What did you do to your Ram today???

[ramButz]

Installed SDHQ Ditch light Brackets and reinstalled my old BD Squadron Sports and TRAM HAM Antenna that I took off from my 4Runner. I should've bought new Squadron faceplates and new antenna but... why waste money just to look good? Not like Im sponsored or anything.
Also installed SDHQ Terminal kit to clean up my wiring at the battery, since I need to add one more power cable from battery and will need multiple grounds for all the lights and stuff I planned to add.
Finally, extended and hid the ditch light wires as the originally supplied harness was not long enough for a full size truck. I took off the plastic plugs and hid all the wires under the plastic cover. There are plenty of room under the plastic cover for that.

there are positive terminals near the fuse box? Do you mean the one on the fuse box itself?

if you look inside the fuse box.you will see a series of bolts .i think about 6 or 7.the second from the top is your constant 12v.plus i have a gang switch ,that i also used.by using that bolt in your fuse box.you can connect more than one fuse 12v application.back in my olden days we use to also tap a wire from the alternator

ohh those.
I thought about using those too but figured they are fused for something (i forgot what exactly lol) so I didn't use those.
I'm also using blue sea circuit breaker for every additional power distribution panel I install anyways (one goes in the cab the other one will go to the bed)

Wow, I finally caught up with 60 pages of this thread that I’ve missed in that time I did a few things:
1) New platinum wiper blades from Scrubblade! They work great and if you use my code SKEEEET you’ll get 10% off!
2) Interstate H8 Battery from Costco since my stock H7 died on its 3rd birthday lol. Surprisingly Costco was selling them for only $135 on Cyber Monday!
3) Installed ‘Desert Does It’ Seat Jackers, and WOW they make a huge difference. I expected just a little more leg support, but dang lifting the front of the seat made the entire seat feel like a snug bucket seat!
4) Got the truck looking a little festive with the tinted Baja Designs lights and puddle lights haha

Haha I’m not familiar with all their products, but they definitely make the seat jackers for our trucks! They still have 15% off right now too. I thought it was kinda dumb to spend $85 on a couple billet spacers, but I’m glad I did!

I have this neat little button on the side of my seat that controls a motor to lift the front of my seat up

Lol yeah wise guy so do I, but it doesn’t raise the front nearly enough - even if the front is maxed and the back is low. These make a world of difference for comfort, leg support, and I guess stability (you feel much more planted in the seat).

Changed my oil as well. No longer need jacks or stands to do so. Just a creeper in the driveway. Only a couple hundred miles on the tires, so I'll rotate em next time.

Installed carbon fiber steering wheel w/heat. Ebay, shipped from China, same factory that supplies US, about $300 less than US distributors. Uses factory frame. Heating connectors are not factory, so some splicing is required.

so how do you like you new wheel? confort of it in your hands and also the heating, is it as good as original heat and distribution wise? does it heat all around?

Happy Holidays all!

Was sent the digital image for my new front bumper. Not going to post pics until it's done. But it looks great. And I will have the only one like it for a while.

Can't you just use a handful of washers?

That part is a critical item in an extreme deceleration even (i.e., a crash). The bolt should be in shear, not bending moment. And a stack of washers won’t keep it in shear.
