Put a new set of wheels underneath it. 2014 RAM 3500 DRW Laramie. Pictures later as I have to install the Torklift tie downs and Torklift SuperHitch.

Got my first 2 mods out of the way on the new to us TC. First I added a rear view camera so I can keep an eye on the tailgaters. I already have cameras on the TT and my enclosed trailer so I just had to mound and run the wires. I chose to go with an adhesive wiring cover

instead of attempting to fish it through the interior, the DW was glad to hear that lol. I still need to add 2 small pieces on both ends to neaten it up.

When we were at the dealer where we got our new to us TC the DW noticed these

On the new Lance trailers. She liked them so I was tasked to install them on the rear. First I removed the old rear gutter remains

And added the new gutter ends

Other than a slight modification to the right side gutter

Both fit perfectly

Everything I did today was for carrying the truck camper so I guess it counts. 1. installed my Torklift tie downs; 2. installed my Torklift StableLoads; installed my Torklift SuperHitch; 4. installed my Centramatic wheel balancers

All on my new 2014 RAM 3500 Laramie 4x4 DRW :

Nice truck JumboJet.

Wish I could install gear as quick as you've done. I'm kind of the one thing today, something else tomorrow kind of pace person.

Yesterday, I gave it a good cleaning inside and out, started packing for next week's trip to the Keys, rewirded and re-decked my trailer, and will now spend the rest of the weekend finishing up a kayak rack for my trailer. Good Friday can't come soon enough!

I got lucky this week, checking craigslist and got;

Torklift SuperHitch
Torklift 36" Extension
Torklift front frame tiedowns
Torklift rear SuperHitch tiedowns
Hellwig Big Wig sway bar

For my truck all for $600. They look pretty near brand new! Spent all day installing them as I didn't have the bolt fishing thing to thread the bolts into the frame to the frame holes. But it's done. I can now tow safely.
