Inexpensive "adds"...

[TheOldFartDrummer]

Attached are pics of my (new-to-me) 2022 Laramie, Flame Red, 5.7 Hemi, RWD, Crew Cab with a few minor additions. When I bought it, there were only 21,000 miles on it. It's in GREAT shape! Small investment in "little things"; nice, subtle changes...

Pic #1: WeatherTech floor mats, front and rear. (I sold the pristine, original, black carpet mats on Facebook Marketplace within four days)

Pic #2: Padded Black Leather Seat Belt Shoulder pads, with red stitching. (Because, why not?!)

Pic #3: Rear Seat padded seat cover. (I haul my dog to the groomer and/or a six-piece drumkit, in cases, in the cab, so the leather must be protected!)

Pic #4: Red Aluminum Tire Valve Stem Caps. (Uhhh, they match the exterior paint [mostly])

Pic #5: Harbor Freight 4-Way Trailer Hitch and Locking Hitch Pin. (I tow a small camper from time to time)

Pic #6: WeatherTech Mudflaps, (It didn't come with any)Pic #7: AIR ASSAULT! ('Nuff said!)

I can't afford to "upgrade" to hi-end brakes, but I can afford a can of International Harvester Red spray Rustoleum. A bit of degreaser and brake cleaner, some painter's masking tape, and a whole lotta patience, and I got me the "artificial" appearance of hi-end brakes. LoL! Hey, now they match the valve stem covers...

I was gonna give a lot of "like" to your mods and then I saw the "Death from kinda high" sticker and thought....nah. lol. The great thing about this forum is it gives you great ideas on how to spend your money. Nice truck!

Lawton is another story.
I call Wichita Falls home.

Nice truck. Especially like the "no chrome" around the windows. You need some vent shades for the back windows.

Hopefully it was a high temperature paint, they do make paint specifically for use on brakes:

Auto Specialty Paints Caliper Paint Product Page

Caliper Paint is a durable coating that allows you to customize your car or truck’s brake calipers, drums, rotors and springs. Resists brake dust and high heat.

Farm Implement International Harvester Red Rustoleum. I used the exact same product on my former ride (1018 Nissan Frontier,4x4, CrewCab. I bought the Nissan brand new. I painted the disc brake set ups just like I did the Ram. When I used it as a trade-in for my Laramie, the Frontier had 59,160 miles on it...and the painted brake calipers looked just as good as when they only had 400 miles on them. This paint is pretty good stuff! (Of course, the key ANY good, long-lasting paint job is to properly "Prep" the surfaces...which I did.)

Actually, I removed the front ones. I run U.S. and the POW/MIA flags during the appropriate holidays/events/celebrations. The vent shades prevent the windows from closing all the way, when I have the flags mounted..
