What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

El_Dude · Jun 2, 2021

For sure, agreed. Also, before I purchased the lift I couldn't decide on the 4.5 or 7 inch lift. I'm glad I went with the 4.5 because maybe in the pics it doesn't look that high, but seeing it in person and standing next to it, not to mention climbing in, it looks and feels like it's super tall. Haha. Granted, I've never owned a lifted vehicle before, so that may be part of it, but I think I made the right choice for me, the 7 inch lift I feel would be much more difficult for my wife (she's 5'2") and small kids to get in and out of. I'm very happy with this decision, and love the way it turned out.

I have an appt this morning to get an alignment, then save some more money for more mods... Yay!

Got it back from the body shop. Had them put on a white grille and an ADD front bumper. The ICI bumper wasnt available. Yesterday I added new bilsteins set at 2.8. Will be adding rear 1.5” pucs and shocks this weekend. Will get alignment this weekend as well.

What's that cover you got underneath the truck?

That’s a skid plate. It’s part of the bumper

What did I do? I drove to Lowe’s and saw my twin (yellow truck). Told him this town ain’t big enough for the two of us…. He got the message I think

Just changed the oil and emptied the catch can.

Also found my PS ball joint is starting to pop out

Should've asked if his meant Dork Vader.

Went and got my wife a partner for my Ram last night, 2017 Durango GT Blacktop V6 (sales lady blurred out)

Dropped off some supplies for the "pew pew" range at my parents, was going to go all the way back to the range but it was just wet enough that I didn't want to trench up the path we've made.

Then this morning I was (that) close to having a really bad start to my day. When I backed the truck into my garage I made sure to give myself room on the drivers side so I could clean out some clutter. Well, I didn't notice how close I was to the door until my kids came running out. So as the door swung open my heart skipped a beat or 2. I saw a broken tail light in my future. Luckily, it cleared the truck.

Here's a pic of the Aries bars I posted about. 4" ovals. Not as heavy as the Smittybilts on my '96 Ram, but they'll do.

Did not realize Ram did not put in any pre existing wiring to plug in the fog lights, so I wired in a light bar switch and harness with fuse, and put a button the dash, works well with LEDs!

I also believe I may have the start of the dreaded lifter tick, I just put some of that risoline additive in the crank case, see if that helps, hardly noticeable, but can hear it when I had the hood open

Audiophile, thank you Sir...AF is a great career. Hey, I mounted the front of my Arksen 50” x 64” roof rack on a Thule bar on the front. For the back of the rack I attached a 4” x4” alum angle to my cab uprights and then rested the roof rack on the angle snd secured w 2 U-bolts through the angle

Took my 2017 Ram Rebel wheels over to my friend's house to get balanced. The guy I got them from had removed the TPMS sensors so the beads were broken. I put new sensors in but they didn't mark the tires before breaking them. They look great on the truck and they have a bit more offset than the old wheels. Probably the last major thing to do on the truck.

Swapped out my factory tips that I powder coated two years ago for some carven 5” tips. Looks and sounds much better. Thanks @JoeCo
