both black plastic and paint matched black.

I did the first oil change at 5.5K, used Rotella for gas trucks and a Royal Purple filter. The factory installed filter was ridiculously tight!!! There is no reason for that.

...I hope it does auto adjust. Will save the calibration hassle like you said. Maybe I’ll get a chances to check it out today.

Just an FYI for anyone unsure, it does not auto-calibrate. Stealership can do it for like ~$150ish or u can DIY w/ programmers

I asked a Lustine Dodge near me to calibrate the speedo, and it was a whole thing. The service guy had to ask his manager, the manager needed to call Ram or whoever, and they came back and said they are only authorized to calibrate up to 33" tires. And then, like you said, for $150. I said screw that and ended up using a TazerDT that I was planning on getting anyway, and it worked perfectly.

Could you post a picture of your front end? I’ve been looking at that low profile bug deflector in chrome but I’ve been worried it would be too much added chrome.

@K_Hub here’s another pic I took of the chrome hood protector trim.
