What did you do to your Ram today???

Yeah, easy to install.
Only change I would have made to it's design is a flip-up handle on the top if I ever wanted to carry it around, since it can lift up and off. I may end up 3d printing a handle, and bolting it on (+ sealing w/ silicon)
Nice! I thought about getting one (or two). But the drilling into the side of the bed scared me off. They look super handy though
 
Wow! i HATE greasy armour all coated tires, i just love deep black tires with NO shine. Well, after trying a million different products, i am shocked i found this one at Walmart for 3.97 for the can (did all 4 tires and had about half a can left : )

We're in the process of concreting our driveway so i have not washed my truck in a WHOLE month. i just can't stand going thru a car wash with a BLACK truck, throwing them 20 bucks WITH tip and it is NEVER clean and always has smudges and splotches and i feel like i threw 20 bucks to the wind.

So today, while i am waiting to be able to do a proper wash & wax , i just tried this product because my "brown tires" were starting to really bug me while i wait for driveway or for my husband to be free to take truck to DIY coin car wash....

This product blew my mind. & its touchless & waterless, no scrubbing, no rinsing....sprayed entire tire and within 15 minutes it was "black black" ... (i know i got to clean the wheels, that's NEXT : ) Great stuff!

I’ve used that off and on for years, but I’d wipe down the tires afterwards with a towel to leave a matte finish. As you said, it’s easy.

I also use Griot’s Garage vinyl and rubber dressing for this purpose...whatever I have on hand.
 
... but I’d wipe down the tires afterwards with a towel to leave a matte finish. .......

THAT is why I was sooooo impressed with it : ) when I came out about a half hour after I'd done it, there was NOTHING you could wipe, no residue, nada!

The tires were totally dry and looked "matte new tire deep black"

I was like "whaaaaa?! from those brown dirty tires to this with just ONE foam application circle? No water, no scrubbing, no wiping? For a can costing $3.97?! Shocked me truly : )
 
I have been using Adams VRT and this time I tried the regular Adam's Tire Shine and it is about perfect, matt with just a slight shine.
 
Washed the truck today. I did a spray off at a place with high pressure wands but that barely got the salt off. Still a of salt and road gunk left.

Spent a few hours hand washing with the 2 cloth method and Meguiar's Ultimate Waterless Wash & Wax

First time using that stuff. It did an incredible job clay and ceramic coat it in spring. Until then, I recommend.
 
Figured I’d add a more complete post

- Punisher decal
- Truxedo Sentry Tonneau Cover
- Redline radar detector hard wired
- Viofo A129 Pro dashcam hard wired (plus 256gb Samsung and card)
- Ravpower 32000 mAH battery pack (to run dashcam when car is not running. Can also be used as portable charger for anything. Huge capacity)
- USB y cable (male-male-female). Used to connect dashcam to both the battery pack and the trucks USB port simultaneously so when you shut off truck the dashcam stays powered. Battery pack is plugged in to 110v outlet so it’s recharging when vehicle is running
- Luyed 1600 lumen leds to replace cargo lights and 3rd brake light
- Mopar oem mudguards
- Senslip license plate bull bar with mounts for lights
- Beaver hitch step
- Full ceramic coating (incl windshield)
- DeeZee heavyweight utility bedmat
- Sunplus license plate frames
- Keeper Cargo bar with net
- Mictuning Cargo net
- 2- Nilight 20” 129w light bar (one on front grill and one under rear hitch)
- 2- Nilight 7.5” 36w lights (mounted on license plate bull bar)

EDIT: also added
- Flag/Rebel shift knob decal. Someone from this forum recommend this (can’t remember who but big THANKS!). This is a simple detail but I really love it. Link below to eBay seller. Make sure you ask the seller in the notes to size it to 1.43”
It comes with 2 decals so you have a backup. I’m pretty sure there are several designs and you can get it without the “Rebel” if you have a diff trim. Might even be able to customize??

Just purchased a few cans to try it out!

- 2- Nilight 7.5” 36w lights (mounted on license plate bull bar)

Does your rear bull bar set off your rear brake assist?

I put on a trailer hitch step, and it forces park assist disabled or beeps like made. It isnt even that wide.

Just to clarify the rear isn’t a bull bar, it’s a “beaver step”. I was worried that it might interfere with the sensors but it doesn’t at all. It’s perfect. It actually works as a pretty cool “arrow” when backing up. Haha.

The front “bull bar”, which is really just an aluminum license plate frame with a curved bar and holes for mounting lights, also does not interfere with my front sensors (thankfully). I was surprised but it also works perfectly. I purchased that “bull bar” because I thought it might come in handy in parking situations where someone wanted to play bumper parking. It obviously won’t absorb any significant impact. It also has mounts for the lights which is a bonus!

i hope ya got the "touchless" one, cuz i bought a couple of others by Armor ALL and i had to scrub like a demon...lol Hope it does as well for you, i was thinking it prolly only works THAT good with "newer tires", before the dirt has time to REALLY take up residence...lol
 
Placed an order for a rear under seat storage bin, will do a review once arrives and put through its paces.2F8C4C62-3D64-4E46-9B50-32EFD4DE1288.jpeg
 
Getting it from the mopar site - https://www.mopar.com/en-us/my-vehicle/recalls/search.html

Just put your vin number in

i tried putting in the vin #s from each of our window stickers and it returned each time vin not found???????

washed my truck yesterday before the snow ... automatic touchless ... 99.3% cleaner ... they refunded my money ($9) and gave me a free ($5) wash ... still has the stripe down only the driver side .. go figure
