    Bed Cap Compatibility

    Hello all. Been happy with my 19' 1500 I recently bought, but want to add a cap and bed storage system to it like I had on my old Tacoma. There are many types and sizes of "Rams". Does anybody know what would fit a 5th gen 6.4' bed besides exactly that? Do the 2500 and bigger trucks share a...

    Loading ramps

    With a lawn mower, I would make sure I got arched ramps. Depending on the height of the truck, length of ramps, and slope of the ground flat ramps can cause the deck to get hung up on the edge of the tailgate if the ramps are to steep. I load my motorcycle in the bed of my truck for long trips...

    5th Gen Ram 1500 30" Light Bar Bracket Set

    19' Bighorn with a hemi. I don't know how mine compares to other trucks, but it seems to be 100% stock. Before I pulled the grill filler, it was solid, but had a honey comb shape over the solid. Since I read it in multiple places, I bought the grill before starting the install. After removing...

    5th Gen Ram 1500 30" Light Bar Bracket Set

    I went and bought a replacement grill since I had a solid one since I was told by many sites it was needed. After removing the grill to swap it over, I just took the solid part out of the grill and reinstalled the mesh part with sensors and everything. Now I have a brand new useless grill I...

    5th Gen Ram 1500 30" Light Bar Bracket Set

    I have I stalled alot of parts on trucks over the years. The actual brackets were not crazy difficult to install, their big challenge was getting into the area. Very tight working area. My Bighorn had a solid grill in front of the light mount spot that had to be opened up. That was a horrible...

    5th Gen Ram 1500 30" Light Bar Bracket Set

    Awesome setup! This is what I wanted to do when I bought my Ram, but found out about the active grill shutters after buying it... would love to have a setup like this. On my old tacoma I added a mesh grill and had 7" round spots behind the grill and a 30" lightbar as well.

    5th Gen Ram 1500 30" Light Bar Bracket Set

    On my Bighorn, it was only like 1/2 through the slot. Reading on here, some are saying different trims sit slightly higher then others, but I was not happy with a single on mine.

    Hemi or EcoDiesel dilemma

    I get it, but that's a $60k truck. I didn't pay anywhere near that.

    Hemi or EcoDiesel dilemma

    The pontoon is 2 stories tall with hard sides 2-2.5' tall on the top. It definitely is felt back there vs the ski boat that weighs much more.

    Hemi or EcoDiesel dilemma

    Yes they are. But good luck finding one. I buy lightly used vehicles and found 0 in a several hundred mile radius back in June when I bought my truck. I could order a new one, but don't want to pay new prices.

    Hemi or EcoDiesel dilemma

    I have a 19' Bighorn with the 5.7, and my friend has a 21' Limited with the ED, and previously he had a 19' Laramie with the 5.7. I know I have 3.21 gears, I don't know what either his trucks have. I have towed his boats quite a bit with all 3 trucks, as he is not so great with trailers. The...

    5th Gen Ram 1500 30" Light Bar Bracket Set

    Id try it before buying a single. I'm much happier with the dual, then the single. Not sure how the curved part would work, but I think it would still fit. If you don't have tow hooks on the front, you can pop out the plastic covers for those holes and swap a bar pretty easy. I changed the bars...

    5th Gen Ram 1500 30" Light Bar Bracket Set

    I had a single row led bar in my garage, so I installed it. Put out decent light, but I found the light was only 1/2 in the opening and I lost a bunch of light. Bought a double row, and get way better light through the opening and down the road.

    5th Gen Ram 1500 30" Light Bar Bracket Set

    I have my lightbar wired into the highbeams, but also have a override switch inside to turn it off. It's just the basic switch that came with the kit, but I'm happy with it. For where I located the switch you need to put a hole in the visible dash panel, but also need to carve out the panel that...

    5th Gen Ram 1500 30" Light Bar Bracket Set

    Im doing basically the same setup I did on my last truck as it worked so well. Having it on a separate switch on the dash somewhere makes it harder to turn on/off for traffic and whatnot. I figure if I need the extra light of a lightbar, I need my high beams already. I do not have auto high...

    5th Gen Ram 1500 30" Light Bar Bracket Set

    I have a BigHorn. Do I have the active air dam? I thought all the trims did....Ive only owned the truck for 2 weeks so not very knowledgeable on it. I have a 30" single row bar ready to go in. Had the same bar mounted on my Tacoma. It got some moisture in it and got warrantied, but never got...

    5th Gen Ram 1500 30" Light Bar Bracket Set

    Hello, people who have this setup. I bought a 19' Ram 2 weeks ago, and first thing I got for it was these brackets to hold a 30" light bar I have already. They are currently in the mail to me. Thanks @shiftsfor the fast service. I bought the replacement grill cover from some place else as mine...
