Yup, it has been raining off and on all week, and I work in an area with a dusty median and heavy big truck traffic, so my truck gets nasty, but, can't tell.

Retrieved her from the airport lot Sunday, I always am thankful to see a the Ram logo after using rentals for a week or two. Anyways, updated the Uconnect software to MY15_RA3_16_16_13 Tuesday evening and all went smooth. I haven't driven it yet to see any differences. Maybe this weekend!

Put on some Husky mud flaps! I haven't had a chance to wash the truck yet... so I just washed the areas where the flaps were going on.

Looks good! Did you put the 3M "tape" on under them? It definitely helps keep the paint from scuffing as they do flex at highway speeds. Also, I used Teflon on the screw threads, I had one screw back out a 1/4 inch after only 300 miles. I just hit 10,000 miles and all is good. Just a FYI to watch for.

Edit: I didn't put the 3rd screws in, I didn't want to drill holes!

Yes, put the included tape underneath. I'll keep an eye on the screws, thanks!

I didn't put in the 3rd screws, so we'll see how they do but they're rock solid for now.

I just put the front Weathertech no drill flaps on my '16 yesterday. The store didn't have the rears in stock so I skipped them for now. It definitely looks like the Husky's offer a bit more coverage. At least the front. It looks like they stick out a bit more and hang a bit lower. Kinda wish I got them now. This is only the front and yes the tires are turned a bit, but even when they're straight, the tire sticks out further than the flap.

Installed a Pioneer appradio. Not sure I like how the little filler pieces on the sides fit

Picked mine up from the body shop after having the hail damage fixed. Really pleased with how good it went.

Got her done yesterday. Looks f*cking insane. Love it. SO worth the money.
PLUS,...with CQuartz Finest, you have to sign a contract with CarPros and be authorized to use this stuff. Very easy to mess it up if it isn't applied correctly.
These photos are from this morning. I drove home in the rain for an hour last night and took it to the bank this morning on wet roads. Still looks killer!
(paint correction and 2 coats of CQuartz Finest applied through the exterior of the truck.)

Pulled my bils back off to correct the infamous washer location issue. From the time I jacked it up to the time I lowered it back down was an hour and 40 minutes (including a beer break). I was pleased with that!

Haha, true that! (But I don't want any more practice though, I'm fine where I'm at! Haha). I got out to the garage about 9 am this morning and was just in "the zone" I guess. Since the bils went on just a few weeks ago I knew exactly what tools were needed, and it cruised right along. Got done and looked down at my phone, it was 10:41! I just thought "well hell, what am I gonna do with the rest of my day now?" Maybe I'll give it a good bath... [emoji106]
