Installation for Fourth-Gen vs. Fifth-Gen RAM 1500s
For Fifth-Gen RAM 1500 Owners:
Good news! If you’re driving a fifth-gen RAM, the Vicrez Rambar is ready for a straightforward installation. Simply follow the PDF guide linked in the description of Tirado Racing’s video. The templates included will help you drill precise holes on the bed for a clean fit.
For Fourth-Gen RAM 1500 Owners:
Fourth-gen RAMs require a few modifications to achieve a flush and secure fit for the rambar. Tirado Racing demonstrates how to:
- Adjust the Mounting Tabs: Use a Dremel to remove inserts and adjust the tabs to prevent the rambar from extending beyond the edges of the bed.
- Shorten the Brackets: Trim excess material to ensure the rambar sits flush against the bed.
- Modify Hole Placement: Adjust the mounting holes slightly inward for a more secure fit without risking alignment issues near the edge of the bed.
Step-by-Step Installation Process
Tirado Racing’s video takes you through the following steps:
- Bracket Preparation: Remove inserts and cut mounting brackets as needed for fourth-gen models.
- Rambar Assembly: Attach the plastic joiners, tubes, and joiner plates with the supplied hardware. Hand-tighten the bolts for adjustability.
- Bed Preparation: Use a utility knife to cut plastic square inserts on the bed. Mark and drill pilot holes with a center punch.
- Final Installation: Secure the rambar to the bed using bolts, washers, and Loctite for extra durability. Test-fit everything before drilling additional holes.
- Rust Prevention: Paint all cut and grinded areas with Rust-Oleum to prevent rust over time.
Key Tips for a Perfect Installation
- Always start with a pilot hole to ensure accuracy when drilling.
- Test-fit frequently to ensure proper alignment before committing to final drilling.
- Use Loctite on all bolts to prevent loosening over time.
- Paint exposed metal surfaces to prevent rust and maintain the rambar’s sleek finish.
