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

[Pewfessional]

Which fender flares are those? Looks good!

They’re the factory units I cut them to fit the bumper.

Did an oil change today to swap to redline. Ordered my suspension maxx sway bar links to install sometime next week

 

[enuser]

Installed new Black Housing, Smoked Lens Halogen Tail Lights.

DUDE!!!!.......truck just keeps getting better!.......looks awsome!

Lastly, I finally installed the DeeZee tailgate damper: I really like their re-designed mounting point for the gate! Oh, and I put some color on my "RAM" letters in the center stack...just because.

What did they change on the mounting point? I installed mine about 5 years ago.

The bottom mount is now a plate with the stud welded to it, and that plate screws to the tailgate where the rivnut is inserted in the tailgate, rather than the lower stud being installed right to that point. It moves the stud about an inch higher on the side of the gate, but also should alleviate some pressure off the rivnut: on my 1500, the rivnut broke and I had to replace it.

Here's a couple pics of the new lower mount:

I finished installing a pair of dual light pods on my grille guard yesterday. They are designed with both amber and white leds.

Coolness, thanks for the update. I wonder if they sell just the new plate as an upgrade?

Drove it down Shafer Trail to Potash Road in Canyonlands National Park and Moab.

Canyonlands is beautiful. Moab in general is a beautiful place to visit. I’d love to go back.

Definitely! It was my first time there and I will definitely go back.

The stock tail gate guard is pretty fragile. McMaster-Carr hooked me up with some aluminum angle …

Changed my oil after the 1st thousand miles (1,038) then had it waxed. First photo is before the oil change, 2nd is after. See the difference?

(That dent in the bed side is where a deer attacked it last week )
