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

[audiophile]

I did not come here this morning expecting that I was going to want to cry, but here I am...

God speed pupper! Wishing you and your family the best right now. Never a fun day.

It's always weird to think that dogs are here for only part of our lives, but to them we're their whole lives! Such a gift.

Thank you sir. And you are so right about them.

Added some black 5” tips. I was planning on painting the stock ones, until I saw all of people with 5” on the forum and how much better it fills the cutout!

Is that Big Lake? If so, it sure has changed since I was there last, probably almost 20 years ago now? Man that makes me feel old just typing that.

That picture was looking towards Crescent lake but yeah we were fishing big lake for the last few days. It really hasn't changed much over the years. Other than the main road being paved all the way to Big Lake now. It has been paved for I'd guess 10 years now or so.

It's been over 3 years since the last time I polished and coated my Ram, so it was due! I used CQuartz last time around on it and it held up great, but tried a few different things this time. I deironized it, hit it with clay, 1 step polish, wiped down with IPA and tried the DP Graphene and it is definitely not what I'm used to when applying a coating, but looks great on the dark blue.

I just finished installing four Bull Ring tie down hooks on my 6.4 bed. Thank goodness I watched a few installation videos before cutting. The rear pockets were easy, as you just have to cut out the part of the plastic top that curves down inside the rear pocket. The front, however, has lines that nicely match up with the side-to-side dimensions of the pockets, but the lines that indicate the fronts and backs of the pockets are way too far apart.

I’m actually glad that my Dremel tool is 750 miles away, as it forced me to do this with just a utility knife. Using the knife I was able to cut the holes without damaging the paint in the stake pockets. I certainly would have dug into the paint had I used my Dremel.

I spent a bit more and bought the flush-fit rings. I don’t anticipate ever installing a bed cover of any type, but apparently the standard rings stick up just enough to interfere with several types of covers.

No doubt that had I saved some $$$ and bought the standard rings I’d be installing a tonneau down the road and cursing that decision.

These rings feel very sturdy.

What did you use? Ironx? Or magma? And you only did one polishing step ? What did you use? I did my wife’s SUV last year and it is a 3 polish and usually 6-8 pad thing and takes ALL day. It’s a massive pain

Edit: that truck looks amazing btw. Great job!

First, thank you for your service. I hope you had a blessed Memorial Day. My dad did 26 years AF, retired as a SMSGT.
Second, how did you mount your roof rack. I want to do that exact thing but have trouble finding a mounting system that I like.

Plastidipped my grill. I haven’t decided yet if I like it or not. I sort of wish it was gloss black instead of satin. I may leave it like this and eventually paint it body color. The plan is to remove or cover all of the chrome on the truck.

And that right there is what just adding a set of nice wheels and lift can do to change the look of a truck. It looks 10x better!
