Welcome, Very nice truck.
Ceramic Coating

I unfortunately paid for the ceramic coating through the dealer. Big mistake. Took them three times before they did it right. Three weeks later after a stretch of rain, noticed my trim appeared faded. Later discovered they attempted to cover up areas they burned while applying the ceramic coating. Obviously didn’t tape or mask it off well enough and now the trim has patches of white in random areas. Wont come off, concerned it’s permanent. Looking into getting reimbursed or all the trim replaced.A buddy of mine has a detailing business and offers ceramic coatings so I thought I might as well give that a go while my truck is new. My last truck (RAM Rebel 1/2 ton) got some off-roading pin striping during the first week so while I kept it clean I didn't really stress out much over the paint...
This AT4 is almost too good looking for my tastes to be honest - but I bought it to use it as a truck after all so at some point she'll pick up a few war wounds...
...but for the moment I'm gonna enjoy having a good looking new truck!
First time I've gone with the ceramic treatment so I really had no expectations but for sure it turned out really nice...View attachment 22995

You can ask them to replace trim however given their level of competency, you may be risking other damage; think about it. I realize the trim looks bad but it may be possible to rectify that using a trim restoring fluid or something, I won't mention brand names here since there are so many out there.

Is that a before and after? Looks great either way! Only thing holding me back is my trucks, being work trucks, get dirty so fast. A lot of miles, multiple job sites, different terrains. Does the ceramic allow for easier/better rinses? I can spray them down as often as possible, but I don't have the time to wash them every other day.
Yeah before and after and I totally understand we have a lake house 3 hours from our house wife and I go couple times a month and the bugs/rocks are much easier to wash off after I also had clear paint protection done on the front end and it’s made a world of difference ! I also use the MAXL ONE rinse and it’s amazing , you should try it I was skeptical but love the stuff! Hard to see but the top of my cab has the paint protection too it’s great.

Yours looks so good with the bronze wheels and longer bed just looks right! Is it leveled or lifted ?

I'll try that stuff out for sure! Thanks!
Thanks man. I took a chance and I love them! It's not leveled or lifted... Yet! Taking a stay-cation next week to install everything! The tires rub a little, so I'm glad I got the level kit.
Oh nice yes that’s the one I’m looking at too, Cognito
Cognito 3”…that’s gonna look great, if you can do you mind sending some pics after it’s on?

For sure. The kit is actually the Kryptonite 2" with Bilsteins. Also doing their ultimate steering kit, then airbags/rear blocks as well for 2" all around. Rake is right!
I ordered the Bilstein 5100 just to replace the stocks until I decide to level it, I also ordered the Recon amber smoked mirror with scanning turn signals as well so we’ll see how it looks with the DRLs
