Best Mods for Under $100

[S0CAL]

I like those bakboxes, just not the price.

yes, the only thing cheap on the Bakbox is the adhesive on the velcro!

How’s the quality of the bakbox? I’ve been considering one to throw some of work tools, hard hat etc in there.

It is easily "gougable" so if in use, and you have gear sloshing around, a slam on the brakes may ding it. It's cool how it folds up and gives me total cargo space. Like I mention above, the adhesive on the velcro is bad, so securing it for use needs to be rigged, but it's doable. All in all, worth the $ and the convenience. But that focker is no $100 mod!

Where u put washer under the mounting bolts of the seat frame. When raised up it makes it able to clear the rear hangers so top seat can fold down when u lift bottom seat up.

Pictures please

Just added these (got 4) a few days ago flush mount stainless bull ring anchors: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PGH959E/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They look great and at only $15/ea I don't see why every RAM owner wouldn't have them unless you have a camper shell or rack blocking your stake pockets. I used a box cutter to cut out the scribed areas of the bed rail which worked fine don't need to use a router like they suggest.

Here are the factory LEDs with red Lamin-x. I also filled the always on pin-hole light with Lamin-X and the OEM foot-well lights.

If you don't have factory LEDs or if you do and want to replace the bulb anyway you can use these which are cheap and good accessory bulbs.

Use this bulb if you DO NOT have factory LEDs

Use this bulb if you DO HAVE factory LEDs (low profile so the lens/diffuser will fit back on) and want a brighter bulb. This only comes in white from what I see so you will still need to tint the lens with a small square of Lamin-x for a red light...

If you need Lamin-X go here and find the cheapest universal sheet of the color you want.

Just getting around to checking the links and the two Amazon links for the bulbs are broken.

I also checked out diode dynamics and I find the map lights easy enough, but the dome light is a 578 and they don't have that one. I tried to find the equivalent of the 578 in an LED bulb, and I think it's the 44mm, but not sure if that's the one or not.

Don't be put off by the low prices. These are not "cheap" lights..everyone else is just charging too much. I've used these for three years now without a single one failing yet and if they do you'll have plenty of spares. Probably enough to do your buddies truck and your significant others vehicle too.

How many washers are necessary to make that work. I need it raised for my speaker box, but the fold down option would be a nice perk as well.

There is a thread on it. For some reason, I went over 3/4" and still couldn't get it to fold down. Conversely, you can cut down the nylon and metal hooks on the back of the seat to accomplish the fold down without raising. Or you could do a combination of both.

Edit: the above link starts in 2011. Their were changes for 2013+ trucks to the rear wall hooks and latches. Look for posts/threads for 2013 and later trucks...

Thanks, finally found the vid that shows it all. Might have to carve out some of my sub box to for the front bolts, otherwise the box will just rest higher and I still may not get my seat down all the way. Geesh, guess I'll get a six pack since this could be an all dayer!

Bought this to hold my phone when using it for navigation. It clips on the dash right in front of the steering wheel. I remove it as soon as I get to my destination.

Might I sugges these? I have liked mine quite a bit and with the bench seat (not sure about yours) when I lift the console nothing falls out of place or rattles

Installed my handgun magnet. Amazon $26 and rated at 33lbs. Unless I jump the Snake River I don't see my pistol falling down from bumps in the road. Here's a few pics and a link. 5 minute installation.
