What did you do to your Ram today???

[Night Rebel]

Added the Mishimoto oil catch can today. We shall see how it does.

Had an oil catch can on one of my previous turbocharged cars and it did catch some blow-by.

Install was quick and looks really clean

That looks awesome. Might have to do this one.

Did you do front and back, or just front or just back?

Which wire did you tap to have the running board LEDs turn on with the door? I mean which color and in what location did you tap the "factory bed lighting wiring"? In rear door sill on driver's side and then again passenger side, or did you run them to the fuse box?

I’m interested in a setup like this too. Any details?

Added the Fuel Assault Wheels and flipped white letters to the inside.

- Lasfit LEDs for the rear cargo lights and third brake light. Was temporarily blinded but permanently satisfied.

- added a screen protector

- also purchased and installed the rebel applique that goes on top of the grille. I had originally painted my chrome one to satin black but it’s chipping badly and scratches easily, as expected, so I went for a more permanent solution.

What is the black seal around third brake light? Something aftermarket or oem thing as I see many people adding to prevent third brake leaks on headliner.

So, this was actually done yesterday afternoon. The front matches the back now, and I got the brow as well. So pleased with how it improves the look of the truck.

Yep, exactly. Just a precaution to avoid leaks. It’s permatex adhesive silicone purchased at autozone for $9 or so.

Perfect. Did you just did it or while ago? Curious when removing third brake light how would it be

Have you done anything around roof antenna? People reported issues comes from there as well over the headliner

Which wire did you tap to have the running board LEDs turn on with the door? I mean which color and in what location did you tap the "factory bed lighting wiring"? In rear door sill on driver's side and then again passenger side, or did you run them to the fuse box?

The wire tap Location for the bed lighting is:
Look underneath on the driver side near the bumper. I followed the wire from the factory light down to the connector ( see photo ). You’re going to tap into the WHITE wire. I confirmed this with my circuit tester. I unplugged the connector. I clipped the ground on one end of the light tester to the chassis and poked the three different wires coming from that clip when the bed lighting was on. Super easy to do. I used a wire tap that has a female spade connector on it. Then I took two wires and crimped one male spade connector on one end of the both of the wires together and a female spade connector on each end of the other wires. That way I can plug both Sides driver and passenger into the same wire. Then just crimp a male spade at the end of the power wire from the bed light and courtesy step light and plugged each side into the female spade plugs and grounded the other wires. I suggest you get a couple packages of these ( Photo attached ) waterproof connectors. I soldered and heat shrink one end of the waterproof connectors at the ends of the bed lighting and courtesy step light strips and the other end to the wire running back to the connectors at the back of the truck. That way in case The strips go bad you just unplug it replace it without having to run all the wire back. Everything connects with the waterproof connectors midway where the cab and the bed meet all tucked away and zip tied so you can always access it and unplug it and swap out a strip if it ever goes bad or burns out etc ( cheap Chinese Amazon lights ). I also put a little dielectric grease inside all the fittings just for extra precaution.

I just got back from a mechanic friend of mine who let me use his lift so I can cut out the pipe for the QTP exhaust cut out. I’ll be wiring up the motor this weekend.

Where did you ground it at? I'm assuming that the green and yellow wires you spliced together are for each of the light bars.

Added a Lomax Hard Tri-cover:

Rough Country bed mat:

and tinted the front windows 35% ( I would have matched the back 20% for looks but that is darker than I prefer to look out of at night.)
