Put in front and rear dash cam.

I did a front dash cam about 3 weeks ago.

Was it difficult to wire to power? Also, what brand/model did you go with?

Not sure how Adrian did his, but I have a 12 volt plug with dual USB outlets in the power port on top of the dash. It starts up whenever the ignition goes into accessory mode & shuts off a minute after the ignition does. If you buy one with a parking mode, you could skip hard wiring it to the truck since the dual USB plugs in the lower dash have constant power. I personally don't want the battery to one day be near it's failure time & the small pull from the camera to sap the last of the juice from it. The cam I use is the Roav S1. It is supposed to be using a great Sony Starvis sensor that is supposed to be better at nighttime recording. I guess I should look at the footage to see if it's really as awesome as I think it is.

I went with Thinkware F200D with hardwire kit. Grabbed acc power / ground at top of console and constant behind radio. Was going to take pictures but it looks all factory, as I wrapped everything in Tessa Tape.

The camera has an option to turn off if battery voltage gets to a set voltage.

Very nice. Same one on for sale on the 5th gen forum?

What tires will you match it up with?

Yes. For now will just swap my stock tires until I figure out what to do with lift/level on my air ride suspension.

Slowly removing chrome to find a good balance. Full detail getting her ready for an 800 mile trip to Gatlinburg. Used Chemical Guys leather conditioner for the first time, and I'm really impressed. Didn't leave the shiny oil look that most wipes do. Also installed my Moe's catch can. Impatiently waiting on the rest of the stuff I orderedto get here.

Looks like I'll get to make a trip to the body shop thanks to somebody's dropped lawnmower blade. Son of a *****.

I pulled the trigger today on a Granite Crystal Laramie. Just got home and thought I’d share the news!!

For those of y’all that care, I installed the MOPAR hard folding tonneau. It is identical to bakflip products. Only issue I have with the AB revision is that the support rods fit a little weird. Since I installed this, I also repurchased the MOPAR cargo divider and decided to give it a shot. For those who don’t remember, the cargo divider did not work with my soft folding tonneau (won’t work with any of them). I can happily say that the cargo divider works with the hard folding cover and both completely changed my bed.

I’ll get photos soon.
