    5th Gen Ram 1500 30" Light Bar Bracket Set

    I'll try that if my contraption doesn't hold up. I have until late spring to make sure its 100% since that's when I am going out west and would really need this setup

    5th Gen Ram 1500 30" Light Bar Bracket Set

    Okay so I made a small mistake I think. The brackets may have been a touch too wide to the point where the bar would pitch up a bit after driving over rough roads and speed bumps, I tired torquing the light bar bolt and ended up stripping one side I think. The other side is good and tight now...

    For those that aren’t using some sort of controller, where did you decide on mounting the switch? I just decided to go through the blank trailer brake controller. Didn’t need to take the radio out, just drill the hole, stick a fish tape through and reach up in and grab it to pull back through

    I was impressed with the first pic 🙃 my halogen lights are so bad. Looks good and thanks for documenting all of it. I put in my order for the shifts and grins brackets with the 30inch from DD so hopefully it performs well.
