Upgrades for about $50 or less

Yep. Just need the harness to plug into the stock speaker wire. If you order from Crutchfield they throw it in for free. Saves ya ten bucks

I just ordered them, thanks for the help!

I can’t find the thread but if you search for lasfit that is what most on here seemed to go with. I ordered mine recently and awaiting delivery. Here is what almost seem to use.

No issues with the push button start and these LEDs? I ordered some LEDs before and they caused interference with the remote...no fun so I took them off and returned them.

I’d say the following are my favorite under $50.

1. Interior LED light swap kit
2. Third brake like LED swap
3. Additional rear backup lights (backup lights weren’t enough for my liking.)
4. Husky mud flaps. Got a set for used price on amazon which was really just an opened box because they weren’t touched. Mopar flaps have some flaws such as holding water/mud.

What lights did you use for the custom reverse lights? Thinking this would be nice, or thinking of getting a tailgate LED bar.

I used the LUYED lights from amazon. Here is a thread on it. The OP did just one of them, I decided to do two and it still works great to this day. https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/luyed-led-new-frugal-led-reverse-light.16538/page-3

You didn't lose any volume by doing this?

None. They are bright and easy to install.

I always wonder that too....I have the Alpine system and wonder if replacing the dash speakers are a no brainer also or if That is just for those with the base system.

i'd say you should do it, your speakers are the same as the base system. only difference with you system is that you have an alpine amplifier which obviously makes a substantial difference

amazon has some nice light bar kits for around $30 or so, i mounted a 24 inch to my front license plate holes.
Lighting tint film is also another really inexpensive mod.
Rain guards, bug shield (a little more than $50), muffler delete , detailing products to clean, polish and seal your paint!
i've seen someone on here mount a CB radio to where the CD player goes, that radio is under $50.
You could spend a couple bucks on a few cans of Fluid Film and undercoat your truck like i did when i first got it, holding up nicely.
you could also spend $50 on 3/4 tank of gas

Do you have any pictures or write up for the light bar in the license plate holes?

Here’s how it looks, just gotta play with the mounts until it sits the right way, I got this light bar, has everything you need: Nilight LED Light Bar 20Inch 126W Spot Flood Combo Led Off Road Lights with 16AWG Wiring Harness Kit-2 Lead, 2 Years Warranty https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XQGQTXQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_IPihFb4N9B22V

I wired it to the battery and mounted the switch under the steering wheel, under the plastic price that covers the fuse box. I didn’t want to cut anything for the switch. I put a mopar overlay on it lol

I bought the kickers to replace the dash alpine system speakers. IMO they a mistake and i put the alpines back in. If anyone wants my kickers for the dash you can have them for free just pay shipping

Husky mud flaps, $45 on Amazon.

 

[Rickyrocket]

I have LASFIT LEDs in my whole cab and I don't have any issues with anything.

The LASFIT LEDs are more expensive than what you'll buy on ebay but they are USA made and very nice quality. It's also nice that they are non-polar so it doesn't matter which way you plug them in.

Any idea why my last fit map lights flicker when i start the truck? It's the only ones that do it and it's the only time they do it.

Are they fully seated? I've only had mine in for a week or so but I've not had any issues with them (map, dome, footwell, and lower glove box).

I took my ceiling console out to do the map lights. Even with access to the back of the bulb sockets it was a bear to get mine in and seated well as the bulb barely clears the reflector and housing. With the LED you lose the whole range of fade when you shut the door as it doesn't take long to reach the cutoff voltage and the LEDs just turn off but I don't have any issue with flickering.

If no one has claimed them yet I’ll bite

I had the hardest time with the map lights also...in fact they pissed me off I eventually got them seated but was a lot of playing around and crimping their contacts (if that’s what they are called) to get them to fit right. You probably just don’t have them sitting in there tight enough.

Do the dash speaker grates just pop off ?
