Unlocked it, took out electrical tape, put electrical tape back in, locked it. Oh, and I looked at it.

Sounds like a good DIY mod man, I need to try that.

As for me I took off my emblems painted em black, wasn't the best job when filling the oval so they just now painted with a clear coat and I'll see how long that holds until I get my tax return back. Then I'm hitting up LiftedLariat for some PTM ones. I will say with my black H-bar grille and the black emblems it does look better now.

What I eventually want to get to plus black headlight housing and the light bar and fogs. Its two pictures because they were flashing and could only get one at a time. For behind the grille I either want to do that light set up or go for a Raptor look with the 4 small ones across the top. Where could I find those lights anyway?

Had girlfriend take it to work so I could take her Ram to get aligned. Alignment guy called and said they couldn't do it today. Now i'm pissed 47 miles were added to my truck for nothing.

It's okay, Darren. It's not an original, low mileage classic car

How did you paint them? I want to paint mine black because the factory clear coat is coming off and looks bad. I just don't know how to go about it. And how much does LiftedLariat charge for those? Don't think that question is worth filling his inbox.

It's listed on here somewhere I think, along with his website, http://www.customtrucksolutions.com/. It's $80 for the whole thing or $50 if you send him yours.


Greentitan, did you end up getting your H-bar from RockAuto?

I would PM him. I'm sure he wouldn't mind. Here's a link to his thread about his PTM emblems.

That too. Brent's a pretty cool guy and I'm sure he wouldn't mind at all about inquiring business.
