I wouldn't put much in the bins without the liner in. They don't look all that strong. You can put ice and pop, or other drinks in the bins also. They keep it cold a long time.

I learn new things about my ram constantly. Last week, I found out that the backseat floor storage containers came out.

So I wondered if I could put them in the bed of the truck to gain a little more storage. I have a bakflip tonneau cover that uses clamps to frame it in. I looked into buying an extra set of clamps and perhaps cutting into the bins in a way that would allow the clamps to hold the bins up. On the bakindustries website, they sold a set of 2 clamps (which was all I needed) for $14. They came in silver so I moved the silver ones to the back of the bed and used the black ones for my project. Drilled a couple small holes in the bottom in case rain gets in and here is the finished result.

I’m extremely happy with it and they’re being used to store my recovery gear. $14 for some jerryrigged ram boxes! Probably don’t even need to get extra clamps but I thought having more to hold the frame down would be nice. I’m not very handy at all but I thought I’d share cuz maybe someone who is handy could use this method for other possibilities. On the website, I also found clips and a rod for about $9. So I tried this:

I’m going to flirt with the idea of using this to put grocery bags on this so they don’t roll around. Its a bit high off the bed and if it doesn’t work, I’ll just put up the other box.

Cool rig... check out my poor man version... https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/what-did-you-do-to-your-ram-today.1686/post-295881

lol...thanks! That would be me, myself, and I!

Ahh bummer and thanks. I figure even from the dealer they can’t be all that expensive. Or I could wrap mine in vinyl too. Your Truck looks great by the way!

I've found the color matched ones for my Laramie online for about $25 each plus shipping.

Installed painted mirror covers. Took my time with a flathead screwdriver and didn't break either mirror!

Looks awesome!!!

I fixed my RC 2" strut leveling kit disaster.
Last weekend I had a disaster after spending 7 hours changing OEM struts to RC 2" leveling struts only to find out that my front was raised 3" and not 2" as desired. Contacted RC and started a return. In the mean time bought 1/2 inch wulf strut spacer and installed it instead to get some results and not to have wasted my time completely. This time it took only 3.5 hours to redo everything. On a positive note, I gained lots of experience working on suspension components.

I am looking at reducing my rake a little and was wondering if the 1/2 spacer gave you a true 1/2 inch and could you notice a difference in appearance much without and with the spacer? Thanks

Did some outside detailing today.

Tried the new Turtle Wax Seal and Shine. Pan on youtube really liked it and it seemed to test very well. Gonna see how it compares to CarPro reload that has been on it since purchase 8 months ago with two applications over those 8 months. For fun I put some Chemical Guys cherry wax on the hood to see if it added gloss.

Just wanted to add it has rained every day since this post including the same day.

Water beads and slides like it should.

Finally got my rebel wheels and Falkens on

Had an oil change, luckily the rain held off while I wandered about outside. Could have waited inside but its one customer only as their area is small so thought it best to leave it free.

As of yesterday and last week Ive added steps, bed liner coating, decked storage system, rear seat storage and my new rack. Just waiting for my lights to arrive to mount to rack.

The decked storage looks great, I always wonder about something like that and end up with a load of chaos under a cover instead.

I added my LED DRLs and I used a Micro II fuse tap and used F60 under the hood. My lights activate with the ignition and turn off on a delay like the headlights. There are small square openings on the bottom of each side of the active shutter, so I ran my wires through there and then just played the zip tie game all the way to the fuse box.

Isn't F60 the ECM/ PCM Fuse? I'm looking for an ignition powered fuse under the hood but I don't like the idea of piggy backing off of something important like that lol.

It is, but if you use a fuse tap to properly hook it up, you will blow the lesser strength fuse going to your added equipment before blowing your ECM/PCM fuse. I don't have much electrical experience, but from what I have learned from watching many car audio type videos, it is safe to do with a fuse tap. I have personally had no issues, but it is fully reversible in seconds if I were to have any issues. Also there is an onboard replacement fuse should it blow while I am in transit somewhere.
