No ;):ROFLMAO:, but his examples are not comparing apples to oranges. He's pulling sh*t out of his A$$ :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

This is interesting. There is a legal reason why the Raptor's and TRX have them:


The 2024 Raptor is 86.6" wide
The 2024 TRX is 88" wide
The 2019 Ram Rebel is 82.1" wide

I don't know if that article is true or not.

Either way I could care less lol. I like the look. Would have been less work replacing 1 of 3, instead of 5, when they burn out.

And yes, it's different if you put a TRX badge on a regular Rebel. Or an M badge on a non-M BMW. If we're playing that game, putting ID lights on a TRX or a Raptor is like putting a "Peterbilt" badge on or "Mack" Bulldog on the hood lol.

Anything wider than 80” it says….my Big Horn is 82.1” (actually a tick wider now with the slight tire poke) wide so I’m just making sure I’m within the confines of the law. 🤔😉🤣

Not "today", but over the past week: debadged it, detailed it, polished and sealed the paint, installed a Bedrug and a Truxedo Pro X15 Tonneau cover.

Monday she goes in for a clear bra and ceramic window tint (all windows).
Let’s see a pic!

Thats a damn good run!! Most only make about 2 years lol

Mine made it a little less than 2 years, got a Duralast and that one pooped the bed too. Luckily, it was before warranty and got a new one fo' free.
I was surprised it was the original. At least now I know what I've got and how long the warranty/ expected life left is.

Uh oh. Here come the grill light police lol.

Looks great. The lack of boards with the bumper and wheels just works on your truck. Beautiful.
Yeah, I feel mine looks like it has an overbite because of the running boards, but they get used due to lift, and not wanting to spend $1000 on retractable ones right now.

Or are the TRX, Raptor's and my Rebel fake over the road semi's? Really begs to wonder.

Maybe I should get an air brake kit and a air horn? lol

I think mine is original also and I've owned the truck since September 22. I ordered a battery booster from Amazon a month ago to be ready when mine poops out.

Thsnk you! I have my grill lights wired to my switch panel, I only turn them on when the grill police isn't around 🤣

But, for real, I got tired of them being on all the time so that's why I wired them so they only come on at night.

And I love not having running boards! Wife, 10 year old, and 5 year old have no problems jumping in and out lol I don't wanna swing the cash for retractable boards
