What did you do TO your RAM today?

[scrambler1000]

May i ask which bar and mounts you chose? I want to do the same but the RC is huge $$$

I posted all the info several times + a video I found of the installation. Go back a few pages on this chat. My light bar was pricey but at the time when I bought it (2014) it was the best option. There are cheaper ones now that are just as good. Start a new thread and maybe someone can guide you.
I used Baja design brackets. They offer a complete kit but I had a 20” rigid industries light bar (E2 - 12231)from my previous truck.
The two bracket part numbers that you’ll need are 44-9186 & 449187, those will be $54.95 each. They are not available on there website so you will need to call in to purchase the brackets, give the sales person those part numbers

Wish they had something for the front so I can check the engine and trans dipsticks. I can just barely shut the hood! lol

Make sure you order the DRW compatible side step model. The one for SRW trucks doesn’t work on DRW.

The SRW works... just need to mod the bracket a bit.

Finally got time at home to let the detail guy have the truck to remove the construction adhesive off the drivers side that got picked up off the road last month while driving to San Diego. He did a 4 stage cut and polish/buff as well as detail the inside.
Today I got to use the winch to move a 7K lb air compressor from the front of a box truck to the back so the forklift could pick it up.

Got some pics from AEV. Front and Rear bumpers are on and they are finishing up the suspension.

First wash and wax. Can't even say a good wax as this is my first time waxing a vehicle, but man really makes that green pop.


Also replaced the silver bolt in the front wheel liner. Thanks @Crusty old shellback for providing info on the exact bolt needed.

Installed some cheap nerf bars from Amazon, paid about $225. Hold me over for awhile until I decide if I want AMPs or not.

What brand are those?

These are the ones I picked up. I was worried they’d look to anemic compared to the truck, but the 4.25 inch width is perfect. I actually really like how they turned out. Hardware seems to be good quality and it’s all black.

I did drop one of the backplates inside the rocker panel, took me about 30 minutes to fish it out. Next time, I might tie a string to it

TAC 4.25" PNC Oval Bend Side Steps

I originally purchased some Nfab Epyx steps from Amazon Warehouse, but they arrived with a lot of damage to the coating.

They look good. I recently purchased some Westin Pro Traxx 4" bars. They have worked really well for me in the past.

Step ladder!

Passive entry (completed only one side for now) and 15% tint on the front windows. Looks like some mudflaps/splashguards need to be my next mod!

Will need to research. Passive entry is SOOO nice. Especially with the little one in my hands.

Adding Passive Entry: How-to

If you've seen the original thread on adding passive entry, HERE, you are likely well aware of the issues with getting it to work on the newer trucks that didn’t come with it from the factory. This thread will walk you through getting it to work on the 5th gen DT’s (and the HD trucks) just as it...

Wow. That’s definitely unique.

Step ladder!

At home, that’s what I use. I’d rather not carry a step ladder around just to check dipsticks on trips, though.

 

[JP426]

I've only done some minor additions to my 22 2500. I had the bed coated with Rhino hardline, installed a Truxedo Pro X15 bed cover, installed a glass screen protector, installed the Mopar bed step, Mopar rubber floor liners and the Mopar green plastic diesel dust cap on the fuel filler neck.

Front hitch receiver with a hitch step?

Front hitch receiver with a hitch step?

That’s a good idea. Curt makes a front hitch that just protrudes under the license plate bracket. Will keep that in mind.

Installed the Banks Pedal Monster with iDash gauges. I went with two gauges at first thinking I’d want to see a lot of parameters but thinking might just drop down to one and use the page function on the gauge since the factory dash also allows additional gauges. Bought this before I knew all that the gauge cluster allowed. Haven’t quite figured out what all the iDash can monitor. It’s a lot but noticed the trans temp wasn’t working so need to check for new firmware or maybe downgrade to one where it was working as I’ve read happens.

Routed wires up thru the left side of the dash for as hidden an install as possible. Stuffed the pedal monster module behind the lower left side of the dash.

The pedal monster definitely increases the throttle response. I’ll probably leave it on max city as even low sport feels a little too much for my normal driving. Will see.
