What did you do TO your RAM today?

Ordered my set. This was not a good move by the factory.

Got some Thuren parts installed over the weekend and wheels/tires on. It looks much better leveled IMO

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.

I ordered a set of these as well .. do you guys like them ?? I thought they would look good on Granite Crystal and wanted something to prevent boot scuffs !!
 
I like them so far. I think they will help with the scuffs for sure. Install was easy.

Had my RH Midnight series bumper installed. Not the best alignment with the fender well. Anyone else have the same issue with their RH bumper? I like it overall. I ordered a winch at the same time I ordered the bumper. Was told it was winch ready, but turns out it's not. Just has capability of adding a winch. Meaning there is space, but need to source the bracket/plate to mount the winch and RH doesn't have adapter plates for winches.

Loosen the mounting bolts, use a block of wood and a floor jack, jack up the bumper by the front and tighten it all back down. They forgot to align it it looks like.
 
Finally got the bed finished up tonight.
Cut to fit and painted to match angles for the top of the bed rails with tie down holes.
Installed the fuel tank and pump Saturday.
Installed the toolbox this evening. 62E08FA7-B038-4F4D-9198-84CCD48C0996.jpeg

Alright...Cool, Thx! Figured they would get it G2G the first time. They are an off-road specialty shop.

Talk to me about this angle iron on your bed caps. Just some 3/16 steel painted? How is it held down?

The angle is 3”x3”x1/4”. I laid out three locations where the tabs for the factory plastic were not. One towards the front, one towards the rear and one closer towards mid point yet rearward because the box is bolted too providing another attachment point.
So once laid out, I drilled holes in the angle. Placed the angle on the rails and marked the bed rails. Removed the angles and used 1/2 sleeve anchor minus the sleeve. Basically a threaded rod now with a shank. Install the threaded rod portion flush with top of angle and welded it up and grind it down.
With a little body work you can’t see any signs from the top.
I do this often with our work trucks because we add ladder racks and this is a solid mount. I’ve also done this adding a tie in angle between the two bed angles at the front. I then had a place to weld a headache rack to that was solid. That was a bit of a chore as it was a fit, tack up, remove, weld up, grind, install to verify then take the unit to the painter. Awkward to handle but looks good and stout as hell.
