What did you do to your Ram today???

Install was fairly straight forward & easy. Took me about an hour and half start to finish because I decided to do it in 32 degree weather after dinner in the driveway. I ordered the liners from a Ram dealer near my work so I could pick them up on lunch.

How's the fit?
Click to expand...
The fit is very good.

It’s best with two people to help hold the part up and use a pencil to lightly scribe the locations of the mounting hardware.

I did not have that luxury I made due.

The worst part is removing the 6 push pins holding the rubber seal to the bottom of the hood. They are very brittle and actually snap. Wear eye protection. The heads break off but the small tabs get lost in the hood. I will try an see if I can blow the small pieces out while running my small dyson vac.

The install kit should have some replacement push pins for the two outside ones you remove for ease of placing the outside metal mounting tabs. I am going to order a few to replace those. I’ve put some 3m double sided tape to hold the outside edge of the seal in the mean time.

Take your time , clean the hood, place the protective paint stickers as directed. Lining up the screws to the holes on the mounting tabs is another challenge, again take your time. I took an hour. I placed the protective plastic the guard was wrapped in on the hood to help keep any scratches from being applied as I did the test fit and mounting the guard.

Sorry to be so long winded. It really is a nice product, instructions are clear and understandable.

Thanks for the pro tips!
 
I was sitting in my wife's car about to back out of the driveway. I gave one last loving gaze back at my truck, almost trying to reassure her she was still my favorite, and I see this. Several cracks in my taillights where the clear part of the lens meets the red. After looking closer, sure enough. It's on both sides in the same spots. Not the best thing done today for sure.

Not bad. The 16 nutserts took a little while but they compressed well and seem very sturdy. Just had to take my time lining up the holes and cutting the bed rug.
 
Installed the gatorback mud flaps, a RAM head hitch receiver plug, and a "HEMI power" license plate today~ Now waiting for the Retrax Pro MX cover and deployable bed step.

Installed the Hellwig sway bar, exchanged the cargo light and third brake light bulbs for LED, ordered the OEM slush mats, a retrax tailgate seal, a pair of bd s2pro flat mounts to install in the rear bumper, got the rails and the cargo divider and waiting for the step, bedrug, retrax xr, Magnaflow catback to arrive,booked an all around tint, as well as got the switch pro 9100 and finally ordering a bd OnX6+ 20” tomorrow... Wondering about where to place the switch pro push button panel - any one with a panoramic installed one?

What bulbs did you use? I was looking on Amazon but wasn’t sure which to grab.
