Is the red ring around the start button housing included in the button that you purchased? I ahve seen plenty of red start buttons and they are easy to find online, but I have never seen one with a red outer ring. Looks awesome!
I painted the outer ring

Since my AC os finally working likes it’s supposed to after two dealers and almost three months, I had a serious backlog of posts to make on here. Without further ado….added Mopar window visors, got rid of the crappy good years for ridge grapplers in 305/45/22, and had to get my revolver X4S for the MX4.

Oh and as of today, I also washed it after two months of rain

How noisy are there? Do you have any rubbing?

I don’t think they’re noisy at all. I had them on my f150 for 30,000 miles, before I bought Ram. I was trying to wait until the factory Goodyear’s wore pretty good….but I couldn’t take it
There’s a little rub on entry exit mode. Only at full lock though

That seems to be the OEM tire size, so why they spacers? Did you do the spacers for effect only?
Spacers make the stance look more aggressive. It's purely a cosmetic upgrade but it makes the truck look a lot better, IMO.

bought this heavy bastard for 35 bucks and got it on the truck to try it out.

its a home made unit and definitely could use a couple more stabilizing sticks. i may tack a few things on.

30 psi for driving down the road. sits fine and is way easier than getting the bike into the bed of the truck

Looking at your second pic I was thinking, no wonder it's so heavy, it has a basketball hoop attached to it. 😂

Anyone else here ride? Used the ram for the main reason I bought it for once lol. Been waiting 8 1/2 months for this thing to come in. Came even to the point where I did not think I was going to be able to secure one.
Awww yeah! Ducati!

Thanks for the follow-up. How do you like the tires? Are they noisy? I do a lot of highway, but we have a cabin and like to do a lot of hiking that has us on firebreak roads and such.

Finally, care to share where you got the spacers?

Sorry, I just answered your question about why people buy spacers.

After postponing it for months and almost getting stuck choosing a bad path while rock crawling in the woods, decided to put a front facing camera. Works like a charm and looks like stock.

I had a homemade hitch carrier when I drove a Jeep. I had to have it because my garage was too small to store a trailer. The guy who built it added tie down bars with eye bolts to keep the bike in place. After I added an anti-rattle hitch stabilizer I only used the tie downs on the front and never had a problem. I did wrap a bungee cord around the bottom of the back rim so the back tire wouldn't jump out of the channel.
