What did you do TO your RAM today?

Thanks. It’s a low volume color. Timberline Green. I couldn’t get the sport package or Night Edition with the low volume color so decided to swap it over slowly.
IF you are going full fledged Night Edition with black accents that thing will look insane! Black and Green would look killer.
 
Here’s some information about this. Idk if you’re in the group. If not, join in. Plenty of good (and bad lol) information.

Man, it would be cool if that FB group approved my request to join. Still sitting there as membership pending :rolleyes:
 
Wanting to do this for my Tradesman. Not green though. Where are you finding the trim pieces ?

Might do better if you have a trusted paint guy. My buddy is so covered up, I hated to even ask. I was pretty happy with the match though.

If this has been available when I ordered I definitely would have gotten it!
 
I bought the truck on Monday. I’d been planning on ordering a 2023 and waiting, but my old Suburban was starting to show signs of impending expensive repairs. Found it in transit to a dealership on the far side of LA. It's a unicorn - a 2500 Limited Cummins Night Edition Level 1 with every option but a sunroof. 1684 pounds of payload - I didn’t know that was possible to go that low in a non-Powerwagon 2500. The first picture was yesterday, the last day the truck was stock. The BBQ place is legit if any of you are in OC.

Just finished first mod - tinted windows. 30% on the rears over the existing privacy glass, 15% fronts, 50% on windshield.

I have a number of parts on order, we’ll see what arrives first.
 
I got two boxes, one with the Mopar rubber mats, and one with RokBlokz mud flaps. Installed them both. I like the way the Mopar mats don’t overhang the entry frame. Wish they extended further up the front of the driver floor though.

As for the RokBlokz, the install was easy enough. I’m hoping they work to block all the road grime that was being thrown up on the paint. We’ll find out.

Looks good. You have a part number on those floor mats?

Installed the Midland MXT575 today.

Used this guy's build for inspiration: https://www-offgridweb-com.cdn.ampp...75-gmrs-mobile-radio-review-diy-installation/

20220917_154255.jpg
Self-contained hand mic mounted on the bullet point cb mount.

20220917_154248.jpg

Added a cat 5 port and external speaker.

20220917_161100.jpg
Mounted perfectly under the driver seat.

20220917_162432.jpg

Paired it with the Midland ghost antenna with hood mount.

Overall happy with the install. Did notice that the OEM carpet by the gas pedal is crowding said gas pedal. I can push it in about two inches by hand, but it will not stay seated--even with my floor mats re-installed. I may slide the center console back and see if I can re-seat it.
 
Just got the truck back from a few more things being done.

-tinted front door windows and sunroof to match factory rear tint.
-full paint correction
-full PPF wrap
-ceramic coated PPF

I tried to get decent pics of the quality of the paint now but didn’t do great lol.
NIce is looking to do the same in North Florida when the truck arrives.

that's a 50-watt, nice, the antenna on my 15watt is gone :-(. thank you for the writeup and pics, i will be doing something similar soon, I'm actually in the process of getting a repeater installed in our home to get more extended coverage.
