Hopefully all by the end of summer:

1. Ranch Hand Front Bumper & Guard
2. Ceramic Window Tint: 20% on front, 20% brow, 5% on back & rear window, 5% sunroof
3. Decked Bed Storage: current toolbox sits up so high and far in- that even at 6’2” I can’t reach my tools and have to climb in the bed of the truck to get.
4. Possibly a Lock’r Down Console Vault- still trying to decide if I want to go this route.

Wish I could have locking console safe but will not work in mine. Great ideas for others
 
I’ve been eyeballin that console safe too, just not a fan of how much space it occupies. Plus, I wish they had a biometric option!

For me:

Onboard air / train horns - still deciding on a compressor & tank combo.

Baha Designs ONX 6 or rigid midnight edition 20” for between the tow hooks

Carli sway bar

Maybe a titan 52g fuel tank

I've been waiting on a backordered 3rd brake light for over a month. Direct replacement running lamps with integrated brake lights, cargo illumination and two Aux switched BD amber rear-facing work lights. I opted out of the high point antenna but plan to run the cargo camera through the center of the assembly. If I ever get this damn thing...

Bugs me that the bed and cargo lights time out and can't be kept on longer - at least I haven't figured out how.

Evil Manufacturing

After extensive research, there are two companies that put out direct replacement products, however neither come with a cutout for trailer cams. Each require addons after the fact or modification of the current OEM camera (what I plan to do).

The second company (CJC Offroad retailer) is GJ Motorsports.

I like the GJ Motorsport application, however these things are just so over priced and, without seeing comprehensive reviews of the product, I really gambled here.
 
The 3rd brake light camera continued...
This could be a cool option with the GJ Motorsport light.
 
Just ordered:
Method Ram 315
Tazer/KaodTech

Next week or following:
35” Tires
Ceramic Tint

Little further out:
Diamondback cover
Yakima Overhaul (mounted
Thuren Front/Rear Track Bars

Still in debate:
Dual alternator or high capacity alternator
OBA - ARB hard mounted dual compressor, ARB single compressor in a box or Viair
Air Lift 5000
 
Lambo and SBookless where are/did you get your Decked? I’m trying to find a reasonable price on one but it seems they keep the price point at MSRP with no discounts. I’ve gotten some tips and followed up but no luck yet.

you got any links to the train horn mod or fuel tank mod? Unless the tank is a drop into the bed...

I had my eye on one and after purchasing my new Ram, a salesman happened to come by my office for a demo and he gave me a 25% off VIP card. I paid right at $1k. In my opinion it is totally worth the MSRP.
 
I have a Tradesman 1500 with chrome grille and bumpers. My next mods are going to be color matched (black) bumpers and adding oem fender flares.

now I have to decide to paint the chrome or find ones that are easier to paint. I would like to upgrade the headlights at some point.

Dragon - no, not yet. I want a high output compressor, maybe the ARB, a tank large enough to air up tires and run some occasional air tools. The horns will come down to installation location availability on the frame rails. I'm on the fence about locating the compressor, as I dont want to hear it, but want it protected from the elements. Living in Colorado, we have Mag-Chloride and snow to contend with.

I’m just going to order my from Decked- free freight shipping. I can’t find a better deal either.
 
tool box for bed of truck, currently looking at the UWS 48" under tonneau model in matte black.
led strips under the bed rails
additional backup lights, drawing inspiration from a post on here. Might have been 1FastHemi? corner lights and center light
black grille insert from a big horn. will keep the chrome RAM and accents on each side.
Not much else, this is just my tow pig, so everything is about doing that job.
 
Beech Lane Tailgate Ladder. I'm just a tad too old to hop in the bed anymore. I had a built-in ladder in my old F-250. That was nice, but it came out the back. The Beech Lane flips out to the side, which is nicer. It's pretty cheap, but the reviews on Amazon seem good. I just hope I don't hit any hidden wires in the high tech tailgate!
