A pair of Mopar under-hood lights with integral gravity switch via Amazon.com, wired directly to the battery. 1999 Jeep Wrangler uses the same light.

Added these oem style rear bed lights to my tradesman and hooked them up to my AUX switches. So bought a complete steering wheel off a 23 3500 so I could get the audio buttons on the rear of the wheel.

Added a rear step. Also been busy scrolling through this thread from the beginning. So many ideas that I need about 20k to execute.I'm up to 2022.

Agreed!
After switching to a goosebox I could sell mine, but haven’t yet. It’s a great hitch and not sure I want to part with it completely yet.

BTW, is that a Truxedo bed soft roll top in your pic? Had one on my 2nd gen and it worked well as an inexpensive bed cover and looking to get another for my 24.
It’s a great hitch. You won’t be disappointed.

This evening, before I went to shoot darts (we finished 5th, dammit!) I installed this Amazon version of the 5th Gen bed step. A couple days prior I'd tried another vendor's take, but their version was almost impossible to deploy without standing on the kick tab, so that one will go back. The one I ended up with deploys smoothly without major effort, and can support my nearly 270# carcass, so I call it a win. It cost less than half the MOPAR part price, and for the few times per year I'll use it, I'm satisfied. Just know that Amazon's great at giving you parts that SUPPOSEDLY fit the 2500/3500 when you search (the vendor's fault, I'm sure), but the one I installed was well-reviewed.
Also, a couple days ago (when I removed an early-version Amp Bed Step and tried the first vendor's step), I installed my Mictuning 60" Triple Light Tailgate bar. I had used that bar on my '15 2500, and again adhered it to the bed lip with magnets. This time, I pulled the grommet for the spare tire (and had to bend one christmas-tree post that protruded through the back of the bed lip) so the bar would sit flush, but it appears level and can be shifted to allow the spare to be dropped without issue. I tossed the grommet in the glove box so I can snap it back in place should dropping the spare be necessary (hopefully, not!!).
Pics: (Yeah; Upstate NY loves to use salt!)

It’s a cheap Gator roll up. I’m very happy with it for how little it cost.

Nice job on the Amazon step. Others have used that one with good results too.
Thanks for your service. Where in NY?

Is this for the dually the missing inner liner in the rear? Do you have a part number?

Added a steering wheel with audio buttons to my 2024 tradesman. The wheel also has heated option but unsure how to get that to work. Can anyone tell me if the gear limit plus or minus buttons illuminate at night? I hooked everything up and it all works but wasn't sure if the gear limit buttons illuminate or not. Also it seems the right side steering wheel buttons light up brighter than the left side, kinda weird. When I use the dimmer toggle the lights stay on on the right side of the steering wheel buttons but adjust on the left.

Purchased 68619670AA Steering Wheel harness and everything works like OEM.

That’s one of the first mods I did on my truck. Yes the gear selector buttons are lite up and both mysides are same light brightness. Ooops I just seen your year truck. Might be different than my ‘22.

My truck is a 2024 tradesman 2500 but the wheel came off a 2023 ram 3500. The weird thing is that all the buttons work. Wondering if it's the clock spring or wiring harness is the issue?
