Pwnery Tinkers : Ram Rock rails/Side-Steps
6Welcome back to Pwnery Tinkers - a few-and-far-between playlist when I can afford the time to record some of my "other interests that may be of interest to you." That's a line I generally say in every video - but now you can actually SEE the other kind of videos I do that aren't games or gun related :)
Today on what was a warm, cloudy day, I started Phase 2 of "Project Attitude" to give my '16 Ram a little more usability and function at the cost of a more clever name. This will be a basic how-to instructional for the do-it-yourselfer that may not have done this before. For you more experienced tinkerers out there, this might just be a refresher, or in the least, a "What you'll come across" if you recently acquired one of these rigs. I actually did this install while at work and from start to clean-up was a little over 2 hours after going through the directions, doing inventory on the included hardware, sorting it all out and laying it out under the rig. Unlike a lot of my previous videos, I left out a lot of the "still-shots" during the process simply because the included directions with these steps were adequate enough for even the DIY'er that's never done one of these before. In the interest of time, and in all honesty, because I forgot to stop what I was doing and snap a few extra pics ... we'll blast ahead to a completed driver's side with basic overview and observation of my experience with the install.
