What did you do with your 5th Gen this week?

Added a Tonneau cover finally

Went with the Retrax Pro XR. Install was a snap and I’m Pleased with how it turned out.

I was able to find a new in box Mopar 77072428AC intake locally for cheap. Installed it on my 5.7 with Etorque, looks great, install was pretty easy any straight forwards.

Has anyone installed nets/pouches behind the rear seats that fold down? Like these.

I didn't know they Partially fold down until I saw that video.

These might be kinda small nets but I only have a few items + a 4 way I would like to fit back there.

Only the reclining rear bench does that. The solid (non-reclning) rear bench is hard-mounted.

I have read of some modifying the seatback mount on the solid bench to allow it to be folded forward.

I have the reclining rear seats. It's 60/40 with the flip down center console.

I figured that from your question and the Laramie wheels in your Avatar.

I was just throwing the info out there for others that may not know so that they don't try to buy something before they make sure it will work.

Had me going on the rear seat, till I looked at the Trim level and had an AHA moment.

Only things done to Truck was put some fuel in the gas tank and I added the McGard safety clamp/lock for the tailgate.

Just installed the kaodech security bypass. Really simple install.

I brought alpha obd up and disabled fog drop out.

New tires today. Got 38,631 miles out of the OEM Nexens everyone loves to hate. I ran a bolt through the LF. Couldn’t be fixed. They were at 6/32 so they were getting close anyway. My only real complaint about them was that the compound seem too soft. They would pick up anything. Including a rather large bolt. Had more flats with them than any other tires I can recall owning. Also had a little too much side roll for my taste. So, if I was hauling/towing a lot I would’ve swapped them out when I bought the truck. But for the most part, it’s a grocery getter for me so I tolerated them.

Went with stock size Goodyear Wrangler SRAs.

Glad to hear you got that many miles out of them. I've lost two tires in the first 10k miles of ownership, both to metal I picked up on the road. The 2nd one was at 10k (yesterday), and I briefly debated just replacing all four.

Sorry to hear you’ve lost two to road hazards but, that kind of validates my thought about their compound being too soft. I’m counting myself lucky I got as many miles out of them as I did.

In the 90s so gave them a bath.

chopperdog45 · Aug 13, 2022

I just bought a new 2022 2500 Bighorn a few weeks ago. So far I have:
-Installed a Bakflip G2 tonneau cover
-Installed a Banks Pedal Monster
-Put Weathertech floor mats in front and rear
-Ordered N-Fab EpYx steps - they were on sale on Amazon

The wife wanted me to buy a toy hauler camper and I needed a truck to tow it with. Sounds like a win-win to me haha.

Wirerat · Aug 19, 2022

Installed a tri-fold bed cover.

Kenobi · Aug 21, 2022

Best post ever. Money in the bank!

Installed the rod rack in the bed & gave it a quick spray "wax" job, loving the PW!

Fatbob Frank · Aug 26, 2022

Glad you posted a pic!
Rod Rack was a little ambiguous...

Dinky · Aug 26, 2022

500mile road trip today. Good stretch with 80mph speed limits not bad for a 1 ton.
