Unofficially, the first thing I did was removed the Ram 1500 from the doors. First official mod was a BT Oil Catch Can.

The stubby is okay. Honestly, I didn't expect the amount of flex at highway speeds in the one I got. It literally bends over almost flat at 70mph. The reception suffered a little bit but I don't listen to regular radio very often so I'm not all that concerned - it was far more of an aesthetic change than a functional one for me.

As for the lights - no, I'm using the zXe versions. I get them for free because, well....I work for the company (the very facility, in fact) that manufactures them.

Pics please

You mean the little hole above the glove box? That's one thing I didn't like about the express compared to the big horn... where did you get the cover? and how hard was it to replace?

Comparable 2015 2500 diesel 6.7 quad cab 4x4

BOUGHT SOME 1500 ROUNDS OF 40SW AMMO FROM A 31 YEAR OLD KID,

HE JACKED UP HIS 2015 LARAMIE 8 INCHES, SWAPPED WHEELS TO WIDE 12" TIRES ON 20" ALUMINUM RIMS AND HAS AN AUTOMATIC.

SAYS HE GET'S 10-12MPG IN TOWN AND DOESN'T LIKE THE FREEWAY BECAUSE HE HAS TO INCREASE THE TIRE PRESSURE FROM 40S TO 50S!
$5-6K FOR THE JACK JOB AND WHEELS???

I GET USED SUSPENSION 2015 FOR $100 (4 shocks, 4 springs, 2 stock front ladder bars & all nuts, bolts & washers) & Firestone tires $160 (275-70-18) & complete 2015 Turbo Take off (Air intake plastic to manifold & all parts for a complete swap, 6k miles $400).... Wow... Now that's Frugal.

OUCH!!! 15,000 MILES AT 22 CENTS/MILE VS. 61,000 MILES AT 7-9 CENTS PER MILE....

Back on topic, how do you like the ZXEs? I need something better for my truck, can't see **** at night. I've used Silverstars in past vehicles and liked them.[/QUOTE]
I have the ZXE bulbs in both my high and low beams in my quad headlights as well as my fog lights In my opinion they are an excellent upgrade over stock the light beams farther down the road and the road lines and the road signs visibility is improved for me .I bought them to hold me over until I'm ready to do the oem projector swap in a couple of months

I have the quads too, I think I might pick up these bulbs and try them out. I feel like mine are aimed a bit too low for one thing, they seem to point right at the ground not far ahead of me. I added a 2 1/2" leveling kit, but it also includes 1 1/2" rear so it didn't make a huge difference.

I'd love to swap to the 13+ projectors but ******* they are pricey. Thought I had a sweet deal a couple months ago, guy had aftermarket halos he wanted to trade for stock, a guy with 13+ wanted them, original guy wanted my quads. Thought we could work out a 3 way swap but halo guy changed his mind. I could've had the projectors for nothing. So close! I know about the retroshop adaptor so it would've been a small price to pay for those lights.

I'll try to get some night-time pics of the headlights later tonight but, for now, here's the truck with the nerf bars and new antenna installed. Also, the rear LED strip under the tailgate and the BullRing anchors on the bed rails.

Awesome! Thanks buddy !

 

[DILLIGAF]

They fit with the BakFlip, Also You need to trim the plastic on the box rail cover to fit the hooks. So its a permanent install...lol

Exactly as DILLIGAF said - Amazon. These are the 4001-XT model. A little trimming of the bed rail caps is needed, but if you buy their cutting tool and have a drill, it takes minutes to do.
