What did you do to your Ram today???

[StuartsFriend]

Mine fit fine, everything lines up and stays with the velcro

The wrinkles on the right flattened out as soon as it got hot

I see, it is still not what I expected. I understand that the fabric may give a bit, but as it turned out, it is not what I want.

I like it, but I’d be scared to use my truck as a truck!

That's why you take it out if you need to use the bed for dirty stuff. It's marine gradencsroet and foam, so no issues getting wet. I just power washed mine to clean some oil off of it from hauling an engine block to machine shop.

My cousin still owns a 95 Silverado his dad bought new, and I’m pretty sure the Bed Rug was installed in the late 90s. It looked great at a family BBQ just a couple months ago. Granted he babies that truck, but it’s held up amazingly in an open bed for more than 20 years. Have to assume they’ve only gotten better since then.

I use it as a truck weekly.
I had a 15' tall tree getting blown down last spring, chopped it up and loaded it into the truck and hauled to the dump, no harm to the bedrug.

I have a tarp that I can place on the bed on top of the bedrug if I were ever worried about damaging it but nothings ever happened to it, it's been in the truck for 5 years.
Realistically, I'd rent a $20 u haul ramp trailer if I need to haul dirt or mulch simply due to the ease of unloading

My previous truck had on as well, the only damage that it had was from an idiot at Lowe's that loaded a pallet of junipers in the back and then tried to slide the pallet while I was paying.

They bought me a new bedrug but that likely would have damaged a spray in liner as well.

Spent a week in the woods and traveled many gravel and dirt roads! Truck was a mess when I got home.

Friday the 4th -
Gone camping in the mountains.

It doesn't look like a lot but the truck was 9 degrees off before the rocks.
Even with the rocks I was still about 2 degrees off.

Also tried e-biking... a much welcoming change when trying to ride a 1996 bike with a gear changer that goes through the whole pre-flight checklist before deciding to change gear.
(both bikes - e-bike and the 1996 bike - belong to my friend. I need to go get my bike from the storage and do a complete overhaul since last time I rode it was... 2012. I don't even know if that thing rusted away already or not)

It was this scenery that I decided to not mess with leveling the truck further. Usually I only accept 1 degree off but this scenery...

At what point is it no longer camping and is now glamping?

I guess you don't have running water in there. Yet. So... still camping?

lol!

it's glamping when I get myself in a $200k van with hardbody insulation (that's not my van... guy had to give up his truck to get a storyteller van because of wife)

lol my setup is considered "glamping" for a lot of folks but still it's camping for me lol

I’ll call this glamping.
4 slide outs, Fireplace, Big Screen TV with surround sound. 3 pc bath, Walk in shower. King bed. Washer dryer. Generator. Yes and onboard running water. LOL

Or This.

I’ve done it both ways. I’m just about to set up my Limited to be towed.
At my age, it’s the only way to camp!

 

[RiffWrath]

I opened the hood at stared at the engine wondering if i could tackle the spark plugs. Wondering if i should wait till fall when it isn’t 30C. I ordered the tool. See how far i get.

It was the other day, I finally finished the install of the battery isolator, lithium battery and 1/0 wiring.

 

[KINGFUROOK]

First oil change and it went smoothly. Had my son ask to join in and I let him help out. Taught him how to do it, and he got his hand dirty installing the filter and drain plug, and checking the dip stick. He was thrilled. Tried the ziplock bag trick and made a mess

For those who will ask; I went with Mobil 1 5w-20. I ran Mobil 1 for 20 years in the Corvette so it's my default. A Lot of folks recommended the Pennzoil ultra premium but it was sold out.

 

[Dogpatch]

Used the Ram to take the boat I bought a week ago to the new owner. Never even got the chance to use it. That’s okay….money in the jeans!

 

[HSKR R/T]

Went to local truck night at Quaker Steak and Lube. Poor turn out.
