How did you add a backup cam? Oem or aftermarket?

OEM, the dealer did that one since I didn't have a tool to add the sales code. It was a few hundred, but nothing to hateful.

I was considering doing this. I really like the dual exhaust look but don’t have the cutouts. You remember how much those rear bumpers roughly cost?

If you buy an OEM Hemi exhaust, the tips are adjustable for a regular or cutout bumper. So you can add the exhaust now with the tips lowered and raise them when you find a good deal on a cutout bumper.

I bought a cutout bumper for $200 then sold my non-cutout bumper for $1753405a1c411dd363c72de847c6a38a7cf.jpg44fb0d5462d415c886bf1b8a024b8fdf.jpg

Nice seats and I like the grille too!!

Looks great with that grille. I love the seats too. But I must ask ....why oh why did you put Dodge on the tail gate???? Its not a Dodge its a Ram. They stopped the Dodge name in 2008. But any way let me know what kind of grille that is.................

Dodge went through to 2012, in 2013 when the 4th gens got a facelift is when they dropped the dodge from the trucks, my neighbor has a 2012 and ram head logo in the tailgate says dodge in it

Looks great! Make sure you clear over the VHT or it just looks dull. I tinted my stock tail lights that way and they turned out excellent.

Also, do you have a flowmaster exhaust or just the tips?
