What did you do to your Ram today???

[ferraiolo1]

Does your key fob still work after installing these?

So far it does. Installed this morning. Drove it all day.

Dashcam install is done. I decided to stop the install on the radar detector and order a blend mount and Escort wiring harness. the wiring harness will allow me to have a mute button within reach. "Do it right or do it twice" so I'll run the setup like this for now. The black box above my dash cam is my EZPass. It's in a discreet rubber holder and just looks better.

The dashcam & Escort both connect up to my iPhone. The Escort is also supposed to connect to the 4G hotspot but can't get that to work.

Update. Everything is done now for the interior electronics.

Dashcam all wired in
Blacked out EZ Pass holder at top of windshield
Radar detector + BlendMount is setup and configured and the cable management is perfect
USB C to Lightning cable routed up to iPhone mount so it's as clean as it can get until MagSafe gets a higher watt charging + I would also have to get a wireless CarPlay Dongle:

With some other after-market brands of LED lights, the operating frequencies rendered the key fob useless (it interferes with the receiver in the truck). I haven’t kept up with which brand(s) caused the problem, but I didn’t recognize the brand name you mentioned. So I was curious.

 

[ferraiolo1]

Lol. My Last truck, if you installed an led for the 3rd brake light the cruise control wouldn’t work

Now this one the key might not work!

I’ll keep the post updated if I have issues.

Totaled van, living at a drag strip (!!), DIY guy not afraid to take off a bumper in a field or parking lot...I'm guessing you have some good stories.

Gone feral

Now that’s a ****pit, well done skywalker. Extra snaps on the E360c .

Guess I should have called it a flight d***.

Water running down the windshield during installation. If you try and shove something down in there to block it, we'll then it's difficult to tint the whole thing/bottom correctly. It can and has been done obviously, just takes extreme care from the installer.

I'm all for it when it's clear to around 70%, but drive around with your sunglasses on at night and see if you can live with it. That's a little extreme of an example, but 50 is pretty dark and it's not cheap to redo.

Thanks for the heads up. I was look-n........from the outside, I better take a look from the inside before committing. Always better to hear it here first. Is the ceramic tinting worth the extra bucks?

 

[Ldc2335]

Ceramic is absolutely worth the extra cost. Far better at keeping heat out. Hit up the YouTube and watch some of the tests.

I towed this 5x8 trailer 2534km from Southern Ontario to Saskatchewan. Averaged 12.4L/100km (19 US MPG).

Gotta love flat ground!

Got the bed cover on. What is the best bed rug y’all are using ?

Got a BEDRUG (Impact model) very plush, super durable. First one I ever got, am very haopy with it.

Quick easy mod, found this at Oriely for 10 bucks for a 20ft roll. Measured, cut, rounded the corners, prepped with alcohol, and stuck it. Adhesive is very strong, get it right the first time.

After a couple years, this is where the majority of scratches were.

This stuff is great, not that 80 grit sandpaper crap. Feels like a bedliner. Don't think I'd buy it for grip, but for this application, it'll work great.

I like this! Great idea

What did I do to the Ram today? Well, I backed into a poll.....

Then as my son was getting out of the truck, he was swinging his water jug and added a dent to the door...

My poor truck cant catch a break today......

I had something similar happen to me the other day. I went to open my passenger door, my dogs came running by hit the door and my door swung open, hit my brothers passenger mirror and made a dent on the top of the door handle. I was pissed!! Then a few minutes later I turned the truck around went to remove the cases of water from my passenger floorboard and I didn't catch the door in time before it hit the side of the garage and caused a dent below the door handle too. at least mine was the same door though..

Might end up buying some and using it on the top plastic piece off the tailgate. I've scratched mine up pretty bad already. Thanks for this great idea.

Used it to drag home a new project. Wife wanted a golf cart, and i don’t like golf carts.

This one has a v-twin 670cc swapped in, and does around 35-40mph with stock clutches. I like that part at least

HAHA I had a buddy that put a R6 Yamaha engine in one of those. It was a long time ago, but I recall the funniest thing I saw him do was when he was running away from the cops on the service road and he passed me by going over 60mph. I knew instantly who was on that golf cart lol. Cops took it away from him after that then he moved to Michigan a few weeks later
