Installed some Duraflap mudflaps. Was on the fence after reading a few negative reviews elsewhere, about the stiff plastic used for the flaps rather than flexible rubber.
In my opinion, any fears about that are unfounded. These things are heavy duty, and incredibly easy to install. Raeme (their salesman) is super knowledgeable, and there’s a whole interview/numbers gathering process he’ll walk you through during ordering.
Really happy with the result. (Any rocker panel mud was there BEFORE the installation!)

I've had Duraflaps on my last 3 Rams. I've never had an issue with them, you won't be sorry with your choice.

My 50gal slip tank took about 2hrs to slip the diesel into the 50gal main tank. I had first installed the 12v solenoid from Amazon so i could use an aux button from the cab, then I decided today to add the Carter fuel pump to speed things up. All are in 3/8" fuel hose. Now the transfer takes about 30 minutes by simply pressing Aux button number 4. There's not many places to mount these items under there near the fuel inlet line without drilling into the side of the bed. I bolted a bracket onto one of the slip tank mount bolts (that runs down through the bed to mount the tank) for proper placement somewhat inline with the hose/flow.
I hope it doesn't matter that the solenoid is now after the pump. My brain seems to think it should have been installed before the pump, but the manual safety shutoff valve (at the tank) can be used if a leak appears.
In either case it works really good and I hope it gives someone else a good idea to meet their own needs.

Got my DeeZee bed mat installed. I don't recommend this brand. It's thick/tough stuff, but i can't get the curl out of the end from shipping it rolled up. Also, it's not a perfect fit so I had to trim it a bit in the back corner. You can see where I trimmed in the top photo, in the rear corners of the mat.

Ive had one for about 5 years. They’re super tough.

How long did it take to lay flat for you?

I’m not sure exactly but it did lay flat. I’ve been happy with it. It’s now cut down and lives atop my decked system

Use a heat gun. It will help. Just being out in the sun will help. I had the same issue

Bought this beast in may 2024. Its a 24 tradesman (6.4 gasser) with a bunch of options. Found it at a dealer about an hour from me. I feel like I stole it from them! Im running an extang solidfold that transferred right off my 1500 which I traded in.
In the first two weeks I added the Borla S-type exhaust. It sounds like a muscle car. Then weather-tech mud flaps. Today I tinted the front windows to match the rest and also had the windshield tinted to the AS1 line. (Ok, maybe a bit past it). It immediately made a difference driving into the low sun on the way home from the tint shop.
Tomorrow the tailgate drop strut will arrive and I will install it. The weather will be nice tomorrow too so Im gonna apply a coat of 303 Graphene.

My eyes are old enough I really can’t see through tint at night anymore, but my son-in-law did this on his truck last Summer. HUGE difference in heat coming into the cab.

I ended up tinting the whole windshield. Now I can’t stand driving my wife’s jeep that does not, feel like a vampire when I do !

@BadKarma I considered it because I have noticed lately my eyes have become very sensitive to headlight glare at night, especially when the roads are wet. I frequently wear my polarized sunglasses when night. Might end up doing it later down the road.
@oppizzippo thanks. I love it!

Basically why I did it as well. I Drive a lot, most of the time in the dark. With that it’s pretty hot/sunny here in the summer and the truck sits outside 100% of the time. To me it’s noticeably different with blocking the sun/heat rather than only having the sides.
