What did you do to your Ram today???

I have finally gotten my Ram to where I want it to be. It's amazing how much a 2" lift can do to improve appearance and down-road visabity, without really affecting ride quality at all. My War On Chrome has also been won; the grill letters are plasti-dipped and the rest of the black badging are MOPAR replacements. The color of the Warlord wheels is also a remarkably close match to the factory paint. Overall, very happy with how everything turned out!

Looks great! I just ordered the same wheels today, a different looking wheel but I really like it. I went with the 22” version with 33” Toyo MTs
 
I drove my Loaner ram home until my real one is delivered to my doorstep

Does this count?

For real though, when I get mine. I’m going to install side steps and tint. anyone have recommendations?

Cheap sidesteps will be fine, but just be black as my truck is a blacked out laramie

Also, recommendations on tint? I live in San Antonio and want something that defends against the heat quite a bit.

I paid just over $2000 with the tool box. I’ve had a lot of covers but this one by far is my favorite

Did you get a discount? I'm looking at the same setup (8" cross bin). I'm getting $2049 for the cover and $279 for the bin.
Also, what prompted you to get the HD instead of the SE? I'm trying to decide which I should go with (no ATVs to put on top, but I don't want to find out that I should have gotten the heavy duty ones). I kind of like having the extra anchor points for the idea of putting a net over the top of something on the cover instead of bungees, straps or rope.
 
Bought it two weeks ago finally had a chance to wash it for the first time. Inch and a half wheel spacers installed brake covers installed interior LED lighting and fogs done.

I like those wheels! I think I finally found what I want when I replace mine later this year. The NFab sidesteps are legit too. Real nice look bro.
 
they FINALLY finished the dirt work in our driveway after a MONTH, so i'll be able to give her a proper wash, but i was wanting to try out this product so yesterday i did it on my tailgate- a month's worth of dirt gone in about 2 minutes on the tailgate : ) not bad

I have been using this for years: https://www.chemicalguys.com/EcoSmart_RU_Waterless_Car_Wash_Wax_1_Gal_p/wac_707ru.htm

Recommended to me by a friend who is a car detailing freak. Haven't used water to wash a car since 2016.

Was this a Mopar 2" lift (ront and rear) or 2" leveling kit? Wasn't aware of the Mopar 2" lift kit. Thanks.

I did get a small discount from them for being military and LEO. If you call them and talk to them tell them Nick Amberg sent you, I have referred a few people and they have hooked them up. I went with the HD because of similar reason I have friends that have the SE model on Tacoma’s and colorado’s. They love them, I just plan to do a little bit of an overland/tactical style build on my truck and never want to be held back on something because of a lighter rating. I can tell you I have moved couches and desks on the cover and it’s amazing. Also very very water proof!
 
Installed:
-GO RHINO 2.0 sport bar with AUX Beam Lights
-Sentry CT tonneau cover
- Magnaflow catback

That looks like a great combo!

Do you have a pic of the tonneau rolled up? I'm curious if it rolls up all the way to the back of the cab (or does the Go Rhino block it?)
 
Got my bakflip mx4, bed step and bed extender pins all installed...

Yes, it is a 2" lift front and rear. It's a complete kit, with Fox 2.0 shocks and new UCAs. MOPAR part # 77072424.
