Love bug season is upon us.

Today after her warm, sudsy bath, I hand rubbed 3 coats of Collinite, then some carnauba.

Same here!! WhytRam is filthy but rains in our future for next 7-10 days on n off.
I just finished. I didn't go nuts on it, but did a pretty good job. It looks 100% better, but still needs work.
I fell in love with it again after checking it out after the wash.

Been working on choosing what color would be a good accent color for my Ram interior and exterior. I want to add this gauge face in Maroon to my cluster then use the same color to accent the interior "trim around the dash and doors" and also put a bit of this color on the exterior "maybe a pin stripe or a stripe over the top of the truck". Just want to put some color into it, the white, black and grey is kinda bland. What do you all think? I welcome all opinions. I included pics of my Ram as it is now.

Installed those cheap amazon lights.

Turned out pretty good. I’m impressed so far. No issues with Canbus and no flickering etc. 5a6ddadec01a1d6be983161438096589.jpg3e1850e16fc80800b8410a36a4e17319.jpg

Pulled the 35's off, went with smaller fender flairs and pulled the 2" front lift out and also put the 2" lowering rear springs back in. It's now a lower slung 4x4 Hemi with Falken all terrain tires and a better ride and mileage. Looks really long with a lower stance on a regular cab 8ft bed. Not many Ram 1500's set up like this anywhere around. These pics still have the standard rear springs and front 2" lift. I'll post new pics this weekend.

And so here she is, factory front and 2" lowering springs in rear. Definitely a different look! Still able to off road (a little!). a 4x4 Hemi badass truck! LOL

Although this truck has gone thru many changes in the hunt to actually love it to the point I would never part with it, I still miss my Wrangler Unlimited Sahara! In fact I am trying to get into the saddle of another Wrangler or even take a different approach and do a Cherokee Trailhawk.

Dented my one month old rear bumper in the HORRIBLY cramped parking lot of the local RAM dealer.

does the rp 20-820 fit better than the rp 10-48? When I do a search I get the 10-48 as the filter I should buy for the 5.7

If you have a truck with electric steering (your 2018 does), it fits WORSE, actually :)

It fits on the engine, but you need to finagle it in the smaller space left by the electric steering setup. its not horrible to do, but does potentially get messy when removing the filter.

The 10-48 is shown for your truck because the smaller filter fits in the tighter space better than the larger 20-820.

King sized bed loaded up. A bit much for the 5-7" box. Place gave me a 5 hr window for delivery times so I said screw It and I'm doing it myself. 76596c12bcc1bf0b7a4b58ec5e1349e0.jpg

That's the old one. Destined for the dumpster tomorrow. I have a big tarp and the mattress will be wrapped for the drive home. Fingers crossed it doesn't rain.
