Had the truck clay barred and waxed yesterday. My detailer used a ceramic type wax. While not as nice as a true ceramic coating, she’s shining really nice.
Also just installed the OEM wind deflector. I think the matte black looks good on billet silver. A few pics.

Replaced the two front corner speakers with Kicker 43DSC3504 DS Series 3-1/2" 2-way car speakers from Crutchfield. Total was $45 ($11 was for trim removal tools I didn't have, so the speakers were not even $35) and it arrived within a few days. Install was as easy as everyone said and the sound is also a good as everyone said. Great easy upgrade! Thank you all who posted educating me on products and tips.

Yes. seals up nice and tight.

Are you still able to use remote tailgate drop? I cannot, so I may loosen it up a bit. Then again, I've never had a remote drop tailgate before and I'm not really missing it. It'd be just my luck that I would drop it remotely one day and it would hit something.

On a clear day, I can see Seattle from my house.
Saw this online the other day. Anyone have any experience with this company? Looks cool but would be afraid of it damaging the hood. Can someone buy it and let me know how they like it lol

I saw it, too, but I'm waiting until I can see one installed on a 2019 Ram before I commit to anything.
Looks good the way they have drawn it on that Ford, but the Auto Ventshade website doesn't show one on a Ram yet.

I got the Inifinity Reference and I think they're OK, but not sure I love them. Wondering if the Kickers or JL would be better. Considering returning them and getting one of the other options. Opinions?

A couple of things I did for the install, which was a little bit of a PITA.

I didn’t remove the two plastic fasteners in the weatherstripping close to the edge of the hood on each side since the kit doesn’t provide replacement fasteners. Without fasteners to hold it up, the ends of the weatherstripping would be loose. This is where the “slide on” clips go.

Also, I screwed into the four middle clips thru the holes in the weatherstripping to hold up the weatherstripping. Otherwise, the weatherstripping will just kind of dangle in those areas. Kind of like on the ends without fasteners to hold it in place.

Just take your time. Took me about an hour.

I didn’t even read the instructions because I watched an install video that I posted on here a few days ago. I just pretty much followed what he did.

I love that raised look on stock rims. Very very nice. How do you like your tint? 20% on the fronts and 5% on the rears? What version of 3M is it? My wife just had 3M FX premium 30% put on her fronts but all I see are halos with my Costa Sunglasses on in it.

What issues did you have with the lomax? I’ve had none.

Check a few posts above. I posted some pictures. One rail came in damaged, the panels feel flimsy, and there are 6 places I can see light coming in when I crawled inside it. Definitely won’t be water tight.

I really like the tint, I know it's 3m but I'm not specifically sure what type. I wanted to go 5% all around but man these state troopers in Texas are hardcore about tint and I don't need reasons to get pulled over. So I went somewhat legal.. (25% fronts is legal I believe)

The polarized lenses on your costas will create the halos lol
