What did you do TO your RAM today?

Truck looks great! Do you have steps for it? Quite the hop up now. I like it without the front valence but my wife likes the way it looks with it on. I broke mine off a couple of times on my 07. Friends would laugh and give me their old ones.
Thanks, no I don’t have steps. Hate the look of them but if I ever get the money for those retractable steps I’ll probably go with them. I think they cost like 1200$ and I didn’t really want to take the valance off but I’d rip it off it I didn’t. It’s like an extra 6” off the front bumper which helps a lot with approach angle.
 
Do you mind msg me the link for parts?
Did you make video on youtube? I remember watched one recently.
:)
 
I did not. I wanted 20's this time around and the NV was not available in the HD with 20's. The load rating is 3640.
I'll be honest, not sure what factory 20" load rating is. I had method double standards on my 13 2500 with same load rating in 18" and it served me well.

Tires are 35x12.50/20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. So far I like them. I was not prepared for the amount of crap these would throw on the truck. I can live with that, but after spending the weekend at a ski resort with nothing but gravel roads on the premises I now have several rock chips on my flares...just above the xpel line:mad:
Oh man, sorry to hear about the rock chips. Maybe a combo of the offset and tires as I had a similiar issue a couple weeks back. Thinking about mud flaps now. Fortunately no rock chips.
 
Gave it bath today. Going to try and keep it clean on the way to the cabin this evening, probably wishful thinking!

What mud flaps are those? Part number and where did you source them? Truck is awesome.
 
In the process of getting the chrome pieces off the truck in preparation for the black wheels on the way. Not sure if I like this tailgate badge or not just yet.

Hard to tell, but is that the gloss black on black badge?

I've been contemplating the matte or gloss/matte versions for a while, just haven't been able to talk myself into it yet.

Thanks for the kind words! I got them from weathertech. They are local, made in the USA, and have an incredible coffee bar in their showroom where everything is free! Big WT fan here.

Part # varies depending on if you have OEM flares or not. The link above should be for trucks w/o flares.

I have these kind of hard mud flap on a RAM 1500, and 2 or 3 broke in a visit to a friend's hunting ranch, this time I change to rubber flaps.

RCDude is spot on - Method NV 20x9 +18
So if one were to not want them to stick out as much having no flares and trying to keep paint chips at bay what offset should we shoot for? Not trying to copy the set-up here just learning the whole aftermarket wheel thing. BTW, the truck looks about perfect.

When I trade in my 3500 I gave up the tri-fold cover which severed 1500 before, decide to a new one and found Diamondback, mine will arrive late March. Hope it good enough for it's price.
I have a Diamondback on my truck. I like how you can access the front or the back, and it’s stout enough to load on top. I got the 13” tool box with it which is great.
That said I’m looking at trading it out for a topper/camper shell because I can’t camp in the Diamondback.

What did you use? I've broken the hard ones too so I'm looking for different alternatives.
