What did you do TO your RAM today?

Added Lasfit low beams, high beam, dome and map led lights. Also added a set of ebay led fog lights. Was a pain to install (no instructions). Have cargo and back up led lights on order through Lasfit as well. Also ordered the tailgate strut dampener.

Purchased our 2024 3500 Tradesman 4x4 Crew Cab HO Cummins long bed in the Fall of 2024 and immediately traded in the Firestone highway tread tires to the same size Toyo C/T's with the 3PMSF snow rating, put a dog seat cover on the back seat, installed a plastic Mopar cap over the diesel fill, installed the Mopar engine block heater wiring, changed the wiper blades to snow blades, pumped out the windshield washer fluid refilling it with -34F De-icer fluid, threw in tire chains, vehicle recovery strap, and a snow scraper attached to a long reach brush under the rear seat. Need to purchase a brush/deer guard and a topper next.

I did my yearly fuel filter change and my 6 month oil change. I had a major brain fart and forgot to put the plug back in, I must of been too excited about the getting the filter spun on the first try and the hour I let the oil drain. I only poured I gallon in before I realized my goof up.

Glad I had a buddy over that was able to take me to get more oil, not glad he was there because he's going to bust my chops and rat me out.

@Dinky503 did you have to trim anything to get the lamp to fit in the housing? Looking at the reviews and planning to order the whole setup for the front end of my truck. Owners of other brands mention the lamp not fitting but you didn’t say you had to so I’m assuming it’s good to go?

Installed the lamps for dims and brights earlier in the week. Amazing difference and yeah they definitely needed lowered but all the way down was to far down. I had a douche in a Prius all worked up about how bright my headlights were following me down the highway tailgating me with his high beams on not realizing my tailgate was blocking them. I put the fog lights in last night.

Yesterday afternoon I added Baja designs S2 backup lights into the second aux switch. A lot more visibility in the backup camera now. I was able to use aux2 out the dark grey plug to the factory back in wire in the light grey plug then re-pinned the factory upfitter pass through wires to use the capped wires up under the spare tire so I didn’t need to run any new wiring. While I was there I just built out all the leads on the up-fitter plugs and capped them with folded heat shrink to leave them sealed until I need them. I think it’s: Spliced pink/green out on dark grey up-fitter plug under the hood, to violet/yellow back in on the light grey up-fitter plug under the hood. Then I pulled the violet/yellow lead out of pin 5 on the grey up-fitter plug from the bag inside the cab and swapped it with red/white pin 3 battery feed jumper going out back so that aux2 took the place of the constant battery feed to the back of the truck. I found it and the ignition feed pink/orange above the spare tire and spliced them to the jumper between lights included in the kit. Ran the ground wire inside the frame to the ground bolt and the rest of the wiring through the tube for the hitch to get to the other side. I need to climb back under the truck and tie wrap/bundle a couple inches of extra cables but it’s relatively hidden.
Pictures should be first headlight swapped with the LED next two how I capped the unused wiring so it couldn’t draw water up the strands. Heat shrink long past the end of wire. Fold it over and another piece over the top to seal the end closed.
