No before pics, but I swapped the license plate lights to LEDs. Spent $23 at Autozone, but I'm glad they're a little brighter than what I would've found on Amazon. Still looking for a link to do the LED swap in the interior if anyone can help me out.

What did I do with my ram this week... well Monday I took off to my dads house in NC from FL... Tuesday I drove back home. Then Wednesday I drove from FL to LA. Today (Friday) I'll be driving back home. Tomorrow I'll be driving to mobile and back. What a week so far. Picture was fill up in LA yesterday drove all the way from Montgomery AL on Tuesday in that tank.

Just went to best buy and bought a pair of 6.5 inch and 6x9 kickers for the doors. Will probably install them next week.

Looks good but I never understood this. Why would anyone want to make it easier to read their license plate? I mean, I'm not trying to hide anything, but what's the point?

As soon as the weather breaks I think it's time for some maintenance. Oil change, clean air filter, tire rotation, front diff, rear diff and transfer case fluid change.

Hey Everyone, I'm new to the forum and looking forward to sharing info and learning more here.

'14 Ram Black Express, 46k mi

This week the stock Bridgestones got replaced by Cooper Discoverer H/T Plus. Love the look of the tire!

Wife got me a Gator tri-fold tonneau cover for Christmas. Installed it yesterday when we had a random 60 degree day here near Philly and it looks great. She HATES my truck, but she keeps buying me stuff for it!

I'm with you. I don't even try to understand it.

I don't know about y'all but I think the stock yellow looks pretty cheap and crappy IMO. I'm not paranoid that someone behind me now has easier visibility to my license plate, so I don't understand the fear there.

What is the part number or led bulb for the plate lights you used?

They're just the Sylvania "Off Road Use Only" 194 lights in the LED section of my local Autozone store. I threw away the receipt and can't find the actual bulbs on their website, but you should be able to find em at your store.

I added a picture of the package so it's easier to see what I'm talking about.

Your lucky... it's been 10° - 20° here for the last couple weeks so I haven't been able to plasti dip my wheels. Finally picked up the Plastidip I need today, because it's been 60°+ the last 2 days and I didn't expect to be able to paint them anytime soon so I didn't have what I needed. Now that I picked up the Plastidip cans it's going to snow tomorrow and go back down to 15° for the next week.... just my luck. I missed my window of opportunity with warm weather lol.

Welcome!! I'm from right outside Philly myself, it looks like your out in the suburbs aswell. What part? I'm from Newtown, lower bucks county.

Can you just put those bulbs in and there is no issues? I thought Resistors were needed to install led license plate bulbs??

Picked up some plastidip today from Pep Boys. They have a killer sale going on cans right now. For the last 2+ weeks it's been between 15° & 20° so I wasn't expecting warm enough weather to paint. Well it's been 60°+ the last 2 days so I picked up the Plastidip I needed today in hopes of doing my wheels. Turns out its going to snow tomorrow morning and be back down in the teens for the next week or more. Wtf... just my luck. I missed my window of nice weather and now I gotta wait to plastidip my wheels. I wish I had picked up the cans sooner because then I could have done them today. It was 70+ out! How does it go from 70+ degrees one day to 15 degrees and snow the next morning? Stupid earth...

Also picked up some other misc. stuff I needed to help with painting my wheels.

How my wheels look right now:

How they will hopefully look when I'm done:

Just waiting on this to be delivered:

Should be here by Saturday. Then I can finally get my center console in and put my jump seat up for sale. Aslong as the weather here doesn't drop back down to 15° [emoji26]

My overhead light also came, need a few more pieces before it can be installed.

Also this got delivered aswell:

Its my custom WheelSkins wheel cover from LeatherSeats.com. Now, I've never stitched or sewn in my life, so this is going to be VERY interesting lol. I'm hoping I don't screw it up and lose $70 some bucks.
