What did you do TO your RAM today?

That's how I feel about the return of the RAM lettering on the '25 tailgates.

Yep.
I know manufacturer branding is nothing new, but I have counted no fewer than 13 places on the exterior of my truck where the Ram's head or the work Ram appears. If I had OEM mud guards or steps it would probably be 6 more!
Inside I see six Ram's heads (steering wheel, console lid and four floor mats) along with the word Ram over the instrument cluster and over the radio. I don't count the little Ram's head in the corner of the windshield since I included it in the "visible from outside" inventory.
Not in danger of forgetting what I'm driving, that's for sure.

Would love for someone to find something that looks OEM to replace the RAM on the tailgate. Even just a blank color matched panel would be nice.

New shoes! The Maxxis RAZR AT in 286/75R18 (actually 35x11.5) fit good, look good. I'll do visual inspection around the fronts in a few days but no rub that I've been able to hear of feel. . . . I'll also post pics back after I've washed it. Ram front.jpgRam Side.jpg

My starlink 12V power supply and roof mount arrived today.
Now I am forced to design a mount plate for the electronics and I will add my breather hoses to the plate too.

Mounted my Starlink Mini on top of my transfer tank with a magnetic mount.
Works well.

Okay, got a wash and a weight ticket to go with the new tires
Ram clean.jpgRam back.jpgRam weight.jpg
Compared to the door frame sticker that's +130# of accessories and +50# for the dog. With the weight of the truck I could go all the way down to 35 psi on these tires, but 50-55 psi will match the axle rating (6K ea) so I'll see how that rides. Tire shop went to door-sticker 60/65 and I swear I can feel every lug in each tire.

Run the proper pressure for the weight and you’ll get a better ride, better traction, better tire wear, and the tires are less susceptible to road hazard damage.
 
Maintenance day! Oil, filter, air filter, cabin air filter. Went with Schaeffer’s Supreme 9000 this time around, we’ll see how the green colored stuff works!
Side note for anyone who cares, the Purolator air filter is taller than the stock one but still fit perfectly. Thought I grabbed the wrong one but it’s the correct part #?!

Is it government regulated or an accessory? Is it needed because you guys drive upside down there? ;) :p Never seen it before.

Its government probably. Now I am worried if that hole that they drilled there for the wiring is properly inhibited and painted to not rust.
Its called gravity enhancers so we dont fall off the earth.

Trying to - extreme left end of the chart I've got is 35PSI - gives ~2300# ea to cover passengers and any cargo I'm likely to have, just have to air up before towing. For some reason it scares me to go that low on the truck, but other threads seem to match (https://hdrams.com/forum/index.php?threads/tire-pressure-unloaded.16120/post-340726) so I was gonne start stepping-down pressure.

@Rockcrawlindude I see you run this size tire - what are your normal pressures when not rock crawling?
