My 2019 had a set of running boards on it when I bought it that did not survive Michigan winters and were rusting. So, I ran across these RAM boards from Athens Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram (on-line) #82215294AC on sale with free shipping. So off with the junk boards after fighting with the rusted bolts and bolted the new boards on. CB02CA45-F1D8-475D-BD4E-B5BC6AE69B8B.jpeg

Finally got around to installing my exhaust yesterday (Borla S-type). I love it! It only took about an hour (no lift) and only because we tried to get the factory exhaust out first without cutting it. Love how it sounds, I can barely hear it inside the cab when cruising and with music on even less. Fit was fine, the driver's side had to be opened just a tad to slide on but everything was pretty smooth.

Just watched my truck get its *** beat by golf ball size hail. Dents everywhere. I’m driving it now and can see the dent all over the hood.

Picture from my neighbor.

Had it here too but it was down to quarter size and did no damage. It's not unusual to get ping pong/golf ball size through tennis balls size though.

Probably going to buy a hail protector, some one on a neighbors car a few streets over.

Sorry about the hail damage to your truck, I know the feeling.
In the late 90s I was at home when a large hail storm hit Dallas. Orange to grapefruit size hail, watched it beat the **** out of my Daytona Shelby. I could only stand in the garage yelling stop as it the clouds would.


The. 2 years later, it happened again, mayfest storms

I would just park my truck in the garage instead of in that bouncy house. 😆

NEW SHOES!
OE Creations PR192C, 22x10 +25
Toyo Open Country AT3's 33x12.5R22
Some shots from the installation shop, my driveway and work.
Truck needs a bath, but am super happy how it came out. 👍
Nice shoes! I've been considering the same OE Creations 22x10's in black. I believe this rim pokes out about 1/4" compared to the stock rims and hoping you would be willing to post a pic showing the tire/rim stance in relation to the outside of fenders, both front and back. Those chrome rims are a great choice and look really nice with your white truck and badging.

I'm also considering the AT3's, maybe bigger, and curious about your thoughts on the road noise level compared to stock tires.

Tinting is illegal here too, but a medical waiver will allow front driver and passenger windows to be tinted.
Yes a medical waiver is very helpful. My wife has keratoconus and her eyes are very sensitive to light. So the front windows must be tinited.

Picked up a bunch of 12’ trim boards and some other stuff. When I was loading up it was like a commercial for the ram boxes and the bed extender And my wife said the other 2 dudes there picking up stuff were peering over at it when I was tying stuff down.

Almost forgot to snap a pic (I was mostly unloaded at this point.)

Just removed my headlights because my extended 5/60 MAXIMUM CARE warranty sucks b@ll$!

I called Mopar and even though I bought the 5/60 MAXIMUM CARE warranty my faulty headlights are not covered. My truck is only 2 years old but I exceeded 36k miles. I purchased the 5/60 warranty knowing I would be putting extra miles on my truck, looks like it was a complete waste of money. I asked the Mopar rep if there was anything RAM could do for me, the answer was a resounding 'NO'.

My driver side light is completely dead. You can see the water leaking out. The passenger side is just as bad.

I'll be shopping for aftermarket headlights, I'm open to suggestions.

What was the warranty clause that excluded your headlights from replacement?

I've never seen anything like that. If I saw that car cover, this is what I'd imagine was underneath:
