What did you do to your Ram today???

Tints, Ultra Vision Stealth Windshield Tint, Borla Atak Exhaust, and RamAir Intake. I tried to upload a video but I don’t know how.

Removed a rats nest from my snowblower and replaced a chewed fuel line....
And installed my pod light in my trailer hitch with a splitter cable for my 7 pin.

I didn't realize my camera was changing exposure until after I came inside so it's hard to see how much more light it throws (a lot)

Do you have a link for the pod light and a daytime pic of it installed in the hitch? Is it so bright that it will pi$$ off people in the parking lot behind you?

Realtruck via the forums can likely get you a better price. I paid $130 for mine.

I don't have any daylight pictures as I didn't put it on till around 5pm I can take 1 tomorrow.

It's only bright in reverse, which at that points it's suppose to be bright. The brake light is bright, but pretty close to the rest of the lights. The camera makes it seem blinding, which all of the lights are the 10 feet away I was.
 
Went to the track yesterday to get some data. I ran the truck full weight on my heavy 20x12 wheels. I wasn’t sure how well I would hook up being on street tires. Lowered rear tire pressure to 22psi and eased into the throttle. Overall not bad, a lot more potential. Worked some bugs out and got some good tuning data for my tuner.

No internals? Just the bolt on headers, throttle body, intake, and balancer, with a tune? That's amazing with an almost 6,000 lb vehicle.

Day pics
Metal housing with plastic push clips on the side (you can cut and use a locking pin).
I think it would stay in even without the push clips, it's a tight fit so no jiggle.

Thanks. I would definitely use a locking pin. I just want it to work as a reverse light, so I wonder if I can pull the yellow and blue wires out of the harness? I'll have to ask Diode Dynamics if that's possible.

Completely stock unopened motor. Just standard bolt ons. Thank you! Definitely has more in it with a lighter wheel setup and more seat time.

You 100% can.
Just cut their existing plug wiring and use a curt adaptor, or tap into the exist wring.

Reverse has it's own wire, I believe it's white but you can just look at the diagram for the 7 pin on our trucks to confirm.

I was just going to pull the yellow and blue wires out of the back of their harness. Red is for reverse and black is the ground.

Yes, that will work. I’d just make sure to seal up the holes if you’re yanking the wires out. Or you could cut/cap them, just in case you decide you want to use them later on.
I have the same lights (SSC1 Pro’s), but in a dual configuration at my tow hooks. No brake lights, just running lights and reverse.

Did a real carbon fiber trim piece around the push button. Not sure how I feel about it. Fitment is ok.
