What did you do TO your RAM today?

[Darkside]

Finally found some time to get the windows tinted (XPEL XR 20%), installed my 2 gauge jumper cables, and put the 30” Rough Country curved light bar on the brush guard.

Damn. Looks like a lot of hassle. What you gonna be pulling with it? Mine came with goose neck prep package. I also opted for the lightweight 35LBS Andersen hitch for my 5th. Pulls my 11K Lb rig like a dream, made 11k miles with this set up without any issues.

Well, with life brings changes lol. Had I known we were going the 5er route I would have let the factory install the prep package. The truck is not my daily so the hitch will pretty much be in there for the summer unless I need to move something, in which case I have a clean bed. Bought a Reflection 298BH that I will be picking up in 2 weeks after a little golf getaway. I went overkill on the hitch but I scored it local on Marketplace for a good deal and it was the one I wanted. I do hear good things about the Anderson.

For the fuel filters, I went with the G&R Diesel Dual Filter (fuel and water seperator) in the rear and used their engine mounted fuel filter delete block. For the engine oil, used the PacBrake kit (since they offer a mount for our trucks)..BUT since you turned me on to PPE stuff, I like their filter head mount better. I'll just re-use the PacBrake filter head mount. My truck's a money pit.."here take my money" Now im eyeing the Allision conversion ATS does...plug-n-play...

I would do a lot of research on that. Too many are having issues and ATS in their usual fashion is blowing people off.

Good for you! Congrats on your bunkhouse. I also have a bunkhouse, but from KZ. Kids love it! We just came back from the Keys from spring break all the way to Chicagoland area, had a blast!!! Enjoy your rig when it comes in...

I put 87 fuel in mine, like a peasant, for the first time ever. They didn’t have 89 on Jekyll island and I needed fuel.

Did you feel dirty afterwards?

That’s crazy, can you even see past them to the right side of the truck?

I was looking into that recently. How do you like how it worked out? I have a galaxy z fold and nothing else so I was looking at the single mount with the tablet holder. Are you using the 7cm or 10cm arm with that haloview?

I took my 2023 hood scoop and grafted TRX lights onto it. Used the TRX harness tied into fuse 79 (clearance lights) and now my truck will look silly or potentially better at night. Hopefully it looks ok, the project was fun I learned some things and it would definitely look better next time. I can always buy the $30 stock scoop and put it back in if I hate the look. The only reason I went with the TRX lights is I wanted to make sure the color was the same as the clearance lights.

I installed the Carli front diff guard, switched the front diff to Amsoil Severe Gear 75W90 w/a little FR3 in it, switched the T-Case over to the HSS Adrenaline Pro Shift +4 I've been running in the 68RFE, and finally installed my amp side steps to make getting into the Diamondback box a bit easier. The amp steps conflict with my Go Rhino running boards just a tiny bit, but imo it's not that bad and they're still 100% functional. I was gonna fool with the brake line brackets to clear rear reservoir shocks to get that outa the way while I wait on the rest of my suspension parts, but it slipped my mind.

Neither the front diff or T-Case really needed servicing yet, but since I was already there... In another few thousand miles I'll be getting the banks rear cover and switching that guy to Amsoil Severe Gear 75W90 w/FR3 as well.

Replaced the front set of rock lights today and discovered a couple things (last 2 photos)... a camera plug on the passenger front and a long lost wrench in the bottom of the driver side fender.

What is that camera plug for? Front facing grill camera? Would I already the camera module if that us there?

Use VHT Epoxy paint, I can get about 2 years out of a coat.

Found the VHT paint at Advance and painted the hubs today. Got a little excited and have a few runs. I'm dating myself, who remembers the Johnny Bench Krylon commercials, No Runs - No Drips - No Errors? I had some today.

Finally added a compressor today. It's quieter than I thought it would be.

The dexterity required to install the screw that goes on the bottom of the NH Overland kit is no joke. It ended up being too long for me and I had to get a shorter one. Not sure if I want to add some auxiliary switches yet but I pulled some extra wiring just in case.

Working on a new solution for that lower bolt. Sourcing appropriate hardware has been a challenge.

No desire to do that to mine, but I don't dislike it. Nor do I think it is silly. It looks fine and can't hurt anything. I suspect there will be some aftermarket light kits designed for that space that will start popping up soon.

Some front end care today.

Rides much much better.

Seeing to the right is overrated.
I can see fine nothing moving my head a little to the left or right can't overcome.

I am using the 4cm arms. I tried the 10cm arms and it felt like the monitor was going to attack me, it seemed very close.
