yup yup!

cuz if u get bored and you pull up images of ppl's trucks who have gotten the katzkin leather installed, you will ALWAYS see a small section that is puckered. Might be a little, might be a lot, and if you don't see it, its cuz they didn't post that part...lol

AND if by chance some lucked out and received a magnificent install with, "zero pull" ANYWHERE, believe me they are in the minority, even the installer admitted to me he couldn't confirm 100% fitment 100% of the time, and that that was somewhat of an unrealistic goal as it is an "aftermarket product"...

He said he would be more likely to recommend the Katzkin IF the seats needed replacing due to wear/tear/, but not to take BRAND new seats and chunk 'em...lol

People usually take pics just after install, after a few weeks and some sun/heat, they smooth out. I’ve had two sets, would do again if I didn’t have a Laramie.

Yup, you're eye would always go right to the imperfection everytime once you know it's there

I installed a bull bar - not sure I have seen anyone else with this mod to date.

I also bought OEM tow hooks and sprayed them red before mounting.

I like the look.

What bar is that? Does it interfere with the parking sensors?

On Rough Country’s site they mention the bar may interfere with sensors.

Finally received my CPLAY2air adapter for Wireless Apple Carplay and so far it seems to work great. A little extra load time as it connects but that was expected. No issues with sound Quality or touch screen speed was noticed on initial use.

Installed my Mopar hood and window air deflectors today (I'll get around to pics later....). Anyway, one of the hood deflector clips popped off and fell into the engine well, it might as well have been the abyss. A tiny black clip lost somewhere in an all black engine compartment. I looked with a flashlight, rocked the truck back and forth, checked behind the wheel wells, basically everything I could think of. While looking for this tiny clip I was praying was not lodged in one of those important moving parts I found garbage laying on my front suspension. One item was a wire tie which I figured was from the factory build but I also found this odd looking plastic stopper, er plug thingie???

Long story short by some miracle I found my clip, finished installing the air deflectors and now left wondering if this mystery piece is actually important and needs to be put back.

It appears to be a Viking slimline cap (part # 876-0039)

No big deal, their used on the assembly line. Surprised it lasted that long hiding somewhere.

Got it back from having the 5100's and 285/55r22's put on. Figured it was such a nice day gave mine and the wife's a quick wash.

Any rub with the new tires? Are those OEM rims. I am leaning toward a mopar lift, with what looks like the same wheels and want to put grapplers on, leaning toward that size.
Hows the ride, what do you think of the 5100's.
Love the Alfa, I had a giulia quadrifoglio for a year traded for my ram. Was an awesome car, wish I kept it as a second ride.

Not what I did, but what I discovered. I know, there already other threads about this, but wanted to point out the headlight condensation issue is not solved. Haven't seen any 2020 owner complaints, just early build 2019s. Was locking the truck last night to go into work and saw this condensation shining through the headlight beam. At first I thought I might have done something to my headlights by putting LED bulbs in there a couple of weeks ago, but come to find out this has been a prevalent issue. The first picture taken around 4pm yesterday is not great for the headlights, but you can see there is no moisture evident on the passenger side. The other pictures were taken this morning after I got off work. Did some research on this issue last night and it looks like I may have a battle on my hands getting these replaced by the dealership; I hope I am wrong. I tried to upload the video, but not sure how to do so.

Can you link what parts you used? Does the curt adaptor allow you not to cut into the truck wires? Then use butt crimps to connect to the led?
Thanks
Here you go:

Here is the thread, https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/luyed-led-new-frugal-led-reverse-light.16538/#post-227619, but I got bits and pieces from a couple of threads. It really started with the LED license plate thread then when member, Neurobit, had scratched the license plate and went with the Luyed's then I followed with that.

I found it easier to remove the connecting access point from the bumper. There are just two push clips to push in and this releases the access connector to push out. Once this piece is out then you can get to the release clip on the harness connector. I never could get mine to release with it still attached to the bumper. I pushed the release clip and then with my other hand I pushed up slightly and backwards to release the plug from the housing.
