Here’s a couple of shots. Not connected to headlights at all - on an independent switch.

Did my install today. I decided to take the bumper off completely to install. I have active air dam and needed to swap the grill as well I’m glad I removed the bumper as it was pretty tight in there even with it on the bench - it would have sucked doing all that work under the truck. I used a...

Ever since I’ve known better, I put a relay on all switches. Makes me more comfortable not having the current flow through the switch.

Two occurrences now where the start/stop has a delay and triggers the actual engine starter motor (not the generator) to start the engine before I roll away from a stop. It’s not a smooth takeoff at all - very rough. I have no codes/warnings. Is this something anyone else had experienced...

Here’s where I put my light bar switch.

I did some pre-work today for my upcoming install. I’m still waiting on my replacement grill to show up to do the actual install, but I took some time to get the switch installed. I’m using the Rough Country light bar, and I was less than impressed with their switch so I bought a cheap o...

Has anyone removed the bumper completely to install the brackets/light? Seems pretty minimal work to remove - two plastic trim pieces and 6 bolts. I’m considering it so I can set the bumper on a table instead of struggling on my back under the truck.

Nice! I just ordered mine with a note requesting the newest version.

I’d love some ideas where people are mounting switches as well for anyone willing to share!

Any updates on timing of updated bracket design? I have a Laramie so I want to be sure to get the updated version for my install.

I got one of the $160 ones off of Amazon and it seems to be the same as the mopar one. Very sturdy and I’m close to the weight limit. The screws holding the step to the arm vibrated loose so be sure to locktite/torque them .

I have a long torso, so mine were too low at the highest setting - I added another slot to the mounting posts to move it even higher (angle grinder and a file). Interested to see if they can move back further as well - I’d bet there is some way to open the cover and modify the mounting.

Stock replacement

Confirmed today. Swapped in the replacement horn in about 10 minutes just by taking off the radiator cover. There is room between the core support and the ac condenser to sneak it in. 10mm bolt comes off on the back side so no need to move the latch or remove the grill. I no longer sound...
