Business: I use the Mudflap app. It requires a debit or CC to be tied to it and is truck stop focused. Personal: GasBuddy app is great. Free, no-strings-attached. Have been using it for over 10 years to locate gas or fuel spots locally (AZ) and all over the western US. Personal travels when...

Putting a positive ownership experience up mixed w/ some sarcasm rather than the whining I see a lot of across the net. 2024 Cummins, Asian, 4.10’s, 3500 DWR, 4x4, limited slip, dual alternators, Laramie Plus. Taken 12-19-25: Initial unfit thread here: Thread 'Mykaos Upfit'...

I really like RAM’s center console design. I’m able to upfit / install / mount 2 phones and a tablet securely (meets commercial DOT standards) and employ just 1 additional mount, keeping the interior as clutter free as possible (meets my standards ). iPad is dedicated to ELD (yes I am...

Found these ball mounts at CMM Off-road. Very well manufactured. No clue what I’m going to do w/ the A piller one but it is just machined really nice.. lol. The lower center console one is just as nice. It is for my tablet. The stalk and tablet mount are Amazon finds, not all that...

Back seat area got a used blanket to cover the fold flat and I have something to keep between me and the ground in the event I need to get under the truck or trailer for a quick repair or tire change.

Interior got “minor” items. Did NOT want seat covers, however…. as much as I am in / out of the truck daily, the fact that I’m a grease magnet.. ended up w/ covers from local to me Seat Covers Unlimited.

Great, simple idea.

Just a couple of key items in the bed. After looking at weight ratings for the gooseneck ball I chose Mopar. Realized pretty quick booking up was a guessing game or 13 trips in / out of the truck to avoid a beat up tool box. The camera is a janky Amazon special. Not impressed other than it...

Thank you. Yes, it has been a lot of work. Most of the unfit was done on weekends in May while I was still holding a demanding job.

We designed the "foot" to be as long as possible and still clear the inner fenders and front pucks as well tall as possible and still clear the tool box. Not sure the front pucks are usable, however I only use the gooseneck. Electric ball valve back in place. V-2 transfer tank end...

The transfer tank saga..... Started w/ I just wanted to increase my range and plan fuel stops on my timeframe. Pretty much from the start I ended up w/ runs where a fuel stop would have cost me a motel room (we run ELD and I am not sleeping in my truck), I was in the office since 2014 so this is...

For rear air bags I went w/ the Air Lift 7500 XL, including the compressor. Mainly I wanted the bigger diameter air bags to level out the truck at a lower pressure. I also needed to be able to set pressures easily as my payloads vary load to load, sometimes multiple times a day. I run 5 psi...

Thank you. Yes, it gets ran hard. I am considering grid heater / aftermarket fuel filtration options. 12-2014 I installed a FASS 150 on my '05 and it has worked perfectly since.

Speaking of nut-serts... Not one sheet metal screw, self tapping screw or scotch lock got used anywhere on this upfit... Depending on available clearance and particular component being installed, either nut-serts or bolts / lock nuts / washers and occasional blue loctite .

Bug deflector took a bit to find one that actually would deflect bugs over the windshield. This AVS Platinum deflects 90 % of the bugs over the windshield. Found it on eBay. I will add, throw out the provided push pins, use 4.5 mm nut serts, which fit and line up perfectly and be done.
