Thanks! Me too! But unfortunately it will be months before that happens- first the truck needs to arrive some time in November and then I will have to wait for winter to come and pass...

:) Thanks! I got what is called tinted. I thought they would be double tinted - that was the little darker you refer to, but they turned out great and I am quite happy with how they turned out. Can't wait to see them on either. Just need to get the truck first - haha! Mid November is now the time, they say... Then I need to decide on which tires... The wholes look great - you can not see that they're drilled differently - at all.
kinda new to forum but do you have pics now of wheels on truck

Changed the oil for the 1st time today. Used Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5W20 and a Wix oil filter. It wasn't that bad but I need to do something to prevent the Rhinoramps from sliding. The Ram is much easier than the 2016 4Runner was.

Wouldn't you want to put those mirror caps on before you have the PPF/ceramic done?

Dropped off the Bighorn for ceramic coating, will post pictures when done.
Ordered Pro Comp Prodigy 18" wheels, Motofab 2.5" leveling kit w/Readylift UCA's, Nitto 295/70R18 tires and picked up a pr of rear wheel well liners.
Will post before and after pictures on all of that.

I believe that I am in love with your garage. Can you share more pictures of it? :love:
I am hoping to get the bar top finished in the next 2 weeks. Have a Harley Bar & Shield emblem going in the angled piece of the bar on the 45 and then poker chips of all the dealerships I have visited being set in on each leg then all covered with 1/8" epoxy. Then lighting under the front overhang and under the back of the bar. Then hang TV and Hickory Liquor cabinet and she's ready! 20190815_073922.jpg

Any pictures yet?? I am anxious to see it. I have been looking at the Vapor Wheels for my truck.
Lol, not yet. My appt was for 9:30am this morning at the tire shop but the tires are still on the FedEx truck so I came home. I'm going back this afternoon.

Try putting it in 4 wheel drive, that should get you up on your ramps with out pushing them away, ( assuming you have 4-wheel drive)

I read that is one of the solutions. But, my truck is 2WD. There were a couple of other suggestions as well. One was putting no skid tape down where the ramps will sit. I will try that first.

This is for this Saturday's project, I ordered the Amp running boards and they will be here tomorrow they will be installed this Saturday, I looked at the directions and they seem pretty straight forward. The directions say 3-5 hrs, I have read a couple of posts saying 2 1/2 hrs. I just hope the rain holds off!!
