What did you do to your Ram today???

Looks great! Ill be doing the exact same mods! So far I also have the D6 step and tints. If you don't mind me asking, what did they charge for the ceramic coating?

Awesome man! An old college buddy of mine runs a detail shop so I think the pricing I get is better then most lol. The whole detail was $800...correction and coating. Seems like most shops charge over 1k for this (at least).

My tires have arrived. Going to call my local tire place to get them installed. Question...since my truck is about 3 months old, do I really need to also replace the TPS as well? Seems like its overkill, but since I'm going up a tire size (from stock 275/55R20 to 285/60R20) cant they just reprogram them?

Absolutely they can reuse them. They shouldn’t need to do anything to them.

Good choice tire! I was torn between that tire and the one's I ended up installing. The deciding factor was what I could find available in the size I wanted (I went with 295/60R20 which is apparently not as common of a size).

Anyways, I only had 1,000 miles on the stock tires and they had no issues reusing my tire pressure sensors (they didn't have to do a thing with them).

Can't really go wrong with any of the top ones like K02, Duratrac,Wildpeak, AT3, grabbers.

Just 2 reasons why I picked toyo at3. Road noise, and price.

Wife has her wrangler with duratrac, and not loud like mud tires, but loud enough to hear it with the windows closed. I wanted as minimal road noise as possible. I was torn between the K02, but the price $100 more per tire.

Let me guess, a graduate of University of Washington, Northwestern U or TCU (GO HORNED FROGS)?!?!
None of the above. After looking at several hundred colors one afternoon, the young lady helping me suggested the color. At first, I said absolutely not. She persisted and showed me pictures of the wrap on her own personal car, which she did herself, and I was sold.

The wrap looks good in all kinds of light. That did it for me.

It's one VERY cool color!
 
Finished up my control arm swap with some new Core4x4 upper rear arms. Might be the tightest bolts I have ever had to remove.
How are you liking their control arms? I have rear sway bar end links from them, totally bomb proof. I'd like to get their track bar one of these days

Equally bomb proof. I had an rmi sway bar and because of my diff cover had to get rid of it. The new control arms (while they don’t completely eliminate roll) they add a whole other level of rigidity to the rear links.
 
Finally...my small lift is complete. Just 2" rough country struts on the front, and replacement struts in the rear along with 1" spacer in the rear. Installed the toyo open country at3 yesterday. Still kinda looks like the front is higher. Will do official measurements later today to confirm

Added some auxiliary reverse lights to the 2020 Longhorn. Used a couple of 18watt worklights (same as I used earlier on a couple of tractors).

Mounted them to the receiver using a couple of hood clamp lamp mounts. The attachment location shouldn't interfere with my chain hook ends. The electrical connection was via the Curt 5 pin flat T connector & a 5 pin pigtail soldered to the lamp leads. Added some heavy zip ties after install as insurance to keep things off the pavement if one of the mounts fail.

They throw a nice wash of light on the ground & make for easier backing with the reverse camera view. The light wash edges extend wide enough for the side mirror views as well.
