Put it to work as a truck, make it earn its keep. No free meals here.

If this truck wants me to take care of it; wash it, feed it, keep it safe and secure....it better do it's chores if you know what I mean.

Finally got the utility rails installed... only buggered one nutsert along the bottom on each side so no big deal.
Did have to go to ACE and get longer bolts as I was unable to get the bedrug compressed enough to catch the OEM bolts. The rail did pull in the bed rug quite a bit at the tail gate, going to have to remove the velcro and add new ones because of the shortened distance.

@Rich B. Only 1 thing would improve the look of this, remove the dealer advertisement........Unless of course they are paying you as a retiree to be a roaming billboard!

What’s the best way to remove the lil stick on dealer advertisement?

It is likely a vinyl type sticker... use a hair dryer to heat it up and peel it off...

Added a 1/4 inch custom lift kit to my boys truck. Also did some custom badging and an OEM Lightbar on the roof.

After:

Ride is a little stiffer but very similar to stock.

Added some bigger tips after deleting all 3 resonators and going with a flowmaster super 10 which I highly recommend because it sounds nasty! Definitely a head turner but tolerable enough on a highway cruise. View attachment 12815View attachment 12816View attachment 12817View attachment 12818

Nice looking truck

Finally got to hand wash and detail my truck. Also installed Huskyliner mud flaps and cut to fit tool matting for storage compartments and Ramboxes.

Looks like your mud flaps don’t fit right either. Mine have the “gap”. Waiting for weather tech flaps to arrive Thursday to see if I like them better.

Yea. They don’t fit as good as the ones I had on my 2009 Laramie. But I do like how they are a little more rounded at the bottom of the flaps than the Weathertech.

Today I limo tinted the sunroof and 6” down the windshield. Also tinted all door windows. Friday the exhaust goes on!!!!

I tried heating it with a hair dryer myself and it wasn't effective enough alone. I had to use something to get the edge up to peel it off. I tried a lot of safe options to avoid scratching the paint but none of them were pointed enough. Finally used a razor to just get the edge moving away from the truck. Worked perfectly but left a small paint chip I didn't notice at each place. So heat it for sure to get the adhesive up and then you need something to start the sticker peeling away. I tried my finger nail to no avail. Try something plastic. May have to flatten/mold it to get it sharp enough to get under the sticker. I was thinking I should have used one of those plastic dental picks since you can get an edge on it.

Wow, i have always been able to do dealer stickers amd manufacturer badges with a hair dryer. Some took some heating up a lot longer than others, i agree. I have been there holding it for 20 minutes at points, but always worked.

Never really used any adhesive dissolvers more than goo gone to assist.

I always try to do it on really hot days too after cars been in direct sunlight (especially the panel I want to focus on), plus the hair dryer. Those are the easiest.

Ordered MOPAR bed utility rails on ebay from a delaer in NC. Said it was in stock and ready to ship after I messaged and asked to make sure.

279 Shipped Fast and Free. The local dealers I called told me they would have to order them in on a daily order, yada yada, and then I go pick them up.

Maybe it wasnt the greatest deal, but there is a cost to convenience.

So thats what I did for the Ram today.

Looks like you ditched the @#%*ing tow mirrors too! Nice work...

I used my library card to get underneath and it worked perfectly.

Installed a nice pair of Westin Sure-Grip step boards on my 2019 Laramie . Solid aluminum boards with plastic end caps. Strong and sturdy. Very pleased as the price was right.

Total cost was $354 including shipping. Amazon Prime

Took about an hour per side to install. As noted by Westin, the lower mount studs on the RAM rocker panels are painted over. That makes it super hard to install the nuts for the support arms.

Got 2/4 of the rigid industries lights for my project, first impressions- they're super high quality feeling and offer many different mounting choices. My custom Magnum headache rach should arrive in 2 weeks. I'll have a full install writeup then. (key fob for size reference)
