What did you do to your Ram today???

Detailed her yesterday. Used the new 303 Aero Graphene spray. It is put over the top of Turtle Wax ICE Seal and Shine as I did not feel like polishing to remove the old stuff and 303 Aero states it works over existing coatings just fine although it might not last as long.

Love the color of this truck and the way it changes at night.

@Morenar great question...actually not sure about that one. I think I remember reading different thoughts on this one. Some dealers I think have said yes and some have said no...depends on your dealer maybe? I would your local to find out. My dealer did even know this lift existed! I ordered mine online for a whole heck of a lot cheaper ;)
Just found this on the mopar site.

....took her on a little road trip to the mountains in Virginia for fall color and backpacking....
Where at in VA? Ive been looking for places to take the wife and truck to do some fall activities and this is right up my alley.
 
I had the curved chrome 5” ionic on my granite crystal bighorn. They were fine bars, but wanted more of step on my bright white Laramie sport so I went with these:

APS Premium 6in Black iBoard Running Boards Custom Fit 19-20 Dodge Ram 1500 Crew Cab https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Y2WQH3N/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_-g6IFb0YY3G7Y
I like those running boards, the APS ones, can you tell me what the distance from the bottom of the door to the top of the running board is?
 
These Threads always seem to be fun and keep us all spending money so chime in and lets get the ball rolling....
Line-x and a tri fold bed cover for my 2021 Big horn. Tomorrow first road trip - 700 miles to Disneyworld. Next Monday, running boards and real wheel well liners. Wheeeeee

Which bed cover did you go with?

Bottom edge of door to tread on running board: 5 5/8”. I’d have taken a picture, but it’s dark out and I’d need three hands..

A picture would be great as I’m wondering if there is a large gap between the lower edge of the truck and the steps. My current Iconic tube steps have a large gap that I don’t care for. You can see that gap in my picture
 
Shipped my truck back to Colorado today from Maui. Might be the first time I’ve shipped a vehicle and didn’t put enough miles on it to even require an oil change. I’ll post some fun photos of its visit after I fly home. Betting my truck is the most well traveled Gen 5 on the planet, but always garaged. It was popular here on Maui, I couldn’t leave a parking lot without compliments on it.
@COSPILOT, what did it cost to ship your truck to Maui?
 
Mine will be here Thursday. Hoping to schedule installation of my ORP springs and Eibachs with my dealer next week.

What clip setting are you going with? I can’t find the heights that I previously found? With the ORP springs I’m guessing whichever is around 2” to get the 3” lift.

I don't want to catch heat from everyone if I start complaining about mpg... So I'll refrain.... But I'm starting to wish I bought an ecodeisel.

Plenty of posts about it and I know I provided in-depth analysis but there is really only a few very specific circumstances where an ED MIGHT make sense. It costs $3K more than the eTorque HEMI and $3200 more than the non-eTorque. Diesel fuel (in most cases) is more expensive as is the maintenance (oil changes, DEF, etc.). I always love when people think they love that they're "saving" money on fuel when they look at their MPG but ignore the up front cost difference, interest (if not paying in full with cash), increased maintenance etc. I drive 20K a year and I would have never broken even with an ED so it was an easy choice to make. Enjoy your truck!
 
We did the math a few years back on VW Jeta diesel vs gas and it would take 12 years (20k miles a year)of owning the diesel to make up for the cost difference. You think you save allot but it's just an illusion.

Dead level with the tread and you can’t see the bottom of the pinch weld. Up a little and you can see an air gap, but I also spaced the inside of the step 2” off the pinch weld. Anyone over 4’ tall isn’t seeing a gap standing close to the truck. There are more pictures in the amazon review by some guy with a similar handle and a damn good looking bright white Laramie.

@Morenar well there ya go! Thanks for finding that. It does not say parts sold wholesale to DIYers though, just says over the counter. Wonder if that matters at all? My parts still did ship direct from Mopar though.
