Well I got my truck back today and they have ordered a new rear seat. With that being the case, I’m going to use what I have for this build and see how I feel after that part is complete.

I love following this. What’s the issue with the leak? Back window leaking? How do they not have a fix?

It’s the back window and according to what I’m being told, the glue isn’t adhering to the glass. They have prepped it a different way to ensure it cures correctly.

That’s interesting, I hope it works out. Do you have a list of what you did to your 4th Gen?

On another note, I’m now only going to do the bed decals and not add the dark letter / Ram head to my tailgate.48de9876f4bd0a3e8d1cef4197668a99.jpg

It’s from Amazon, I’ll see if I can find the link. It works GREAT as now when I get into my black interior truck, I don’t smell burning bacon lol.

Oh lol you were referring to audio lol. I really didn’t go far as I was working on my SQ vehicle at the time. That’s where my $15,000 system was lol.7970536f3c3310e48320896167701f60.jpge7d18f91fda16c5d93f82a07104e77af.jpg

My muffler will be here this Wednesday. If and when they actually come out with a cat back exhaust with 5” tips in black, I’ll then swap to that.4c593da9be678142670e0062b24123ba.jpg

Well I swapped out my chrome tailgate Ram head for an all black one. Then I had 4x4 Ghosted onto my bed side panels. The reason for the “ Ghost “appearance is that I didn’t want that area being bold. I have other plans to make that happen. Now you’ll really have to look to see exactly what I am referring to. 0074632f24edac6b27c3da05f5fa7e1a.jpg571d5e5afa7e1caed935f13ac1ebe578.jpgfa7814137b4e935b435e40abaf7d88a1.jpg

Thank you as the shop who made it were like “ you do know that’s exactly the same color as your truck “. Yes that’s exactly what I wanted. If you don’t know it’s there, you won’t see it. But if you’re pumping gas, or working on the truck, you’ll be like “ oh wow “ and that’s what I was going for. :)

My Borla muffler arrived today in it’s microscopic box compared to the size of my factory one lol. I don’t have time to take it to my muffler shop, so for now it’s going to sit in my car audio room lol. Who knows once I install this if I like the sound, I may not want/ need to do a catback with 5” black tips.
