    2016 Radio swap

    I have a 2016 Ram Big Horn with an 8.4 3C w/ Navigation radio but I want to upgrade to an 8.4 4C. My local salvage yards never have any in inventory, i'm not sure they even sell radios retail. 1. Is this a direct swap, plug and play? 2. Does anyone know of a good place to purchase an 8.4 from?

    Adding aux switches?

    I have not taken my dash board apart to look yet, I have only the top row of buttons with the lower row blank. If I purchase a new switch panel how will I connect the wires that will go to the relay box? I suspect that there will be blank holes in the terminal plug that I will need to add...

    Ram aux switch panel

    My intent is to hook the switches to a custom relay box to bypass the canbus completely. Several people have posted about doing that but with slightly different switch modules.

    Custom Bumper Kit Build

    After getting my stock bumper bent by an unlicensed illegal immigrant, I had an urge to make my 2016 Ram 1500 a little more armored. I found this nice kit from Move Bumpers https://www.movebumpers.com/ that nearly fit my needs. The problem with the 1500 design is that any movement of the...

    Recycled air

    I hate the fact that the recirculation setting reverts to outside air every time I turn the truck off. Here in Texas we have high humidity, exhaust fumes and dairy farms as well as the occasional sewage plant. I prefer to keep the outside air out. I contacted Magnus at customtronix to ask him...

    I have a 2016 Ram 1500 Big Horn with the chrome bumper. I want to build a front bumper but the flexible trim piece between the body and bumper is an awkward shape. I would like to replace it with the smaller trim pieces that fit just under the lights on the 2500. 1. What is this trim piece...
