Just got a Ranchhand on today. I literally rolled into a Subaru in front of me at a red light and it creased my weak stock bumper and barely put a dent into the Subaru. So I decided to upgrade. :-D

That’s a Deer wacker!! Not sure if it would hold up to the big black buggers in my neighborhood though. I think I would rather smack a Subaru :oops:.

Added a set of Mopar running boards. I was originally going to go with a set of Westin R5 M-Series wheel to wheel but I prefer the more full-length step tread on these.
Of course, the Mopar boards bolt right on whereas the Westin wheel to wheel does require you to drill a couple 1/2" holes to attach an extra bracket at the rear of the step. These
are also a bit better constructed IMO (enclosed underside versus open underside that you add stiffener bars) and at $675 they were about $200 less than the Westin. All in
all, I am quite pleased with them and they definitely make life easier getting in and out of the truck. My wife was very happy to see them get put on. :D

I did look at getting the chrome version of the style you see on the Night Edition trucks but the dealership said those do not come in a kit yet and that it would cost $1300+
for the boards and all the connecting hardware. I was not willing to pay that price.

Yes, these are for a 6' bed, crew cab. The PN is 82213616AB, MOPAR W2W Stainless Steps. I actually ordered them from a local accessory shop that is affiliated with the Ram dealer here. I just looked online and Tasca and a couple other sites are actually selling them for $556. But who knows how much shipping would be. Also, it looks like these are being discontinued (probably being replaced by the $1300 ones) but I would assume you could still get from your dealer if you didn't order from someone online.

Also, when I said they bolt right on, I should clarify that you would need to install rivnuts in the existing rocker panel holes prior to bolting them on.

Plowed my way through a part of Cascade Lakes highway to the trailhead the day before they closed the gates for the season for a short hike/snowshoe. The PW made short work of it.

Love the pictures. One thing, how in the world were you able to keep the truck looking so dam clean ?

I was the only one out there that morning so I was never behind someone spraying me up the mountain. The hydro blue is good at hiding dirt as well. It just loses its luster more than anything.

Drove down to Bradenton and picked up my Bulletproof hitch. Needed a pretty steep drop on her rear to keep my trailer level. They’re pricey, but I tow everyday so money well spent IMO.

Finished up a couple of additions I've been slowly working on in the evenings before the dark and cold set in.

Amp Power Steps. I didn't order the mopar steps with plans to add RBP, but my wife got tired of waiting, so I went with these instead.

MBRP cat-back exhaust. It is definitely much louder than the videos online led me to believe. Don't get me wrong, it sounds good, but had I known, I'd have saved some coin and gone with Mufflex like I had on my 2016.

Installed AMP power steps on Saturday. Installation guide said 3-5 hours but between lunch and bourbon it took us 9 hours.

These really tuck up nicely under the body and almost can't tell they're on the truck. Overall pretty happy with them.

That's what I like about the Amps vs the factory steps. They tuck up higher. Not as tucked up as much as my 3rd Gen but still pretty hidden. They are also less picky about mud or dirt in the joints.

Couple of folks on here said the Mufflex/Magnaflow droned rather badly and sent it back...

Added some wheel well liners. These are by Rugged Liner (Part Number WWD09). These can take a little coaxing to get the holes to line up
so you can insert a fastener. All in all, I am happy with them. However, the one thing I do not care for is the fact that there are no holes to attach
the liner to the wheel well at the rear, by the exhaust pipe. If you look at the Well Liner 3 picture, the 2 fasteners you see are not actually attached
to the liner, they are just holding the trim piece on. There is also not an attaching hole in the liner where you see the missing fastener. There are
2 fasteners attaching the liner back by the frame, 2 on the top of the wheel well and 4 towards the front of the wheel well. They could have easily
had an attaching hole on the backside. That being said, everything does stay put, nothing flaps around or makes any noise.
