What did you do to your Ram today???

Here are some samples from today. Make sure you are viewing in 1080p otherwise the quality is garbage. Also keep in mind the front camera is actually 4k, not 1080p like on YouTube so it's better.

I gotta order me a set of these for my truck and the wife's car now.
 
Not my truck but last monday we installed a set of our A Pillar / Ditch Light brackets on a customers Rebel along with a set of Diode Dynamics SS5 Pods we had. Install came out really nice and clean. The harness that you can add to the light purchase makes wiring clean and a breeze. When our TRX gets in I will install these same lights using our brackets.

Do you happen to have the hardwire kit to record while parked? I want this feature. And I haven’t played to much with it. But It won’t turn that on. Now I’m reading I need a hard wire kit to activate that.
 
Swapped out the lower grille and installed a 22” light bar in the front bumper of my ‘19 1500 Laramie Sport.

This preexisting bolt behind the washer fluid reservoir makes for a perfect relay mounting location.

For 12v power to the switch, I used a fuse tap on fuse F35 (Mod Inverter / Mtr Sunshade Sunroof / Mtr Dual Sunroof) in the interior power distribution box. I had already used a fuse tap on F66 (Run - Accessory Feed) for my radar detector, but F35 is also ignition switched.

Highs, lows, fogs (thanks AlfaOBD), light bar

The finished look is very clean and discreet, which is exactly what I was looking for. The light bar and wiring harness is actually recycled from my previous RAM ('13 1500). I had the light bar mounted to a Ranch Hand grill guard for over 5 years with zero issues.

Is that vented grill cover supposed to be for another oil cooler or something? Or maybe the eco diesel for better cooling?

I believe it’s for the Diesels air-to-air Intercooler
 
Day 4 with my Laramie. Put on some 5" ionic nerf bars and got 20% put on the front windows. Planning on ordering and installing a dualliner bed insert next week.

Haha. First time gallon bag worked great. The last time I changed it I made a freaking mess using the bag.
I have to change my oil soon and I'm dreading it for this same reason...went well in the past, but barely. Lol
 
I just had them installed last week,

they were pretty straight forward, I think maybe you got the retrofit kit.

My truck didn’t have factory ambient so I have to run all new body wire harnesses and jumpers to connect everything.

It’s not bad at all. Take your oil filter wrench and loosen until you can just start to turn by hand. Put the gallon Ziploc all the way over the filter and then spin it off by hand. let it drop down and rest on whatever is right underneath it (cant remeber if its frame or something else). Then zip the bag closed while it’s still sitting there and remove everything gently. I threw a shop towel below where the filter screws and while I was removing the bag so the last few little drips wouldn’t get anywhere.

If the filter was installed correctly, and not the factory filter, you should never need a filter wrench to remove it

Here is the hardwire kit that I got which is required for the cam to record while truck is off. I will warn you though that it comes with two fuse taps that will not work. The included fuse taps are for MINI fuses and our trucks run Micro2 and Micro3 fuses. I've included another link below that should work

I thought I had the bag all the way up then all of the sudden there's oil down my arm. Pretty sure I make less mess without it tbh.
