Not for the faint of heart. I have the go rhino light bar. After 1 1/2 yrs the rivnuts failed, this is to to mounting the light bar on top of the plastic rail covers. We cut out top of bed rail and welded in 1/8 plate strip steel with 1/2 nuts welded on. Its not moving now!!!

Wow! Lokks good tho, solid. What light bar is that? How's the setup for it?

Hi, my name is Scott. I'm new to this forum and just recently got my 2023 Ram 1500 Big Horn Night Edition within the last month so let me catch up what I've done to this truck since I got it. (FWIW, my previous truck was a 2007 Dodge Ram 3500 DRW 6.7L Cummins which I had for the past 7 years)

Here's what I've done to my 2023 Ram 1500 in the past month (July 2024):
  • TruXedo Pro X15 Tonneau Cover
  • Elite Car Box 3.0 Video Streamer
  • Banks PedalMonster Throttle Controller
  • VIOFO A119 Mini 2 Dashcam, hardwired
  • Lock'er Down EXxtreme LD2078EX Console Safe
  • Apple AirTag :)
  • Tile Pro Tracker :)
  • Mopar OEM Bed Step
  • Moper OEM Front License Plate Bracket (Texas requires front plates, grrrrr)
I have a few more things I plan to add:
  • Z Automotive Tazer DT
  • JW2Innovations Kill Switch
  • DIY Under Seat Storage for Rear Seats
  • Mopar OEM Trailer Brake Controller
  • Mopar OEM Bed Utility Rails
Ranch Hand Legend Deer/Grille Guard, maybe... I had a Ranch Hand Legend Deer/Grille Guard on my old Dodge Ram 3500. Living in rural Texas with tons of suicidal deer running around, 99% of the trucks out here have deer guards and probably 99% of them are Ranch Hand deer guards (Ranch Hand is made in Shiner, TX). Very solid heavy duty deer guard. I haven't decided yet if I want one on my Ram 1500 but if I do it will be another Ranch Hand Legend deer/grille guard.

Well, i slept in my ram last night.
power went out and the house was still scorching hot at midnight. no power means i can't even run fan to pull cold air from outside in. And I was too cheap to get a hotel room for a few hours of sleep.

Went to bed at 3AM, by 7AM inside the tent was getting hot LOL
To be fair I could've open the windows but I don't want my neighbor to see me in my boxers snoring in the tent in the morning. that would be a traumatic sight for the 70 years old couple.
Time to invest in a generator and a portable a/c unit for the bedroom for emergencies like this.

It's an electrical conspiracy! First @HSKR R/T, then @boogielander & @JamRam...
