What did you do TO your RAM today?

I successfully added remote tailgate release for about $10. My fob had the terminal points on the circuit board for the release so I ordered a set of micro buttons and soldered it on. Had to remove some of the rubber under the button but that was easy. Now to find a way to add the interior tailgate drop button.

I didn’t think to take photos before I put it back together but you can see the four solder points in the middle left. Just needed the button soldered on. I also already added the tailgate damper prior to this.

That's awesome!! Would you mind sharing or PM'ing the link to where you got them and a part# I have a PDM (power distribution module)display that the button broke and quit working and looks identical to those.

Thanks in advance!

Cheap but got the job done. Soo many that I won’t use though.
 
Any install tips? Mine arrives today.
It was pretty simple. Can be done with one person, will be faster with two. There's a video on YouTube that shows the install, which is helpful to watch beforehand:
.

Only thing I would add is that it says to align the leading edge of the tracks with the inside boundary of the truck bed. Mine needed to go 1/2 to an inch closer to the front of the truck to get the bars to lay on the edge of the bed.
 
In no particular order: Floor mats, mud flaps, screen protector(matte), delete "SPORT" decal(s), B&W turnover, B&W Stow n go 7.5 drop
