3 days of rain and finally got a break, let the kids play while I installed A pillar lights (Lasfit flood) & Putco mounts. Taking my oldest out later tonight to help adjust the lights.

Thanks for looking, God bless! (y):cool:

Pictures attached

1.) 32” light bar w/ 18w sport Lasfit ditch lights (flood)

2.) low beams with fogs

Alright, here’s the FULL walkthrough of my UAX install. By far one of my most favorite interior upgrades so far in my truck. It doesn’t get much more turn key than this. Total install took 45 minutes start to finish then it took about a day for all the apps to show up.


Loved the YouTube video you did! One thing you didn’t mention was the cost of the new 12” unit from Infotainment.com. I realize there are some different options regarding trim color, etc. but would you mind letting us know the rough cost to do this upgrade? Thanks!!

Actually, I followed the link on your video to the unit you ordered. Not cheap but definitely a great upgrade. Thanks again!!

Did it a few days ago, but finally took a picture. Added the Diode Dynamics C1R Plus hitch light, in addition to the Tow Hook lights. All from @Shifts And Grins Fab.
Gotta stop adding reverse lights…running out of places to put them.

They actually look really good though I have the single hitch mount and was thinking of getting some other mounts I found and put 2 more of those like these but does Shifts & Grins or DD sell just a cable harness to run to all 3? I couldn’t find just the cable harness anywhere I know of but I could probably put one together with my own cables and Deutch DT plugs but it’s a lot of extra work if they make a simple plug and play harness.

I just daisy-chained two adapters to the trailer harness. One for the tow hook lights, and one for the hitch mount. It would have been fairly easy to splice the hitch light directly into the other adapter, but I took the lazy route.

Edit: @Shifts And Grins Fab sells an adapter that provides two deutsch connectors for the two hook lights, but I’m not aware of a single adapter that provides three.

That’s probably what I’ll end up doing then I for the life of me could find a single adapter that provides three so I’ll end up going that route for sure. Thanks for the feedback!

I bought the adapter from Vice Designs and a splitter from Amazon. IIRC S&G is four pin for dual use where VD is 2 pin for just back up lights. You might be able to find a 3 way splitter on Amazon or elsewhere. Or just get two splitters.

Sold my Black 2020 ram night edition for a $ 1000 less than what I paid for 2020. And brought a 2023 blue night edition. Will change signature in next day or two.

Everything went fine. I was in and out of the dealership in about 45 minutes. The throttle feels a little more responsive now.

Ordered some LED Bulbs for the 3rd Brake Light. Wiring up the 4th Brake light. Put a soft cover on the arm rest.

Upgraded my headlights and both fogs to LEDs. Went with yellow lights for the Fogs.

Also installed some more storage options in the doors to help when the jump seat is being used.

While installing the headlight bulbs, my dumb self chose to leave the door open and checked the headlights after each bulb install. Ended up with a dead battery, but I got the chance to test out my tiny jump starter. Worked like a charm.

I also intended to change my cabin air filter but the one I bought was the wrong size. I just dusted out the old one and put it back in for now.

Not too bad for a rainy day. 👍
I have the door handle storage bins also, very handy.

Great question since I ordered the wrong one initially. They told me, and I can confirm, that "Medium Blue Metallic (B5)" is a very close match to what came on the trucks. I did not order letters to go on the 1500 badge in the hood, because I was concerned that the colors wouldn't be a close enough match. Now that I've got them on there, I will probably order the 1500 overlays as well.
thanks for the info
