Well here’s the funny part lol, I ordered all three black emblems for my tailgate and I’m not using any of them now. Since I’m going with the side bed decals, I’m leaving the rear as is.

If you are open to selling the ram's head, i'll buy it. But why not swap at least swap that bad boy? That's a nice looking piece. Then you can hang the chrome one on the wall of your man cave LOL.

Which side bed decals specifically?

You have a valid point as I have it in hand so I may as well swap that one out.

parts guy at Avondalemotors said the hooks are still on national backorder. They still have 2 available in chrome but when those are gone, it (chrome and black) will be on backorder. If you have a source, that is awesome.

Just an update on this. I visited four dealerships who all had it in stock here. They all say the parts are “reserved” as vendor parts. They couldn’t even explain to me what it meant. I made a big stink about it at the last one because I was frustrated. They knocked 20% off of my bed divider because of it. So at least I got that. I will install it tomorrow.

A local dealer here is saying there’s a shortage on a lot of ‘19 parts so they’re holding them for repair/warranty stuff.

Cleaned/reorganized the garage. We normally only kept the Charger in there but the truck cost 20k more than that so in she goes. The extra length makes it tight but without the tow hitch she fits! D9D9D767-3607-47E1-9870-84406A83636C.jpeg

“God Damnit”

Two words were never yelled with more anger than 10 minutes ago in my driveway. I set up my rail system for the cargo divider. It’s like 100 degrees, 100% humidity here right now. I go to put on the support bracket and it doesn’t clear the back support of my Tyger cover. Which means it also won’t clear the adjusting front support when I close it. I can’t imagine the Dodge cover operates any differently so how the hell does this work with a cover?

Yes. The cover space isn’t the issue, it’s the support on the rear and front of the soft tonneau cover. See attached photo for the front ones, the rear ones are always down.

Looking at how the hard tops install, I don’t see how I would have a different outcome.

You saw trucks with the cargo storage, a tonneau, and without RAM boxes?

No I just saw no ram box with the bed divider and it was easily low enough to clear the cover I have.

Right but no cover, right? It has a rail that goes up and down attaches to the 2019 rail system and it sticks out over an inch and goes up about an inch. The actual divider is well below the cover.

Hmm.. I think I am confused. I have the rail system in mine but not the divider.
