Can't believe they put the raised white letters out on the tires. First thing I did was switch them.
I love the OWL, always have (had them on both my Jeeps), plus I think they break up too much dark on the wheels. To each their own I guess.

The DeeZee tailgate assist was cheap and works perfectly.
I'm not that happy with mine. It's noisy and the cable guard rubs so much it's breached the Mylar and will probably scratch/rust my gate in a few months.

Got rid of that hideous antenna for a black 13" Antenna X
Not a fan of the stubby or short ones, but I wouldn't mind finding a black OEM replacement.

Love the truck but IMHO the recover hooks destroy the look of the Sports

That's a nice truck. When I first read the title and saw "night edition" i thought it'd be another blacked out truck. That look is played out imo but yours is very nice. I'd recommend removing the vinyl from between the front/rear doors.

Thx! Ya it's got the black compliments, it's not blacked out, and it stays relatively clean. Perfect.

And thank you for the B-Piller advice. I totally overlooked that and just assumed this is what I get. Hopefully no glue residue or small pieces stick in the weatherstripping.

Here's the difference with/without black door pillars. Same truck before and after upgrades and removing chrome accents and black vinyl between doors.

Is it easy to remove the vinyl?

Congrats, nice looking truck, I like the silver. I have a white night, my previous Ram was silver. Might want to consider just modifying your stock antenna. I unscrewed my factory antenna, cut it down to 15" long with a hacksaw, removed the ball from cut end and put back on bottom section, then painted black. Reception is unchanged, looks much better and didn't cost a dime. Of course you cut it to whatever height you want.

sorry about the rotated pic, system did that on its own

I had the dealer do it. There is a you tube tutorial on how to remove it online and it didn't seem very difficult.

I like this. Mine rubs the bottom of the garage door upon entering/exiting the garage. How did you get the ball on the end to stay on?

The ball fits tight from factory, have to pull and twist to remove. On the cut end I had to file it down some to get the ball to go on little, then tapped it down and it feels solid. You could use some gorilla glue for peace of mind. I have done this too all my trucks since 2001, never had the ball fall off.

I thought I saw something about them doing a night edition in the heavy ducty, but i'm not sure.

No you can't take the Ram off without there being holes in the tailgate.

Nice.
What is that truck on the lot, through the windshield pic, with the orange grill?

Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

It's a red grill and it's a Power Wagon, I think those are the only RAMs with the red grills.

To the OP, Awesome looking truck, love the Silver and Black combo!!! Dang, how tall is your garage door, it must to short cuz it makes your truck look HUGE!!!!

Thanks man. One thing I like is I haven't seen another Night on the road with my colour selection.

Garage arch caps at 7', it'll fit. Hehehe.
