    GMRS/CB Radio Install

    I’m glad to hear it. Last thing I wanted was an additional 2 feet of reduced clearance! I’m thinking of mounting the antenna on the top of my toolbox behind the cab. Now I just need to find an entry point for the coax cable besides the firewall grommet in the engine department.

    GMRS/CB Radio Install

    Great set up! As it relates to the antenna, why did you choose to put in on the a-pillar, and not mount it higher on the roof? Was clearance an issue? Are your getting good reception? I figured a roof mount would offer better tx/rx, but I don’t like the idea of a 20” antenna on top of a 80” tall...

    Hard-wire Dash Cam Install

    Right on Securityguy! I did some googleing and got it figured out. Install looks nice and clean. Took your advice and ran the wire down to the fuse box instead of the mirror. My only concern is that I have it in a dedicated power fuse location (to preserve the parking recording feature) and the...

    Hard-wire Dash Cam Install

    Sticker500 - Did you remove an existing 10amp fuse and replace it with the new cable? Also, did you put in two (2x) 5amp fuses in the new cable housing?

    Hardwire radar detector to rear view mirror?

    That looks pretty clean. Can you add some detail on how you included the mute button there?

    Granite crystal metallic thread

    Sorry for the delay - I had them put on the front and rear. They are all purchased together from what I have seen.

    Decked Truck Bed System

    My Decked system arrives today; I’m looking forward to getting that installed. Only issue is that it eliminates the ability to use the factory bed divider. Has anyone come up with a bed divider solution that would work with the Deked system?

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Installed my Zroadz rear LED light bars and completed the wiring! Very happy... HOWEVER, anyone that is thinking of disconnecting the battery - you might have problems with the camera system once its all connected back together. I encountered this problem. Search for "Surround Camera...

    Switch location for aux lights?

    Cool. I ended up going with the switch that was on the harness that was provided. finished up the install today. Only problem is now my cameras aren’t working after disconnecting the battery.

    Known Issue - Backup Camera System Unavailable

    Same thing happened to me today. Disconnected the battery and once it was reconnected, and powered up - camera stopped working.

    Switch location for aux lights?

    Is that an Oracle switch? Is the LED ring always lit, or only when it is on?

    Granite crystal metallic thread

    More than happy with my new 2020 1500 5.7 Limited. Ended up going with 35” BFG, 20” Method Wheels, and the Revel Links to accommodate the BFG’s with the air suspension system without getting an error code/msg.

    Rifle Storage

    You can check out Decked Systems. They provide an entire storage system for the bed of your truck. It offers two 4‘ deep roller drawers that you can add a lock to. Once installed, you can add the Kolpin Rhino Grips to safely and securely hold the long guns.

    Tuffy Security Provides Safe In-Floor Storage for 2019 Ram Trucks

    Not sure if this has been covered in a different thread, but in case it wasn’t, have you guys checked out the LockerDown products? https://www.lockerdown.com/ Ordering one tomorrow. I like that it is an entire system, not just a lid. Seems to be more secure, especially if you plan on carrying a...

    Just installed Revel Leveling/Lift Links on my Limited with Air Suspension

    Probably not the best angle to show, but I had all four links put on. Been driving it for over two weeks now and no error codes or messages. I am running 35” BFG. In normal mode, I can sometimes have some minor rubbing at the furthest extent of the turn. Looks clean.

    Auxiliary Switches Wiring

    I think there is a pic in this thread... https://5thgenrams.com/community/posts/226720/ ramButz posted it. There is a rubber grommet above the pedals that you can put a hole in and run the wire through. Using that to run a switch from my rear light wire harness from the engine compartment into...

    Switch location for aux lights?

    Perfect... That was the panel I was thinking of going through. I’d prefer to go up closer to the dash, but it is a separate panel with leather, so I’m gonna stick to the plastic area. Now I just need to figure out how to remove that panel. :unsure: Thanks for the other pic on getting through...
