What Did You Do With Your TRX (or Other Ram) Today?

Nice, where is that on the truck?

That’s on the rock sliders right in the middle of the doors so it wont get stepped on getting in and out, part of the reason I did it. It wouldn’t last long if it was getting stepped on. Man it’s tough getting and ordering stuff in Canada now i have a bunch of other things I want to do but nothing is in stock or is months away

Got it a little dirty for the first time.

I just ordered tires for the Rebel. $1600 for 285/R70/17 Duratracs from DiscountTire. Holy crap. I paid just over 2k for the same tires AND AR Baja rims 18 months ago.

Got them put on yesterday and took the truck out for a test drive at highway speeds this morning before heading up north for some turkey and festivities with the family. Smooth as glass at 100mph. Discount Tire does great work.

I removed the bedrug bed mat that also goes up the tailgate from the rebel that I traded in and half assed installed that today. I want to wait to warmer weather so i can get new velcro to stick. Since i have a tonneau cover there is no worry of it flying out on the highway.

Install is very easy. This is my 4th back-flip tonneau

Nothing Major, moved it out of the garage so I could change the oil in the Scat Pack. Then put it back in the Garage

Not yet, waiting for it to come in.

so I got all the parts except the tow hooks on the front and going todo the shocks next but I think it looks good so far. i was going to do the bead locks orang but I kinda like all black rims ?? I will try them orange and if it’s too much re-paint them black.

I think that orange highlights on the black rims would be better than all one colour... I'm putting gold accents on my truck so I'm looking for Gold zinc lug nuts, they're out there just haven't found the right size yet.

Looking very good. Are those rails the ones from the TRX?

Not sure if they are the ones on the TRX. They are rock sliders that come as part of the 75th anniversary power wagon package. i know the bead lock wheels are on the TRX but not sure if the rock rails are. I would imagine they would fit the TRX as they just bolt on to the frame rails.

They look a lot like the ones that you can get on the trx, but are probably a different part number and slightly different mounting points since the trx is based on a 5th gen 1500 and your truck is a still technically a 4th gen body and frame.

i think your right and thanks for the info didn’t know that

Yea, I don’t know why Ram didn’t do a true 5th gen on the Heavy Duty line also. It’s still a hell of a truck….especially the Power Wagon. I have seen one go a lot of places I took my jeep

Got some new badges for the side 1st 75 edition
