I just bought a 20 inch led bar to mount between the tow hooks on mine. My buddy has one on his and it is soooo bright and it looks great where it's mounted. Ill post some pics later in the week when I get home and install it.

For fender flares I had to go with the pocket style ones for maximum coverage. I'm not a big fan of the pocket style so I might have a body shop fill in the rivet holes and make it smooth. The smooth ones covered 2.25 and the pocket ones covered 2.75. There is an oversized pocket style flare but its straight overkill.

Fun! I like spending other peoples money

I would get the flares first, they are what is going to be the biggest difference IMO I would go with some pocket style IMO. I like them the best.

Are you wanting to get a full LED light bar? Those can run a good 500+ dollars, but are seriously the sex when it comes to light and how the light looks.

Side steps.... Who needs em? Fat chicks can't jump. I personally don't like side steps on lifted trucks, as they just give the allusion of a smaller truck... It defeats the purpose of a lift to me. How ever it is your truck, if you NEEDED steps I would get the AMP power steps. Those are probably the coolest exterior mod you can do to a truck. A good chunk of change though :/

As far as the intake goes, don't get K&N those are garbage, been there done that. Vararam and Volant are is where I would put my money. If you like to go through water wholes a lot then get the volant. I have never had problems with my Vararam in rain yet, but I am still skeptical about it.

I don't like the dumbo ears tow mirrors xD

haha ya you are pretty much spending my money lmao

and for the light bar im looking for a bar that bolts on the bumper and add lights too..
ill probably be going with some bushwackers.. and i am a big off road guy so water and mud does come around alot lol so thanks for the advice with the intake

where did you get your grill ??

I was gonna get a light bar like you have...
do you like it or would you get something different ??

4x4Hemi · Nov 25, 2012

I like it a lot, I want an led light bar between the tow hooks at some point to, but these ones are good. Light output isn't th best, but I have 2 sets of HIDs on thr way to convert them. So for $80 for the lights and $40 for hids they should be pretty good!

Yep LED light bars are the ****.

I got mine at Carid.com They are T-rex style grilles. Upper/lower. Sturdy as a ****. I love how solid they are for sure.

Hmm well I bought it from a member on the forum, but I know it's an nfab light bar, it bolts into the front license plate holes. You have to har the steel bumper, not the plastic sport or express one

ok good, how was the wiring ? and where did you mount a switch inside the truck ??
thats one thing thats stoping me with adding lights is where to add a switch inside lol its not like my 96 cummins i had more switches the better lol

but in the new truck im not sure if i want to hide them or not ?

4x4Hemi · Nov 25, 2012

Oh ita really simple, it's just a matter of where to ground them l! I put the switches on the knee panel thingy, but if you don't want that you can get a factory switch plate for in your dash that replaces where it says ram.

You can only use it tho if you don't have the heated seats thing because it would replace that
