Super nice truck and super nice scenery!!!!
I was looking at this one. How quick was the install? I like that it doesn’t overlay onto the floor mat.Added Datin underseat storage to my 2021 1500 crew cab. Tonneau cover and bedrug next week or so.

Its not difficult, took me about 20 minutes. Hardest thing was lining up the lock nuts inside of the seat support brackets (6 total). Just have to fish them back and hold with one finger while starting the bolt from the outside.I was looking at this one. How quick was the install? I like that it doesn’t overlay onto the floor mat.
Which DD cargo LEDs did you go with, $40 or $90? When backing up at night, stock lights are not bright enough. What year is your truck? Any water leaks after install? Thanks.Installed the Diode Dynamics LED replacements for the third brake light and cargo lights. Wow what a difference! I haven't been able to see what the brake light looks like but the cargo lights are extremely bright! Started the PCM swap process for my tune and also ordered the Rough Country 5" lift. The new unlocked PCM should be here by end of week and the 5" lift goes on around the end of the month. Already had the 2" leveling pucks with links, but really looking forward to getting the 5" lift on.
I had zero issues with this one for 2.5 years before trading it in. It was a good value.Ended up getting a tyger cover for now. Bak flip wouldn’t be here in time for this weekend trip. So Installed a T1 tyger cover today. I’ll end up selling this and getting the backflip. But I’m impressed how nice this is!!
That is a nice backyard setup. I have only cooked with white oak, hickory, apple and cherry. Plenty in the area use other fruit woods but they are not plentiful for me. Never tried soft woods. We have pines in this area but they are just fire pit wood or kindling.lol...for sure, I can report that the Ram did just fine!
Seriously, use the wood for our outdoor pizza oven. Need lots of it; I have a good mix of pine, fir, birch, and juniper!
Have the same set-up...Great value IMO!!Ended up getting a tyger cover for now. Bak flip wouldn’t be here in time for this weekend trip. So Installed a T1 tyger cover today. I’ll end up selling this and getting the backflip. But I’m impressed how nice this is!!
Today, I decided that the front bumper would look better without the license plate.

For bumper plugs, I bought four of the HIllman brand 3/8" metal hole plugs at Lowes. Then I used some small pliers to expand the flanges on the back just a little bit.

This made them pop in nice and tight in the 7/16" holes.

I think this looks better. But we will see. I can always stick the license plate holder back on there if I want.

I just bought a 2021 Laramie night edition and totally agree about the chrome lug nuts. Which did you buy?In the past couple of days I've replaced the shift knob with the AJT Design black one and I love it. It feels better than the stock one as far as being able to grip it and it just looks so much better. Can't decide if I want to go for the other dash knobs from them because from the pictures it looks like you can still see some of the silver around the inside rim of them where they just overlay the existing knobs instead of actually removing them like the shift knob.
I also installed some black lug nuts because I'm not sure why Ram didn't do this from the factory for the Night Edition wheels. Love the way it looks with that subtle change.
Tomorrow I'm installing the Hellwig sway bar and Borla S-type exhaust. Can we say tax return? haha

I built a stainless gas grill into the deck rail when we built it. Plumbed it to a 100# tank and used it extensively. Now birds build nests in it and I use a regular kettle grill or my old smoker. I need to fix it back up for quick meals.
Use a hose on the nipple.Did my first oil change since installing my fumoto valve that is supposed to make oil changes easier and less mess. I might have to get a different drain pan because as soon as the oil hit the drain pan, it started splattering everywhere, all over my head and faces almost a 2' radius around the pan. So actually made more of a mess with the oil than just letting it hit sway bar. Finally got the pan centered with the stream so it was hitting the hole in middle and it stopped splattering. Thinking a screen on top or something to reduce splatter, or will have to get a hose that fits over the nipple on valve so it goes straight into drain pan. It just doesn't "flow" out of the valve smooth enough. Waiting on engine to cool down a little more before taking filter off as I use the larger older Hemi filter so take a little more to get it out
Is the red ring around the start button housing included in the button that you purchased? I ahve seen plenty of red start buttons and they are easy to find online, but I have never seen one with a red outer ring. Looks awesome!
