Unclip the two connectors shown (slide red tab out with screwdriver maybe 3mm and then you can access the part to push in and it will disconnect). From underneath near the bumper, you'll find an access hole on each side. I'm going to leave it a week or so to see if the weatherstripping gets persuaded, otherwise I'll just pop it out and readjust again.ġ. You really have to slam it but it looks perfect. I also wound up moving the adjustable latch part all the way to the bottom of travel.Īfter all was reinstalled, it's a tad too tight now. The right one was bottomed out so I pried the washer off and what do you know, it fits far better now. Well there were two of them silicone glued to the bottom as shims.Īfter replacing the RamBox in the bed, I was pushing down on the bottom and the left bolt hole with shim still had a little travel to hit the bed. See the shiny silver washer on the bottom left? I tried lowering it a few times but no dice. This box was adjusted all the way up leading to the "looks open" I was dealing with. Not sure who designed this but by removing it, you can now access these two black bolts and there is a fair amount of free play in it. The lock can be adjusted, just not without removing the RamBox. You can obviously see they are not there but you can also obviously see there is plenty of room for them should you be a better welder than I am.Īnd the outside where the lock is. I know some had asked about stake pockets on a RamBox. The square hole is where you disconnected the wiring from below. No idea what the scalloped "patch" is on the left outer wall. These are all passenger side and this is looking toward the rear. Here are shots of the bed without the RamBox installed. The black top of the lid will be against your bed and not the lid paint. You can close the lid (you can open it via the physical key since it doesn't have power) or you can lay it on it's back in the bed and carefully let the lid open. You can then set it in the bed but it will want to tip over if the lid is open. With RamBox lid open and from standing inside the bed, pull up on the whole assembly by grasping the two sides of the lid. All of these 8mm bolts are identical and appear to have red locktite on them.ģ. Remove all bolts inside the RamBox including the two black ones on the latch pin (where you see two welded on nuts - but leave those alone) and two each on the outside hinges that go into the bed. The fiber cover seen at the bottom has the air compressor above it.Ģ. This photo is passenger side with bumper to your left. Driver's side is a double connector as it has the AC wiring for the outlet as well. Unclip the right, larger connector shown (slide red tab out with screwdriver maybe 3mm and then you can access the part to push in and it will disconnect). Looked all over for ways to adjust and decided it had to come out. Kind of looked like it was already open when walking up from the side. My passenger RamBox just didn't close enough to suit me. Why remove or adjust RamBoxes? Maybe the doors don't close or sit right? Maybe you need to get into this area to install modify the bed, wheel well or insert, or you are installing another custom RamBox mod? Doesn't matter. I would never be aggressively driving the truck loaded full of gear, but with all that extra space, I’m sure one could easily max out payload -especially after you through in 4 adults.1. The other down side is that 240LBS takes up 18% of the 1310LBS Payload. My yellow lab makes my ‘19 Longhorn 1500 look like the carpet is made strictly of dog hair. I’m wondering how the cap will hold up? Anyone ever jump a truck with a cap? My family is getting bigger and I need the cap for gear and dog protection on road trips. Probably only a couple feet of air at about 80MPH. Anyway, I liked to jump it through corn fields out at my farm. Ford took two months, but did replace the motor. It blew up in Nebraska, and left me and my wife stranded. I checked with the manufacturer and they say the one currently offered for the ram 1500 will fit, and that it weighs 240LBS. I really like the Smart Cap, because it can be delivered to your door and it seems to be built well. I’m wondering what everyone thinks about a truck cap on the TRX.
