There's already a pocket plug with the Ram logo on Thingiverse. They fit the HD rail caps, but the 5th gen is different enough that I didn't like the fit. Mine will be a "remix."

One of the other members here was first in on this offering to make these (for a fee) so I'm not stepping on his toes. @gpattikjr ??

I'll have to go find that thread.. We'll talk about putting up a thread in the buy/sell/trade forum.

It may have been @kpecks

Now I know what my next 3D printer DIY project needs to be.


That seller on amazon has 320 reviews for his 3d printer stake covers... at $22.49 a pop... not a bad return on his investment!

Finished wiring up my bed lights. They are hooked up to a ground switch (top left of 1st pic) , so they turn on when the tailgate opens. The green switch is so I can turn them off if the tailgate is open. I just went with a cheap $13 set of strip lights from amazon. I may end up getting a better set of lights later on now that the wiring is all done. I had enough of the strip lights to run a section inside my toolbox as well.

Curious, why a third tow hook? Is it a far better leverage point or is there another reason?
Honestly I don't know enough about recovery to know if its better or worse than the factory tow hooks. There's no reason other than it has been collecting dust since I sold my 2nd gen a while back. Figured it was too expensive to just be collecting dust on a shelf.

Put on some real tires. 295/65r20 Toyo AT3. Unfortunately they rub on the sway bar at full lock. Fortunately Thuren makes a sweet ass high clearance sway bar. So as usual one mod leads to another.

That is the sickness. Bilstein leveling coil kit lead to a track bar and drag link and then airbags and blah blah blah. Its a fraying sweater and the dog wont stop pulling the thread lol.

Painted stock steelies and traded black tradesman bumper and grille for chrome. This was the plan before i even got the truck. Dig the stock steelies. Just needed em black. Old school look getting there.
