Not literally today, but about two weeks ago, I put in Fuel Blitz 18x9 +1m offset wheels, with 305/60R18 Nitro Terra Grappler tires. I’ve never purchased after market wheels before, but I really like the way these turned out. The +1 offset (vs +19 stock) gives a bit more of an “aggressive” stance, without sticking way far out. In the words of my friend who helped put them on, my truck now looks like a real truck instead of a grandpa truck.

Also got a new Frontrunner rack for my rooftop tent, and lowered it below the bed. Still making up my mind about this setup.

I went with Terra Grapplers instead of Ridge Grapplers mostly because they are lighter (XL load rating instead of LT E/F), and they’re sufficient for my needs.

Wheels (and tent) look great!!...do you have stock suspension or air? How close are the 305's to the upper control arm?

Other than picking up the new truck today I installed the Hellwig Swaybar, Red Hound door Guards, the Limited console slider (will sell the Laramie console slider), Installed Tazer, and console organizer.
Can you say more about your decision to switch to the Limited console?

I like that the cup holder and coin area is now covered and I think it looks nicer. You do lose some of the space in the coin area but I normally don't have a ton of stuff in it anyway.

Stock, no air, no ORG.

Plenty of clearance to the UCA. The inside of the tire is actually moved out by 3mm (30mm added width, divided by two, -18mm for the change in offset). The increase in height is minimal; 4mm by my calculations.

The only adjustment I had to make was to the wheel well liners, which rubbed a bit at full lock. Zip ties is all it took, and the rubbing was gone.

Not much to speak about, but took it through the wash this morning to get the tree sap off and when I got done drying it off I happened to notice the backdrop and snapped a picture.
Sure, I may be biased but I think it turned out pretty nice.

I have yet to see the red in person. Truck looks sick.

Added cam locks to my Bakflip MX4. made plate to hold the cylinder from turning, drilled through existing aluminum channel, still adjusting, need touch up on the paint, etc.

I want to be able to access the bed and inner tailgate, if the tailgate were to become stuck as others have mentioned on this forum. Also could be UN-accessible with a dead battery. I had key locks on my last vehicle, so I am ok with using keys instead of the cable access.

Did you have to disable the Bakflip lock on the inside?

How about posting your source for others?
Got the email this morning, they didn't cancel but relayed a 7-10 day delay in shipping due to inventory shortage.
If anyone doesn't mind waiting it's with Steve White in NC. I used the promo code CHA1 for another 6% off.
I paid $39.19 with expedited shipping, which now seems unnecessary lol.

Picked up a new ‘21 Rebel a couple weeks ago. Wanted to get Night Edition but had a hell of a time finding the options I wanted with that package. Figured it wasn’t difficult to recreate so replaced the factory RAM logo ($20 eBay) in the grill with black letters and did a black Line-X spray on the skid plate ($70) when I had the bed sprayed earlier this week. Really happy with how it turned out.
that's awesome. I was thinking about doing that as well since I can't have the night edition with red/black leather interior. Looks good!

I think RAM nailed it with the red tone on the 5th gens.

I had PPF installed on the front of the truck, part of the hood, the A-pillars, part of the roof, the mirrors and the headlights. Also, had it ceramic coated including the rims. Last, had them put clear ceramic film on the moon roof to help with heat and UV. They also fixed a small dent.

I installed my Amp Steps today! Bought them off a member on here last weekend. Everything works great except the lights aren’t working but I’m sure I’ll eventually track down what’s wrong. I want to splice my own LED strip lights into the harness anyway because I don’t like the stock Amp lights. I’m 6’ and I never had trouble getting in or out before but I gotta say these definitely make getting in and out easier. I ordered leather seats so I wanted the steps so I don’t wear out the side bolsters on the leather. These steps will help preserve the leather a ton!

I purchased the Vedder LightDraw OWB left hand draw for one specific purpose: to mount to the outside side of my 2019 Ram 3500 console. This thing is absolutely AMAZING & PERFECT! I simply removed the belt clips, that just unscrew, drilled to small holes in console, added a 1” spacer between holster and console so to make easy and quick access to gun, and used to bolts to fasten. The hand gun I mounted is the Sig Sauer 1911 Emporer Scorpion.45. I’m not kidding- it worked absolutely perfect and looks OEM. My leg does not hit it, seat fully adjusts and it is easily accessible and secure for when I’m on the road. Very high quality holster, excellent fit and nice looking. And holsters are MADE IN THE USA!!!
Same place I put my G lock. Very nice.
