What did you do TO your RAM today?

[dieselscout80]

Have been slowly checking things off the to-do list on the new rig over the first few weeks of owning it.
1. Got rid of all the chrome badging and the sport decal
2. Ditched the chrome steps
3. swapped the wheels with a set of Black Thret Offroads which are more agressive than I was hoping, but couldnt pass up the deal on offerup.
4. New-to-me trifold hard bed cover (not pictured)
5. Removed plastic bumper valence and added a CJC Intercooler cover
6. S&B Intake (not pictured)
7. Thuren 1" soft ride level coils in the front with Fox 2.0 shocks and adjustable trackbar

Need to decide on a final route for the wheels so I can get the tire decision made, but still quite a bit of tread on these Falken AT3s that were on it when I bought it, so not in a rush there.

How did you remove the Sport decals?

How did you remove the Sport decals?

You just need to slowly peel them off, that's how I removed mine. Then clean off any residue left behind.

 

[AZCummins]

Yep, just peeled them off and hit the area with mineral spirit and the a quick hand buff. Surprisingly easy.

Swapped out the lugnuts for all black ones. It's called the Night Edition for a reason.

What was the cost of the lug nuts? Looks sweet

 

[1stindoor]

Ordered them through ebay. $40 with shipping. I'll see if I can find the link.

Last steps of my initial upfitting on our 5500, window tint. More to come...

 

[jsalbre]

Is he tinting the outside of the window?

Is he tinting the outside of the window?

They use the outside as a template to cut it then move it around to the inside and install....it's an old school way of doing it....

That’s the only way I’ve ever seen it done, including the windshield

my guy has a template machine....types in your car and what year and which window he wants and poof! spits out a pre cut piece of tint....now on the windshield he still does it on the outside due to it having to be preshrunk....

My problem is I have a chrome lock nut on each wheel which I'd rather not part with considering the rise in crime in the neighbourhood.
If I painted it to match the black nuts, I'm sure it will be chipping off and look like **** in no time with the salt and sandy roads.

 

[1stindoor]

I'm certain I'll have to eventually paint or replace these too. But they look nice today. I didn't even look for locking lugnuts in black...hmmmmm

Maybe a black plastic cap from Amazon? I put some dark grey ones on my RS4 (knockoffs) summer wheels for my Audi to match the center caps.

Finally got around to giving the truck a good bath!

Dose anyone know what size for these caps, there are a few sizes, the lock nuts are bigger I believe so what dimension would I have to measure to get the correct size for the lock nuts?

These don't look to bad and they stay on.
