What did you do TO your RAM today?

[Alligator John]

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.

Thanks, that helps.

Seeing to the right is overrated.

Lol, that's why they told us Left/Right/Left again when crossing the street as kids so there is precedent for your statement. If right was so important they would have doubled it up too.

Can I ask you... what size screens are all 3 of the devices you have mounted in the photo? and probably harder, a pic from behind the back showing all the mountings with devices in place.

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?

It’s been in there so long your long lost 10mm has grown to be 13

How long have you had your bilstiens? Is that surface rust?

Edit: I think I’ve dialed it in to acceptable levels

Check the vents too. My passenger side vent rattled from the first mile off the lot. Drives me nuts.

I keep my dash on the fuel economy screen. I can always tell when Regen occurs because my fuel mileage goes to crap. I flip screens and it will say Regen in process.

OMG!!!! I have a little one starting at 14k miles. I do have the BulletPoint mounting set and wonder if thats a culprit.....

The Bilstein's are about 2-1/2 years old, they are steel body with clear coat and the coating is wearing off. I plan to pull them off, sand them down, and paint them gloss black with some custom stickers.

On my last 4th gen I went apeshit with tessa tape on every single interior clip, the soft fuzzy stuff not the exterior, durable stuff. It works pretty well and I'm starting to get to the point on my '22 journey where I'll be murdering a couple rolls of tessa tape when I get some extended down time ....

Timber Grove bags installed today.

Single schraeder in the bed for now. Leak tested and jacked the truck up nicely, although I dislike the factory rake so won’t be cruising with more than 4-5 psi in them. Officially ready for 5er duty. Let’s go glampin.

Looks great!

Was the extruded aluminum tie down bar a custom job? Great idea. Just got a retrax for my 3500!

Thanks! Yes, it was custom. I needed to have a solid bar for quads, bicycles, etc. Mcmaster Carr for hardware and Amazon for the folding cleats.

Test fit the extruded aluminum. Looks great. Finally got it. I should have it installed tomorrow! Thanks for the idea clownpocket! I’m gonna do the floating look with the mounts on the inside under the retrax. And I’ll use rivnuts for the mounting brackets. More pictures tomorrow

Made some tweaks to my 8020 bike & MaxTrax mount so that it fits more bikes and my Wavian gas can. No holes drilled. It uses the holes that the front tie-down cleats were in. The best part is that it's made entirely out of parts that I had used when I made the drawer in the bed of my last 2500, so it was effectively free.

Started to use a bunch of that on my Laramie after the sub install. I feel like for every rattle I fix, 3 new ones form

Thanks! I spent many hours sitting in the bed fiddling with things until I got it to work. I’m thinking about ordering a few more parts and extending the frame around the entire bed. I need to find some screws that don’t rust though. The 8020 black oxide stuff doesn’t do well in the rain.

It’s ridiculous that they don’t have a OEM bed utility rail kit for the non-Rambox beds.

This stuff is what I use for rattling clips/panels where its a tight fit and I can't get like a thin layer of neoprene foam in there :

I also try to wrap all my wires in it anytime I add anything that's inside the truck so wires ain't rattling behind panels and what not.

Yea my last truck had a fox box with 2 12's in it that made the hunt for rattles a constant game of wack a mole. Right now I've got the Pioneer in the stock enclosure/stock power just so it sounds better, but I think this truck will get a 10" at the most long term. Chasing rattles got old after a while... and that was with mass loading and CCF everywhere inside the cab lol.

Washed it off!!!

My wimpy floor jack is not going to cut it for my incoming power wagon. Got a single use 25% off harbor freight coupon in an email that hooked me, so I picked up a badlands off road jack. Not bad for $225. I was hoping to keep it stored in the rambox or build a cradle for it there and delete the factory jack. But this thing is bigger than I expected. That may not work. Still I was going to need it for the new truck and impressed with it so far just putting it together. My bulletpoint phone mount came in the mail today too. The pile of stuff for when the truck comes in continues to grow.
