Went for a long drive, then washed Her. Saw a fellow RAMBro at the wash and we nodded appreciatively at one another's choices.

Gave her a much needed bath and exterior detail. Gyeon Q2 tire dressing, clayed, Sonax Perfect Finish, IPA wipe down and topped with Ice Seal N Shine. Couldn’t ceramic coat her because she doesn’t fit in the garage and there’s a chance for rain.

The trifold made by or for lineX. It was there and I was lazy. But its good. Got into a massive rainstorm around Atlanta on the way home and the bed stayed bone dry.

I really love this two tone. Some colors don’t look so great - but this just really good looking.

Thanks, I felt the same way when I first saw it.

I doesn’t look factory...or is it? I might need something similar...that is strong, but can use to kick to remove any dirt, mud or snow on. I don’t have anything in my laramie

I just added a Xenon Depot XTR LP Reverse Light and used the Curt Mfg. T and 5 way plug. Works absolutely perfectly, fits perfectly and does NOT hit my tailgate. Finally able to see like a champ through the tinted windows AND in the rear view camera.
Going to give the girl a bath and polish her up tomorrow!

I just ordered that light because of your comment about it not hitting the tailgate.
Could you tell me the plug part number please? I looked on Amazon and Curt and couldn't find it.
Thanks for posting. I hate the reverse lights on my Ram. It's the sealed led so I wasn't able to upgrade the reverse light bulbs.

Here is the Link on Amazon of the Curt Manufacturing harness that I used. Worked perfectly:
CURT 56584 Replacement Vehicle-Side Custom USCAR 5-Pin Trailer Wiring Harness
I also used a 5 way trailer side plug and used the Blue wire (Positive Reverse) and the White Wire (Ground) to hook to my light and then plugged in. The other 3 wires, I cut to about 4" long, taped of the flush cut and wrapped them together with electrical tape. I dropped the spare tire and it all tucked up nice and is held in place with Zip Ties. There are some detailed posts on this topic if you need more.
Here are a couple links to help search if needed for wiring and securing wires:
License Plate Reverse light
Installed my VLEDS LPR. This helps the backup camera immensely at night. Used the Curt wiring harnesses with the 5 pin reverse light connection and it works great. http://www.vleds.com/shop-products/lpr/lpr-reverse-72-w.html...

Reverse/Back Up Lights with Camera at Night
Got these from tractor-supply. Fabricated mounting brackets from thin stainless steel and they are hard-wired to the trailer harness. They put out plenty of light but the beam-width is little too narrow unfortunately.

One word of caution on "Not Hitting The Tailgate". Even though mine did not hit, others have stated that the VLED version hits on some and not on others. If for any reason it is close, you can always lower your plate mounting holes a mounting bolt width and trim the bottom of your plate as others have mentioned.
In the end it will look the same and it works great!
I went with the Xenon Depot XTR LP Reverse Light because it appeared thinner that the VLED version, especially in the center of the bar. I am very happy.
Here are a couple pictures of the plate with the light and then one with the tailgate down so you can see the gap under the tailgate to the light. Hope this helps.

Thanks! Every day I look at them, it makes me realize how happy I am with that choice. I love a lot of the trucks and ideas I see posted on this forum, but it came out exactly like I wanted for my taste. I think I am happiest with PoorBoy's advice to go with 11.50 tires instead of the 12.50's! It gave me the exact stance I wanted.Beautiful Ram. I love those Fuel Beast wheels

Today I swapped the dome light, map lights, and floor lights to LED. I was also able to give it a good wash, and apply a nice layer of clay bar/Ceramic coating. I have plans to paint my brake Calipers this coming week!

Installed a 1 1/2 inch spacer to the rear end. When I had the 2 inch level spacer in the front it was about a quarter inch or half-inch rake. But once I added the bed slide in, it spunk so that it was slightly lower in the back.
Looks great now. Looks properly lifted.
between the factory 1 inch lift, now the roughly 2 inch lift plus the additional ride height from the 35s, it is sitting pretty!
