Question do you get a lot of water coming out your exhaust in the am my resonator showing signs of rust had truck for a month 2500 miles

Sent from my SM-T830 using Tapatalk

Yeah I get some condensation. My resonator wasn't bad because I cut it off around 5000 miles. But notice it more around the outlet for on the stock muffler.

There’s a blacktop badge kit that comes with gloss black ram heads and flat black 2500, Hemi, and 4x4 badges. I think this is the way to go so you don’t have to keep redoing plastidip or rustoleum or whatever. It’s came factory on my truck and I love it, wouldn’t have it any other way. Your truck looks awesome btw!

I've been thinking about those but wanted to try something different for awhile.

Well Facebook market place strikes again. Picked up some 18x9 xd misfits for a absolute steal.

Lucky you, my local marketplace blows

Typically mine does too. I live in a small area and not a lot of people sell anything worth while. The guy I bought them from said he had them for a year, apparently ordered 20's but was sent 18's (which is what my 35's are) and didn't really like how they looked. Once I get some good whether I want to put 2 on to see if I'm going to like them. But for the price I couldn't pass them up. Plus my the wheels I have with the 35's I'm not exactly sure on how old they are. I sold a set of 35's and vision warrior wheels and got those as partial payment. I've had them going on 5 year's.

Got the 35's mounted on the new wheels and getting them cleaned up. I ordered some brass monkey plastidip just to try something different. Of course it's on backorder. No idea when it'll get here. Hopefully before I get these on the truck. Getting impatient. Just making sure we don't get any more snow

Plastidip came in today. So did a couple coats of black then about 3 coats of the brass monkey. Decided to leave the outer lip portion black

How did you wire in the rear fog lights, looks good overall, long journey to get it to where you want it...

Spliced into the trailer wiring. It was a bit of a pain getting into the harness and splicing into the correct wires but made the most sense to me

What year is your truck?

Do you have the 7 pin connector?

Are they just not turning on in reverse?

I'd take a test light and test from the connector and see if it lights up while in reverse. Check brakes and turns. If nothing works check any associated fuses.

Was going to wait a little while longer to mount the wheels but I'm impatient.

Decided to try something out to tie the wheels in with the rest of the truck (ignore how dirty my truck is)

And my truck just BARELY fits in my garage
