What did you do TO your RAM today?

Do you have the surround cameras? if so does the Grill Guard interfere with the front facing camera?
I do. It does show up on the camera, but you can still see whats in front of you.
 
I tried out my Chemical Guys washing kit. I LOVE the foam cannon! I haven't tried all the waxes/interior sprays, but the wash and tire cleaner worked great!
Be careful with their waxes around plastic trim.

Used on my 2021 1500, but didn’t take that piece of the instructions on their paint sealer wax and ended up using erasers for 2 months cleaning up my doh’s!

Does an amazing job aside from that.
 
Looks great. Is yours leveled? It doesn’t seem to have any rake.

I did not level it. It only has stock Ram air suspension. I did not check if it level or not. I did measure rear hitch height so I could check if I would need a different drop hitch. For what it's worth this 2022 3500 is just a smidge over 1 inch lower than my 2013 2500 at the hitch.

Ok, it’s the air suspension. I have read the same in other posts (1” lower than springs). Thanks!

Fitted up the front bike carrier to use when towing travel trailer. This is a Hollywood Racks Destination 4 platform rack. Short trip around the neighborhood and it seems stout. Bikes are very solidly held down. Had to add a Yakima hitch extension to the Curt front hitch to get the rack to clear the license plate bracket. It might fit without front plate but would be very close to the bumper I think.

Visibility is not reduced much at all. Barely see a couple handlebars over the hood. The bikes do block a lot of the headlights in the middle but we never plan on towing during the night.

I know some of you have ponied up for PPF. Is it worth it? I park outside 24/7/365 in 100 degree temps in summer, and down to single digits in winter. Also travel on gravel roads and scrape through wooded areas in BLM land. My new truck is a Laramie CCLB, billet silver, chrome grill/bumpers.
Thoughts?

I had some RV's with that film on the front. After a few years that stuff turned yellowish and then cracked. It was A MASSIVE PAIN to remove. No idea if this is the same stuff, but I'd rather just wash and wax than ever deal with that craziness again. My .02

I have the partial front end done on my current 2019 3500. I told the dealer to go ahead and do the partial on my new truck but the more I thought about it with the Chrome bumper and Grill on the new truck and with how high they sit I don't think there is a need for PPF. Unfortunately I didn't call my dealer back soon enough and they had already instaiied it. I will be doing a Ceramic Pro coating Silver package soon though.
 
Added Opti-Coat Pro ceramic coating today. Also added a Retrax Pro MX bed cover and Husky mud flaps 2 weeks ago. I will have Fluid Film undercoating applied before next winter. That's all I am doing to mine.

Did they apply the ceramic coating to the chrome? Or just the paint?
 
Upgraded the rear lights to “night edition” halogens. Picked them up local from a gent who switched them up for NE LED lights. I like them, gave the subtle smoked look I was going for.

Obligatory before and after:

Popped my front shock mount on the way home.... Good ol Illinois roads.

That looks bad in a couple ways. It doesn't look like it was welded to the top part and looks like rust. And it might just be the picture, but the mount bracket itself looks like it was cracked for a while and oxidized where it broke.
