Done a couple small things

[chas0218]

Been spending a little money and time on the truck. Did the back window, and tinted the taillights. I added the opt7 turn signal bar too. Side steps are on the way and fabbed the 1500 grille lights into the grille. Found the side steps i wanted on ebay for $300 more than they were before they were discontinued. Hope they work out otherwise I'll be cutting and welding on those to make them work.

How bright are the grille lights? Looks good. How much fab did you have to do to make them fit the HD grille?

4800 Lumen combined. See linked video but note that Rough Country markets these as for the 1500 Trucks, they obviously work on the HD trucks, much more cutting is required on the 1500, The HD's opening are taller already so it amounts to much less to cut, clearancing in the back really where the plastics narrow. Video starts at where the installer starts cutting (from the front face of grille) where on the HD you can just trim from the back of grille. If you happen to find yourself at a Ram dealership, stick a finger in the opening on a 1500 vs stick a thumb in the opening of a 2500/3500.

I only have halogen headlights on my truck and these are brighter than my low beams and fogs but not quite as bright as the high beam and low beam together. They throw a very nice flood beam pattern out to the side up high and down low. I'm really impressed how much light they throw. They were definitely worth the money in my opinion I hope they last. Wiring install was really simple with the harness they came with it took maybe 20 minutes to wire it all up. I thought I had another picture from the cab but here is one from about 200' away.

Next I'll be looking at bumpers. I really like the look of the Chassis Unlimited.

You still have to trim the 2500 nostrils slightly, it isn't too bad though. I posted in another thread about the install with a few more pictures.

Sorry I should have linked the thread. I know this is a little late but here it is.

Grille Lights from Rough Country

Has anyone made these fit the 2500 tradesman yet? I really like the look but don't want to order them and then cant get them installed. Thanks! https://www.roughcountry.com/ram-led-grille-kit-70783c.html

I bought the RBP steps and modified them to fit the mega cab. I needed 37" on center between brackets and I believe these were 27". Here is how they turned out, I don't have much for complaints but they look good enough. Straight and match side to side. Not a huge fan of the rivet nuts but they will have to work.
