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?

Replaced the door handle cap on the
Rear drivers door as paint was peeling.

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.

Just a generator and a transfer switch to power the electrical box is what I got and love it for emergencies.

I'd rather spend the night in a hotel. Better yet, just get a whole home generator.

I hear the AC and hotel argument.

But I'm all about collecting these memories while the kids are young enough to want to be around me.

Plus, it's little things like these that could help decide how nice a nursing home I get.

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

Just be careful on how many replies you make, or else the mods will create a new thread and move all the posts.

I almost pulled the trigger on one but I could not justify 16k to use every once in a while. I’ve been pleased with my generator and transfer switch. I Had to use it last year for 16 hrs and didn’t skip a beat. Also has duel fuel so that’s a plus and a remote start(battery)

it's not the grid lol
it's the breaker panel at the house.

i was wondering why my neighbors got power but i don't and i tried to reset the breakers but didn't work lol

i do have a portable AC and solar generator (that's what I run inside the truck. 3000wh of capacity) and that's how i keep my fridge running 24/7.
I plug it in every 2 days in summer and it just happen that the day power went was the day I left it unplugged.
I'm also in the process of adding solar for the truck so I don't have to plug it in as often lol

just wasn't a good day for it to happen lol

not my house so im not worrying lol but when i move out to my own land i'm gonna have on for the house and the garage/ shop.
i do get employee pricing at the hotel i used to part time at (half off) but im not about to deal with morning traffic going to the shop. (the hotel is about 20 miles away with traffic, which means I gotta leave house around the same time I woke up in the tent that morning )

at least i got to practice overlanding before the trip next weekend LOL

I thought about getting the whole house generator, but as you said for the few times I would use it not sure it's worth the money. I have a Honda 2000 I run for the fridge, a few lights, and TV for short power failures. If I need more I have a 5500w I back feed into house through the welding rec in my shop (manual transfer switch, me). With the 5500w I can run everything I need except the electric water heater, stove, and central a/c.

Installed a FitCamX today on my ‘24 Limited. Was a bit more difficult than the YouTube videos. Had to pull fairly hard to get the mirror surround out.

 

[boogielander]

"the clone" is almost complete. forgot the guy wants rock lights as well so will wrap it up tomorrow.
promised the guy that he will get his truck done before i leave for alaska and looks like that promise will be fulfilled ahead of schedule

FitCamX installed. I got him the 4k version with no back camera at his request. Took 5 minutes to do lol

SwitchPro mounted on ICS dash mount and 67D arm, base, and holder. the OG manufacturer and legit Made in USA unlike the other popular brand that uses foreign made stuff and sells for half the price.

Switch Pro installed in the middle. I left space for the guy to run phone mounts should he chooses to. All lights utilize lower amp rated switch location because I'm running relays for all, so lower amp rated switches are fine for use as triggers.

Also installed the matt screen protector as well.

Baja Designs XL Racers Edition on SDHQ A-pillar light mount, exactly like mine. Only difference is I have antenna there as well.

My old amber lensed LP6 goes back to where they used to be. Support brackets are needed for these for sure. Will be fabricating support for him if he wants to but that will be after OCtober. Also will be making my own brackets as well after October if everything goes according to my plan.

After getting used to LP9s the LP6s sure look smaller.
