Which fender flares are those? Looks good!
They’re the factory units I cut them to fit the bumper.

What did they change on the mounting point? I installed mine about 5 years ago.Lastly, I finally installed the DeeZee tailgate damper: I really like their re-designed mounting point for the gate! Oh, and I put some color on my "RAM" letters in the center stack...just because.
The bottom mount is now a plate with the stud welded to it, and that plate screws to the tailgate where the rivnut is inserted in the tailgate, rather than the lower stud being installed right to that point. It moves the stud about an inch higher on the side of the gate, but also should alleviate some pressure off the rivnut: on my 1500, the rivnut broke and I had to replace it.What did they change on the mounting point?

Installed this on my truck today! Agreed on the design.The bottom mount is now a plate with the stud welded to it, and that plate screws to the tailgate where the rivnut is inserted in the tailgate, rather than the lower stud being installed right to that point.

Here's a couple pics of the new lower mount:

Coolness, thanks for the update. I wonder if they sell just the new plate as an upgrade?The bottom mount is now a plate with the stud welded to it, and that plate screws to the tailgate where the rivnut is inserted in the tailgate, rather than the lower stud being installed right to that point.

Canyonlands is beautiful. Moab in general is a beautiful place to visit. I’d love to go back.Drove it down Shafer Trail to Potash Road in Canyonlands National Park and Moab.

Nice looking truck!Changed my oil after the 1st thousand miles (1,038) then had it waxed. First photo is before the oil change, 2nd is after. See the difference?
