    My darkened taillights are once again bright red

    I previously posted about how I 'muted' my taillights with VHT Niteshade. Well, now I moved to Texas, and in Texas you have to get a yearly inspection and any kind of taillight tint will fail your inspection. (I'd like to say thank you to the quick thinking technician who alerted me to that...

    Last Pics Before I Get My Texas Plates

    I managed to make it across the country from the North Dakota/Minnesota border to Texas last week and my RAM was the trusty steed it always is. Got my Texas insurance, and my inspection and registration will be next, so this morning I went out for some Sunday Truck Therapy, got it all cleaned up...

    Good Detailer / Waterless Wash

    I saw "favorite detailer" listed in the title of one of the pinned posts but all the responses seemed to be about waxes as versus "detailers" so I started this thread instead. Just wanted to mention this stuff I found at the AutoZone 7 blocks from my house. I was looking for something to help...

    Black Chrome or "Smoked" Chrome Accessories and Parts

    This might seem like an odd question, but has anybody ever seen "black chrome" or "smoked chrome" accessories and parts for RAM trucks? When I was a teenager, I met a guy that had a custom finish on his chopper that he described as "smoked chrome," and that's exactly what it looked like — a...

    The Magic of Dusk on a Paint Job

    As somebody who once fancied myself a hobbyist photographer, I'm ashamed to say it took me until this week to fully understand the magic dusk does to a paint job, even if you're just shooting it in your driveway after you got done mowing the lawn. :p

    Truck resale prices are crazy

    I just saw a guy who had a truck very similar to mine, same model, 'bout 7 yrs old with custom wheels... sold it for $32k. I'm just sayin'... I love my truck but if you want it and you're willing to pay 32-thousand dollars for it, we can talk.

    Got a cartoon drawing of my truck done

    I found this place on Facebook and ordered a cartoon drawing of my truck, plus 8 bucks for the .psd file so I could do my own messing around. Pretty happy with what I got: This was the guide photo: and this is what I got:

    2015 RAM 1500 Crew Cab exterior evolution

    I got a social media reminder yesterday that it was the three year anniversary of buying my RAM, which I've nicknamed 44 (XLIV). I looked through a folder of photographs and realized I have a pretty good assortment of photos that would work as a step-by-step appearance makeover. 1. Here it is...

    Gator EFX Tonneau Cover

    Just got the Gator EFX tonneau cover my wife got me for my birthday and it's pretty nice compared to the $200 cheapie I had before. Pros: Pretty easy install, panels come assembled. Sits flatter on the box than my soft cover did. The clips to clamp the rails to the bed are black (not silver)...

    Routing Drain Tubes for Gator EFX hard folding tonneau cover

    My Tonneausport cover blew up like a balloon in the dryer at the car wash this summer so I'm gonna be installing a Gator EFX hard folding tonneau cover soon. Are the drain holes for the drain tubing these holes at the front of the box?

    Anybody gone with a rollpan bumper on your 4th gen recently?

    About 3 months ago I became aware of two spots of rust on the rear bumper of my Express (the only rust on my truck, creeping out from under the plastic guard on top) and I've been thinking about what to do about it... I've loved rollpan bumpers for a long time, and I searched the forum... found...

    Found My Factory Window Sticker Here

    I've seen a couple different ways to get your factory window sticker mentioned but some of them are broken or outdated links. I just found mine here. If that link doesn't work, sign up for a free username and password and try again. Nice to be reminded that the first owner spent nearly double...

    Cold Air Intake for Pentastar V6

    I've read through a number of cold air intake threads but hoping to hear your opinions specifically for the V6. If you have an aftermarket intake, which one are you using? I'm not seeing a lot of choices for the V6, and some negative reviews about the cheaper ones spooked me a bit. I want one...

    Back to Black, yes it's a fact, been so long since my plastic was black

    When I cleaned the garage,I found my bottle of this: And I LOVE this stuff. It's so nice to have dark gray plastic looking BLACK again. Highly recommended. If you get it on the paint, clean it off promptly.

    My truck made a miracle happen

    9 years ago I started a business which quickly took over my garage and it never looked back. I have not parked in the garage since. Then about 2 years ago my business partner and I went in two different directions and I started thinking about getting the garage cleaned out... Then when I got...

    Backup Camera Replacement

    I was looking through my hard drive today and realized I took these pics last summer when I replaced the backup camera on my truck. I thought I'd share them for anybody who wants to take on the job in the future. The view from the stock camera after five years of existence Before by...

    Tailgate *almost* totally debadged with muted tails and Ram's head

    I just got around to putting these two shots together... before and after on my tailgate. 4x4 emblem and dealer decal removed. Tail lights, 3rd Eye and Ram's head badge 'smoked' with VHT Niteshade to give them a subtle, not totally blacked-out look. Note how much it takes the edge off the white...

    It's Always a Good Feeling

    It's always a good feeling when the head honcho comes into your office and asks "Hey, what did you pay for those wheels on your truck?" and goes on effusively about how good they look. It's nice to know somebody else loves them as much as I do... even if he does drive an F150. Morning in the...

    Looking to buy and install a light bar

    I need recommendations. I'm looking to buy and install an approx. 40-inch curved light bar in the bumper grill area of my 2015 Ram 1500 Express. I like the look of a single row, but I'd possibly do a double. Anybody have model suggestions? What is the process of removing the bumper grill like...

    Debadged 2015 Ram 1500 Express

    Tonight I finally got around to debadging my truck. I'm keeping the Ram's head logos on the grill and gate, but everything else went bye bye... First it was the dealer's decal, that went away a few weeks ago. Tonight, the "Ram 1500" logos came off the doors. I used a 25-dollar heat gun to heat...
