MarshRam's Murdered 2014 SLT

[MarshRam]

Well then I am sold. thanks!

You probably still need a basket to put that spare in, unless you want to figure out a way to tie it down in a manner that is not aesthetically displeasing.

Between Yakima, Thule and Rhino, really no major difference. Rhino is just a little bit cheaper, better bang for the buck. But, I don't think Rhino has a basket to match the racks. I could be wrong, it's been awhile since I have checked out racks. I know you needed a specific width to fit that spare.

Got that all figured out. Getting a basket with tire carrier and light bar mounts and bolting it to the Rhino Rack Vortex bars.

Absolutely will do!

Got these in today. Just realized this is the second mod in a row that wasn’t on my pending list or considerations. Lol. Will get these on tomorrow.

WeatherTech Window Deflectors: Part# 82503, dark color.

 

[MarshRam]

Damn, guess I won't be putting these WeatherTechs on tonight.

Swapped out the Dual Double Din XDVD210BT for a Pioneer AVH-201EX. Huge improvement. Didn't need the 7" screen nor all the extra media options, just cd's and bluetooth. Now on to amp replacements. Will probably just keep the subs and I am done messing with this.

 

[MarshRam]

Hmmm, new brake and reverse lights, 1700 lumens. These better be bright. Fast delivery anyhow, ordered them before I went to bed last night! Will post pics when I get them installed.

LUYED LED:

Oooohhhhh, party foul on the reverse lights, wrong fit, although they said they fit. Guess I'll store those away for some future tail lights. Brake lights are hard to tell if the light is brighter than the Sylvania's I had in. Wasn't patient enough to wait until dark!

Overall, impressive packaging, look very high quality. Will edit post if they take a crap.

LUYED reverse lights: Maybe they fit tails with existing LED reverse lights???

Reverse lights, not happening, wrong fit:

Great build thread brother.

Even the factory LED tails have a halogen reverse bulb, at least on my '14 they did. I bought the ones below to replace them. They fit fine and are very bright. I've had them in since last September, so far so good.

Thanks for the link kad. I still want to find some of these for the Ram, going to get a hold of the seller. They ended up fitting in the Accord and they are bright.

 

[MarshRam]

Alright, got the correct LUYED reverse lights. These are 1600 lumens instead of 1700. Luckily the other set fit the Accord!!

These are much smaller, not as unique looking as the other set, but plenty bright white, no more amber haze. Between these and my cube reverse lights mounted to the hitch, I could probably drive around in reverse all night!

LUYED on left, stock halogen on right.


Night shot, these are just as bright as my cubes!

 

[MarshRam]

And, those LUYED brake lights. Looks like I get to put more tint on my tails!!!!

 

[MarshRam]

Look what came in the mail today. Are those red rock lights? Yep. Sweet!!

First three tests for a no-name brand of $26 rock lights (set of 4) have passed:

All Lights work: Yes
All Lights are red: Yes
All lights are bright: Yes, practically blinded if I stare at them.

If these things can pass the longevity factor, I'm golden!

Think I am going to wire them with a switch and add a line for them to come on when I hit the unlock on the fob. Gonna need that switch so I can see those big boulders of sand grains while I'm offroading on the marsh or driving down the beach at night. Nah, cool factor, it's all about the cool factor (aesthetics). Will probably serve better providing some light to the steps to prevent a potential din shamage incident!!!!

Well, finally after a month I got my refund on the damaged WeatherTechs I received. Never wanted a refund, just wanted them replaced as indicated in all written correspondence and phone calls. I have never had to deal with a damaged item before, but gotta say, between Ebay and the vendor, Driven Industries, it was a huge hassle.

 

[MarshRam]

I'm pleased so far with the LUYED's I put in the tails, so ordered some for the turn signals.

Had the Sylvania in there and they are just not bright enough for people to see them in the day with the black headlight housings.

These LUYED's are 1500 lumens and are no doubt brighter than the Sylvania. I can see them from across my yard. They also put out light head on, which was likely the primary issue with the Sylvania. Hopefully I don't have people throwing their hands up at me anymore.

Comparison: Well, yeah, no comparison! These are much better.
