What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

Got rear ended this week but at least was another Ram that hit me. Young kid wasn’t paying attention when he got to the intersection.

I guess you can say you got "Rammed"

Sorry, couldn't resist. All looks very fixable. Glad no one was hurt.

****. Glad everyone is good and wasn’t serious! Check to see if the box hit the cab.

He should give you his truck as payment.

Got the heater box and dash back in today. What a pain. If I had to do it again I would pull the seats out to deal with the floor ducts. Made it very hard to get the box back in. Heat works now and getting the a/c charged tomorrow and with any luck won't have any more issues.

Next project is the steering wheel and clockspring. Then tailgate handle camera and transmitter. Truck doesn't have a screen so will be using my phone for that.

Recently picked up a sport bumper, I have an SLT truck, I can’t seem to find a conversion post on the site, anyone know of one or can post a link?
I also bought a bumper with cutouts and stock dual exhaust, will to the conversion at some point this spring

Ummm…. Is it just me or the fog lights don’t look like the same as on the bumper? The bumper is the horizontal ones and the new style are vertical which is what those seem to be [emoji2369]

09-12 horizontal fogs
13+ vertical fogs

 

[BJSwizzle]

Good to know, I bought the fog lights for 50 bucks, the other piece was throw in, I’ll find the correct one soon

Dropped off my truck for the following parts to be installed:

MaxTrac 7”/4.5” Lift Kit
Fox Racing 2.0 Shocks F+R
MaxTrac Upper Control Arms
Xtreme Force XF10s - 20x10 -25 offset
Arturo Trail Blades 35x12.5

Should be done later today or tomorrow morning.

Parts sitting in my house taking up WAY too much space that need to be installed ASAP + parts still in transit to me:

- Brand New OEM Front Bumper Painted (been sitting for 7-8 months waiting for nice weather)
- Upper Glove Box Kit
- Tyger Auto - Star Armor Side Steps
- Tyger Auto - Pocket Style Fender Flares
- Factory Crafts Bed Vinyl
- 2019 Red & Black “RAM” Door Badges
- 345 Hemi Front Fender Badges
- New replacement Grille LED Bulbs (white instead of factory amber)

In Transit:
- BAK BakFlip MX4 Tonneau Cover - Matte Black
- OEM Antenna Base

Once I get the truck back from the lift install, I am going to start knocking off parts from the list and installing them on my truck. It’s going to be one hell of a busy weekend. There’s a bunch of other smaller things I got that still need to be installed.

This weekend is detail weekend. There's almost as much dog hair in the truck as there is on the dog. German Shorthair Pointer fur is somehow magically resistant to the vacuum.

Wife's car got attacked by birds, so I let the boys help me, and then they wanted to do the Ram. I let them clean it. They wanted to wash the Charger and I was like you are funny lol. No one touches that except me. I am really enjoying the foam cannon.

a dude at a shop told me the bumper is from a 2012 and will not fit my truck as he says the grille won’t fit, anyone know if he’s correct?

 

[Treburkulosis]

@BJSwizzle You are correct. 09-12 and the 13+ You will need a 12 grill to make it work.

Since I had my dash apart to fix the A/C I decided I wanted to move the trailer brake controller. It was mounted under the dash in front of the gas pedal and would hit my leg so I had to tip toe on the pedal when driving. Plus it was so far down there it was hard to reach. I saw where the factory put the brake controller above the park brake release but on mine there was a little cubby. I cut the cubby apart to fit the bracket for the Prodigy. It had to go at an angle to clear the mount for park brake handle.

Last big project, replaced my bad steering wheel and clockspring.

I feel you on this, for the rugs and cloth areas, grab a pumice stone. Works like a charm!

Thanks, I just unloaded it for what I paid for it

I wanted so damn bad to take the picture at 99999.9 then 100000.0 and i completely forgot to do it ontime Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaacccccccccckkkkkkkkkkk.....
Still, zero squeaks on this truck, on unmloested factory cv-axels, front LCA's, tierods and hubs, changing the oil every 8-9k miles with Penzoil 5w30 and Mopar oil filters, MDS disabled at 40k something, my own street 91 octane tune . did hit a rock on the offroad trail at 60mph on Joshua tree last weekend that got my steeering wheel crooked., drove 200 miles with the steering clocked 1/8 turn to the passenger side to keep the truck straight, traction control light came on on the FWY and everything. From previous experiences in my Jeep it used to do the same when the steering had that much angle to keep the vehicle straight. Took her to the aligment shop and she's straight again, traction control light is working normally after driving couple of miles with a centered streering wheel and she's back at hitting 80mph with one hand. Can't ask for a better truck knocking on wood.

Yes unfortunately that is a 09-12 bumper. You need a 13-18 bumper.

Sounds like you bent a bunch of suspension parts and the alignment shop just adjusted the bent parts to make it aligned again. No way does a wheel go 1/8th to the side on a rock hit and nothing got bent or broke.
