What did you do to your Ram today???

[RickWaz]

Sorry i posted so late on that. Glad you took advantage of it on your second one.

No prob's. Just amazed at all the terrific upgrades and ideas that all the guys & gals have shared on this forum. Much appreciation to everyone!

These just came in; hopefully weather holds up for this weekend.

Did class V trailer hitch/receiver last weekend, but had a bent bumper support bracket out of the box. Replacement is coming tomorrow and will install if weather is good this weekend; then pictures of both.

Done, LUND Sidesteps from Summit Racing, Class V Tow hit receiver and Gadsden Flag bumper hitch plug from Etrailer.

Nice idea for using the Jam Handles on your Ram Box! You should work with @Waterfowler41 and the Jam Handle inventor and design a handle for the Ram Boxes, maybe using a hinge so the Jam Handle folds down for easier gripping??? Smaller market, BUT cool if done.

I honestly works quite well grip wise, however for jam handles to allow an easy, safe, fluid, 1-step closing movement they need to be as close to edge as possible, with as little "lip" as possible on what you're closing, and a good amount of hinge degree movement giving you time to get fingers out of way. More hinge movement can make up for the other two, hence why doors are so perfect for them. Door weight also helps.

The rambox surface I used was as close as I could get, but the rambox lip is kind of long compared to doors and the hinge movement is minimal so not much time to gets fingers out. Lids are also kind of light requiring more force to close, and given the other rambox+jam handle characteristics I don't even feel comfortable attempting it in one motion.

I'll do some thinking on a better handle for ramboxes, something that would be a single fluid motion without having to grip painted surface or reaching over to plastic. As it is though the jam handles made 2-step closing better for me so I'm happy.

THANKS Waterfowler41! Great vid's and Ram upgrades. I used your promo code for the 15% discount on my 2nd order of Jam Handles (3 hole, American Flags hydrdipped). I missed your post before I placed my 1st order of 4 hole American Flags.

What made you switch from 4 hole to 3 hole?

Finally decided to upgrade my headlights. Just arrived today and will install sometime this week. But I guess I wasted a lot of money on the LED bulbs for upfront for the old assemblies. Lol

Ebay purchase?

Got my second oil change at almost 15k and had my OEM bedstep replaced due to the recall on the old AB version and now the new model hits my exhaust much harder... And installed a set of advanced wheel locks that I will make a separate post about.

Hits exhaust?... I just installed Mopar bed step today - no exhaust interference.

Oh yeah it thumps mine pretty hard. My original one only did if I would let it slam back, this one does it when I extend it out and when I push it back in really hard. I’m going to see if I can do any adjusting tomorrow. I have an aftermarket exhaust as well, not sure if you do

Went w/ 4 hole for rear doors & 3 hole for front, based on amount of jamb real estate, or lack thereof.

Oh, that explains it. Sorry I didn't read you truck profile in sig...

I have OEM Rebel exhaust... it clears the tips easily - and is close to muffler, but not enough to touch...

been contemplating aftermarket, but with the bed step (and your predicament) now I'm having second thoughts.

I’m slacking, here’s the overview of my Duraflap mudflaps I installed the other day. I’ve had these on every truck I’ve owned. Great fit and excellent protection.

Yea. Bought the lights for $650. Lenses are in perfect shape. The one had a scratch on that bottom plastic part that you can’t see. All the hold downs for the lights are intact as well. I made out pretty good on these. Just hope they work. Lol

 

[whetrick1]

Where did you get them for $18?

How do the Ram letters come off of the grille. Do you have to have special tools.

Added some more running lights, a new relay box and a Raxiom Bluetooth controller. Also did a write up!

Added Bluetooth AUX switches, relays, and running lights

UPDATE: DO NOT buy the small amber lights that you see below. They are absolute garbage and almost all the lenses fell off within 3 months causing the LEDs to fail. A few weeks ago I decided that I wanted to add somemore running lights (which I still have some to add to the rear). While kicking...

Spray in bedliner- Upol Raptor; Bull rings rear and painted calipers.

I used some high heat stencils and silver under black high heat paints on the calipers.
