What did you do TO your RAM today?

Well, I replaced my dash corner speakers with Kicker speakers. The Metra harnesses made it a fast 5 minute swap.
I also mounted my radar detector to the mirror with my bellmount mount. I ran a direct wire into the liner, to the A pillar, to the foot well, where I wired it into the wiring harness for my AUX switches. Now I can turn on/off the detector with AUX 3 switch.

Those speakers make a huge difference. Transformed the sound of the Alpine system. It's awesome.

I have these in my cart. You fellas have this non-audio guy interested after so much chatter about a simple upgrade to the Alpine system. Under $100.....worth a shot. Over.....nah, I'm good!

Are they bushwacker oem style painted body color? I have the same flares but I kept them unpainted. I have a two tone black thing going on over here.

Exactly what they are. That rubber trim was kind of annoying to get lined up. I had the paint shop color match the flares and the trim pieces and letters from front grill. Ill swap the front grill stuff some day when the black led lights show up and i get the nerve to take the front apart. Youve got a sweet looking set up plus the crawler. This is the first time ive tried color matching stuff.

Looks great. Thanks for the kind words. When you go to do the letters on the grille, do yourself a favor and take the front end apart. If you try to pop the letters off you will break the grille (not the letters) and your new letters won’t clip in right and you’ll have to glue them on. Lol

Oh i wouldnt have the nerve to try poping them out. Ive heard things break if you try. I figure the grill has to come out to change headlights so ill do it all at once. Im still waiting on the lights and the nerve to pull it all apart. Lol
 
So I reinstalled my tailgate Monday.
I wasn't paying attention and backed into a concrete column :(
I guess it was an excuse to strip all the factory badges off ;)
I also ordered a replacement bumper 2 months ago. lol

I did add the Ikonic emblem today.
