What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

It is their season

 

I had no idea that bracket existed... however, here's how I installed mine a while back. I think this looks much cleaner than the bracket. All you need to do is drill a small hole for the bolt to hold the camera and cut a piece of plastic out of the way on the back side. Install looks clean and shows a good angle.

 

Fluid filmed my truck today using the gallon can and my bed liner sprayer. Way faster and easier than using the spray cans, also much cheaper.

Now my truck smells like a sheeps asshole though, so theres that.

 

I'm in the industry so repurposed one from our trainer.

 

I have had the RXTs on stage 2 paired with Bilstein 5160s since February this year. 24" center if hub to fender in the rear on both sides. I have about 4,000 miles of towing the Airstream basecamp with a tongue weight of 430 lbs and generally carry another 200 lbs of gear in the bed between fire wood, 5 gal of water and gas, tools, and supplies. All loaded up I see 1" of squat in the rear, but is always goes right back when unloaded. I considered option 3 but didn't want it to bee too stiff unloaded. If I see any sag after I add a high clearance rear bumper I may go to option 3 and also raise the front another 0.5" to 22.5" to soften the rake.

 

You don't have any pictures of the backside do you? How much clearance is there with the front sensor that is used for radar based cruise following?

 

sure thing, plenty of clearance.

 

I've been thinking of the anytime camera front and rear. Yes, this seems an ideal way to do it! Thanks.

 

Works the same way for the pro-style grille too, easily my favorite mod

 

I got it from yotashop and went with the low mount option.

 

Tweeters in. Kickers coming in a few days. Back to jonesing

 

I’m probably going to order total chaos ones.

 

Did the "tube step delete" mod and installed OEM LED projector fogs on my new truck today. Why someone would pay $500 to make it more difficult to get in and out 9fbtheur truck is beyond me. My wife and I are both short and found they were just something to step over when getting in and out. If they weren't already on the truck from the port I'd never have had them installed. They'll be in the classifieds here as soon as I have enough time on the board. LOL.

 

I will say this. After the lift and driver side. Handle. Mod. I’m pretty happy with my nerf bars. Specially the ole lady lol

 

I had them on my 1500 Ram and found them somewhat useful in not sliding out and tearing up the edge of the driver's seat. If this truck were lifted I'd still feel like the door opening was too small to step on the step then into the truck. I feel. Like I'd need to lower the steps.

 

Dropped the spare tire and the factory skids today and went through 6 cans of Blaster Surface Shield underneath the truck. Then I put my new skid on:


Also realized my hide-a-key is nowhere to be found. Thought I had a pretty good spot, but I think last year's undercoating may have prevented it from sticking like it should have.

 

Added Taco Garage Dash Single Mount, Ram Medium Arm. Quad Lock 1” Ball Adaptor.

 

Had this Ram Phone mount from my motorcycle, but I switched to bigger diameter bars so it didnt fit. Didnt really like it much for the bike anyways as it jiggled too much from all the vibration. So it was just sitting in the unused parts box with all the other unusable stuff.
I thought it might fit pretty good on the parking brake lever so gave it a shot and it does....LOL. Kinda ghetto, but its aimed directly towards me so I can use google maps without fumbling around holding the phone (I obviously dont have navigation and android auto is more hassle than its worth to me). It doesnt impede usage of the parking brake either, but it might make using the driver side front cup holder a bit of a challenge. Guess Ill see how it works out...

 

Just put it on, but fits great so far. Other than the brackets that pissed me off.

 

It really depends on how tall you are I guess. I am 5'8" and I use my side steps always to step up and then sit down into the seat.
