What did you do TO your RAM today?

It’s a Weather Guard model #300207-53-01
Nice. They make a good box.

FWIW, the UWS quality has gone in the sh***er the last few years. I’ve gotten some pure garbage from them the last few times. The last box I sent back twice and settled on the third box which was still not great quality

So far it’s been a great box, I did make a piece inside the lock mechanism so I could lock the button in like the high dollar Weather Guard boxes. I did notice it’s hard to find a quality box for under $1500
 
Gator roll up cover came today. It was cheap. Time will tell how it does long term. Looks and functions nice right now.

Looks good! Also looks like you're about to get a lot of new neighbors!
 
Tell me about it. This is what happens after a divorce, meet a new love and make sacrifices. The house is beautiful but I need woods and land. That is in the works.

Looks good. I get good use from mine. Very handy. There's a rubber strip that goes over the tail gate I noticed you don't have or do you have it tucked in?

It was happy curled/tucked in from shipping. I have since peeled it out after shutting the gate and hope it trains itself that way. Good eye.

Sill protectors went on today. Thanks to whomever posted these last week.

Sill look good too. So to keep the rubber trim out, with tailgate open, pop the gator up using the lever, shut the tail gate, then close close the gator like a trunk. Little awkward but that's the best way to keep it sealed with the rubber out otherwise the tailgate just keeps pushing it in.

I spent good money on a Taylor Wing low profile and was disappointed with it. Also disappointed they never responded to my emails regarding the issues.
 
Installed the Boost Auto heated (power) convex mirrors.

Broke one of the factory taking it off. Tried to use a trim tool instead of just pulling on it like everyone said to do.

Also installed a 4x4 panel from an Off-Road option 2500 model truck and added the sales code for the hill descent, but no joy on it working. Thankfully, the diesel version part is only $50.

ETA: Have partial confirmation from Jimmy07 that the "Hill Descent unavailable" message may just be due to lack of slope angle.

Changed oil/oil filter and fuel filters. Just for grins I called the local stealership to see what they charge for the fuel filters $163 and $92. Ordered them from dieselfiltersonline and saved all of that extra money and spent it on beer.

How do you like the new mirrors? Did you do both sides? That hill descent panel is on my list of things to order.

I need to pick your brain about the mirrors, dude.

The mirrors (glass) can only be ordered in pairs.

To be clear, I did not install/change the entire mirror, just swapped the non-heated factory convex glass for heated glass available from Boost Auto.
