What did you do to your Ram today???

Never heard of them....they must be cheap

I would utilize the term cost effective, but definitely cheaper than Toyo Ridge Grapplers I was considering. They had good reviews in A couple of the off-road magazines and on the YouTube review groups like Trailbuilt off-road and Custom Wheel offset etc so I gave them a go.

Better term indeed...I watched a few quick YT vids and they said "cheap", but I'm sure that's relative to a nice Nitto RG or Toyo AT3.
 
How much did you pay for that package? I got a quote for almost $2k for just the mirrors/fenders/hood/bumper.
This isn’t a terrible price for full hood and fenders. I have XPEL PPF on my bumper, headlights and panels above the bumper and it cost me $500.

Maybe I can negotiate headlights and roof too.

I’d definitely do the headlights. Maybe try and get that and your original quoted locations for 1700-1800 and it would be a good deal. PPF is really helpful. My 2021 had it on within the first few days of owning it.
 
So wasn't done today but my first real mods on the Ram.

Long story short... It's my first brand new vehicle I've ever had. Made my first truck payment and 3 days later hit my first deer in 20 years of driving 🤬.

Opened the door to change some things up on the front end though. Lemme know what you guys think!

Still need to put the skid plate on but you get the idea...

How much coverage on the hood/fenders? I have 24" on hood/fenders and all the other items (mirrors, bumper, grille, pillars + roof) in Suntek PPF. $800 CDN

That looks pretty sexy. Which bumper is that? Can you take pictures of the side so i can see how flush it is? What kind of changes have you noticed in driving, mpg etc.

It's the Black Horse Off Road Armour bumper with the bull nose. MPG's have definitely dropped a tick but I was expecting that since the front air spoiler and stuff was removed. I just went out and snapped a couple pics. Don't mind the dirt... She needs a bath. Haha. I still need to spend some time really getting it lined up and centered but just had to get it on so I could get the truck back out on the road. Haven't noticed any wind noise or whistling from it even on the highway so pretty pleased with that. Hopefully will get the skid plate on sometime this weekend if I get a little free time which will help clean up the look a bit.

Well nothing special, but I got my first oil change. Also boys and girls if you have not done recently get out there and detail the interior of your truck. The weather is crappy up here in the Pacific North West, but I finally decided to knock it out. Man it feels like I just bought the sum *****.
