Done a few things to the Ram over the past couple months. Figured I'd drop them here.

So last post was the upgraded 22" XD wheels. Didn't care to much for the factory 22inch "premiums"
1. Did a full chrome delete.
- Sand blasted the grille and did a paint match.
- Ordered the matte RAM decals from dodge and replaced the chrome ones
- 3M Satin Vinyl wrap on the Limited strip (didnt sell it matte)
- 3M Satin Vinyl on the door handles and mirrors
2. Added a Backflip bed cover. Best investment so far.

Let me know what yall think. Added some before (first 2 pics) and afters.

After having them for almost a year in my garage, I finally had time today to replace out the chrome mirror covers with color matched metallic black.

I used the suction cup and heatgun method for removing the mirrors to get to the bolts/clasps.

Hopefully this weekend I'll have time to give the truck a much needed wash. I'll also be starting to adjust my AUX battery setup, replacing my ML-ACR with REDARC BCDC1240D and moving the battery and electronics to a box in the bed.

Great mod. I've drained way more oil than I thought I would have since I owned it.
Look into an 3/8" NPT mini ball valve, and 2-3" of tube, for the bottom of the can. Screws right in. Twist the knob and you can drain it easily.

Added a catch can from Mishimoto.

I'll look into that. Thank you!

Although I didn't put them on today, it rained immediately after I put them on so I decided to wait a few days until I could clean him up and wax him again which I did today so....here's the pics with my Gatorback "RAM" Stainless Steel Mud Flaps.

I see a few versions of those and sizes, what's the WxH on those? I like how far they go down. My Weathertech are nice, but those cover a lot more.
