    To me the 6'6" box IS the short box. 8' is long, and that teeny bicycle basket behind the crew cabs doesn't come on a 2-door, therefore it doesn't exist! ?

    Bit late but might as well bump this thread rather than start a new one. Has anyone looked into the possibility of modifying a Regular Cab long-box into a RCSB? Could it be as simple as removing the bed, cutting out a length of frame, and putting on a 6'6" box?

    Funny, I went in looking for a red one, until I saw the blue! My neighbour actually bought a 14 GMC version of mine around the same time. And I've seen two others in my area. Only one Crew cab, and one 2013 crew.

    Here's mine. This blue seems to be a popular colour for the shorty's.

    Love the RCSB (Short or standard ;) ) the most of any trucks. I love seeing sweet ones like softtails on here.

    I masked mine too. I did a test and had a hard time getting all the overspray off. I was using charcoal grey so it stood out more. Only pain with masking is that the tape tends to pull up the edges. Found this out the hard way on my grille this weekend.

    Got any more disassembly pics?

    I agree that it is a large gap front-to-back, and it takes getting used to. I think the idea is that in the event of an emergency, you have a lot more stopping power on the brake where it is- by bringing your leg back, you're guaranteed to have the range of motion to push that far down. Does this make sense when you think about needing to bring your leg back? I don't know. I'm pretty used to it by now. My bigger complaint is the distance from the non-adjustable pedals to the non-telescoping steering wheel. When I get close enough to the wheel, I'm too close to the brake. Not by much, but a little adjustment in one of those would go a long way for me.

    How does it work for the passenger side? Is there a wire that runs over?

    So I took mine in for the frame touch up. The frame rails are totally recoated, except on corner of a bracket that has rust on it... So I'm assuming they just sprayed over everything Oh well, I'll oil spray it before winter like I was going to anyway.

    20% tint on side windows and rear, and back lowered 2".

    Alright, so I finally got around to dropping the back of my truck. Used the Belltech shackles, my cousin did it for me at his shop. Before: After: Before: After: As it sits now, the left side is 1.5" higher than the front, and the right is 2" higher (started out as a 4" difference!). In the future I may decide to take the blocks out so it's nearly level, but for now it's a big improvement. I'll drive it for a while and see. As is I haven't noticed any adverse effects on ride quality.

    I like the wheels! Doesn't look that level though?

    Thanks!

    Not all the codes in my glove box are on that list?

    I sent an email to my sales lady just mentioning that conversation and asking what the 20 000 mark specifically was. After a week or so I got a reply from the service manager saying that one year/20 000 is when GM will allow them to reapply the undercoating. He then said he spoke to his GM rep and since I am just over (well 24000km) and within one year they will do it for me. He says they'll need it for two days so it sounds like the more in-depth fix. The rust is not that bad on mine, mostly around edges/welds, but the big flakes is why I brought it up to them. I think I will take it in since it's being offered. I can't think of any reason why not to

    That looks great! How much was the new grille if you don't mind me asking?
  18. jonny24
    I get that the Ram was new, my point was that mine never looked that good even when it was new. I didn't realize how good it could/should have been. Anyone know what this "20000 km mark" is? I couldn't find anything about it in my warranty book.
  19. jonny24
    So I brought it up with the dealer, they said it was normal and to check out any other truck on the lot and they'll have the same thing. They'll fix it, talk to the business office to see how much it will cost cus I'm over 20000 km.

    I've noticed rust around some edges in different spots on my frame, noticeably in the rear wheel wells. I've kind of ignored it, it looks like it's just surface rust. But my cousin was showing me his new '15 Ram, and it looks immaculate underneath. Mine never looked that good even when it was new. And now that this thread has popped up again I'm wondering if I should take it in and have it taken care of? Edit: It was bugging me after reading this, went out to take a picture and was quite easily able to take a big flake of wax off. Here's a pic of the flake and some of the rust in the wheel well. I have to go in this week for them to repair one of my coat hook that won't stay down, maybe I'll mention it to the service guy then

    Hopefully mine goes the same way. Finally got around to it, the shackles are ordered and she goes in next Monday.
  22. jonny24
    Yes actually, it's been on my list but I'm pretty cautious of doing anything to the suspension. I'm thinking about drop shackles on the back as it seems fairly noninvasive, but then I keep reading about vibrations and driveline angles.
  23. jonny24
    None taken! I've always been a two door, short box kind of guy. It's the 6'-6" bed, what they call "standard".

    Here is is, I did end up doing the bowties and I'm glad I did. The blue really brings out the bluish in the grey but overall I think it looks sweet. My brother calls them douchebag rims but drives an 03 Corolla with the spoiler and two corner trims torn off, soo...
  25. jonny24
    I really like the look of that. Where'd you get it?
