Thanks man! I'm loving that wrap too. I like a little chrome with a Big Horn as I feel like it's part of that package, but the color matched grille just looks so much better overall. I'm really happy with how ridiculously close that 3M Black Metallic comes to Brilliant Black Pearl.

Lol do you swap your license plates back and forth often?

Awesome truck! I like the big horns.

LoL just once. I traded in my 2015 Charger on this RAM so I had to get different plates. The pictures aren't in chronological order so probably seems like I switch plates, lol.

Rzr to answer your question, I like the light bar so far. It was $25 on Amazon, I haven't had any problems with it yet.

Have the black RAM grille and tailgate emblems on the way. Ordered them separately and got them a little cheaper than ordering them together. Looking forward to getting those put on.

When the weather warms up a little more I'll be busting out the fishing line and my 3M Eraser Wheel to debadge the truck. Looking forward to the end result, but not to taking off the obnoxious amount of badging RAM puts on these things.

Debadged the doors, fenders, and tailgate this weekend and got the black grille emblem and tailgate emblem installed. Also cleaned her up and took some pictures over the past couple of days. (The pic at the Camp Dodge Overlook with the M47 Patton tank was before I did the mods this weekend.)

Love the tank pics...puts their sizes into perspective for sure.

Thanks, I'll have to take a picture next to the other tank. They have an M60 Patton at the same public overlook. You can climb around on them and everything. It's a pretty cool little spot.

Thanks. It really changed the look of the front end for me.

I'd be interested to see a Linex'd grille, there's a company here in Iowa called Racom that has a RAM that is entirely coated in Linex. You can see it on their page here:

https://www.racom.net/

The owner brought it to one of our car shows once so we got to see it in person. I thought it looked pretty good!

Looking good! Especially those shots from my neck of the woods in Pittsburgh, PA! Also, thanks for supplying that link on the LED 60" tailgate bar. Looks like I might have to get that bad boy. Great work on the truck so far! Looking forward to seeing more!
