Gofishn 2014 Ram 1500 Express Crew Cab 4x4 Cherry Red Build Thread

No "build" thread because my Ram hasn't been built. I'll pass on starting my "cabin filter mod, lighting upgrades, leveling kit, and helper bags" thread because it's been done and shared a thousand times and no one would care.

Glad you got enjoyment out of seeing his third brake light waterproofing...I'll make sure to take pictures the next time I put some silicone around mine.

I enjoy hearing tips from folks' DIY projects as much as the next guy, but misrepresenting this as a build thread just left me disappointed.

Carry on OP. Let's see the jugs of oil next time you change her oil.

Heard about you guys but thought mostly an eastern Iowa club, for some reason.

It's his truck, he's built it up with things he's added on. If you don't have anything constructive to add then say nothing and move on. You don't even have a truck yet and you're talking **** to a guy that does claiming he's misrepresenting... Your complete lack of tact and anything constructive to say is the real letdown.

You must be confusing me for someone else. Had a ram for a couple years now. Anyway, the reactions to my trolling this dude's "build" have been great.

Mopar OEM Fold Flat Foor

In the middle, since I did not have a split rear seat, I had no bolts to remove. But, I noticed that there was a cutout, in the carpet. Removed the cutout and there were my two wholes, with nuts underneath, already welded to the cab, just waiting for my to buy a couple of bolts.Which I got from my local hardware store.

Any idea on the size of the bolts in the middle? I have a floor coming and would like to avoid the guessing game if I can. Thanks!

Had no idea, so I took one out, went to eh hard ware store, tried on various nuts, until I found one that fit.



Looked at what size it was, grabbed a bolt to fit, same length as the bolt I walked in with.



Took longer to type this than it did to find the right bolts.

You will love your floor. Handy Dandy thing.

My mistake.
Yes, it is the exact same size as the seat bolts already in place.

Just removed one the seat bolts and used that one, to find the right bolt.

Mopar OEM Fold Flat Foor



Saw a forum member had a set of fold flat floor pieces, for sale.
Jumped all over them, not knowing if they would work, for me, or not.
Remember, I got an Express. One solid back seat, not a split seat.
However, I did not have any compartment "floor" or "Cover", at all.
If the back seat was up, I could see the storage bins, under the seat.

Drove me Nutty. Buddy's Big Horn had flip up seats, thought the lower end model and I wanted something similar. Bought them , on a Hope.

Turned out, it worked out.
Yeah, Team Gofishn!

Here is the floor, installed. Split floor, for Split seat but works, just fine, with a solid seat.
I really like having the two hard plastic "legs" that can be flipped out to support the floor.
The hold down strap works great too. No flopping around or noise, whatsoever.




To install, simply remove the Bolt, that secures the back seat itself.
See it, from Passenger side, rear door. Here it is




In the middle, since I did not have a split rear seat, I had no bolts to remove. But, I noticed that there was a cutout, in the carpet. Removed the cutout and there were my two wholes, with nuts underneath, already welded to the cab, just waiting for my to buy a couple of bolts.Which I got from my local hardware store.




Now, if you look at the picture above, you see there is an extra hole, above the bolt, where it looks like another bolt could go in. Uh uh. No hole in the floor board for it. MEthinks it is a guide pin. There are guide pins, on each side of the seat I do have.



Here is the drivers side rear door view and the bolt that holds the seat, in place, simply remove, put your floor in place and reattach the bolt.





Here is my Fold Flat Floor Mod, all opened up, ready for my Gear.




Ignore all the junk on my Husky floor mat. I swear, I vacuum the Truck.
Really, I do, Got a vacuum hanging on my garage wall and just used it, yesterday.

Even pulled out the floor mats, wash them down, let them dry and stuck them back.

Turn my head, for one second, and the damn things are dirty again.
