Since Monday I have been in Florida, and honestly I’m still surprised by the car culture here and the sheer size of everything. I had seen pictures and videos before, but I never imagined it would actually look like this in real life. The trucks, the dealerships, the parking lots full of pickups...

I really like the Gyeon WetCoat. It’s incredibly fast and easy to apply, especially after a full wash and decontamination. The hydrophobic effect is excellent — water beads and sheets off immediately. It also adds a nice gloss and makes the surface feel very slick. Perfect solution for quick...

Most of the time, interior detailing involves using multiple tools together to achieve the best results. A compressor and vacuum are commonly used in combination, along with a Tornador tool with liquid feed connected to the compressor for deep cleaning. In many cases, the Tornador is used...

Today I did a full detailed wash and interior deep clean on my truck. After the winter season, we finally got a truly spring-like day, so I used the opportunity to bring the car back to top condition. I did iron/fallout removal and also removed tar/bitumen spots — basically everything needed for...

Finally finished up the ambient light system 100% and I’m really happy with how it turned out 🔥 I finished the full interior setup and added LED rings to the speakers as the final touch, which made difference in the overall look at night. Now the lighting flows cleanly across the dash, doors...

Today I randomly ran into my colleague — turned into a little RAM meet-up 😄❄️ My white RAM 1500 Longhorn parked next to his red RAM 1500 RHO, and they look 🔥 togethe 💪🚚

P0304 misfire only at WOT/high RPM — coil & plug swap didn’t move the misfire (Ram 1500 3.6, 2020) Hi everyone,this morning on my way to work I did a pretty aggressive overtake and went wide-open throttle. RPM climbed to redline and at that moment the truck beeped, threw a warning, Check Engine...

Hi guys, I recently bought AlfaOBD and started using it on my 2020 Ram 1500 DT. I don’t have a Security Gateway (SGW) bypass cable. My truck has the SGW, but I do have a Tazer DT installed. If I leave the Tazer plugged in, and then plug my OBD2 adapter into the port, AlfaOBD seems to work...

Yep, I know exactly what you mean — the kits that force you to run wiring through the door jamb are a pain, and that’s exactly why I went with this style of system. No door-jamb wiring needed: all wiring and the light install happens inside each door panel. Control is wireless between modules...

Yes, I missed your question earlier. Regarding wiring, in this ambient light kit the installation in each door starts and ends inside the door panel itself, so there is no need to run any additional wiring through the door jamb into the cabin. The system uses five separate control modules: one...

Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn 2020 3.6 v6

Thanks — I appreciate it. You’re 100% right: even adding only a front camera is a huge quality-of-life upgrade for curbs and tight parking. The reason I went all-in on 360 is because once you have a proper stitching ECU and a clean way to get the processed output onto the OEM screen, the...

If anyone’s curious, I can share my experience with adding a true 360° surround view system to a 5th gen RAM 1500 (DT) in a way that still uses the factory Uconnect screen. I’ve been hunting for a proper solution for a long time, because I didn’t want a generic “universal” kit with a separate...

Daytime, close up pictures.

I I ordered two sets (about 40€ each) because one kit wasn’t enough length for the amount of strips I wanted to run. Total cost: ~80€. Check out pictures in attachment. What I installed (layout) I used the strips like this: Front dashboard / front panel: 3 LED strips Center console: 2 LED...
