Finished up the Auxbeam switch panel wiring, and added some Diode Dynamic lumens. Still need to run the wire to the rear for the manual reverse light switch, and I left open spots for front bumper lights and a light bar, both of which will probably wait until I get an aftermarket front bumper. Also next mod I have working is a gmrs radio with the antenna going on the light mounts also.

Which of the pod light brackets did you go with? I am also thinking of getting a set to throw an antenna on.

We are having some hellish winds today, gusts to 72. Went onto the highway and bang and seen the rearview mirror go black. Looks like the wind was perfect angle to mess with it and it broke loose from 2 of the 6 "tabs" that holds the top to the rails. Luckily I got the lifetime warranty, now for the fun of dealing with them.

Got the word today that TruckGear(Line_X) is sending a new cover. Love the lifetime warranty. Over 2 yrs old. Hopefully with this one some ********* won't put something on it and scuff it up at the store

I went with these from SDHQ in AZ, little spendy but they are rock solid and don't use the hood side hinge mount like most of the others, so they sit further back and don't go up and down with the hood.

I added a set of these for the side ditch lights, I had to drill them out for the mounting bolt but it works well.


I also picked up the @NH Overland antenna adapter, I just don't have it put on yet since I haven't picked up the radio.

FireStik makes a super low profile connector . I used these on the Jeep for a tight mounting location. and if you get the 2-pc FireRing, the radio side connector separates so that you can feed it through a smaller opening.

click on the coax, fitting and Misc button on the left. The site is not all that high tech

Nice looking cable, I'm likely going GMRS and Midland makes a similar cable for the NMO mount here:

Changed the shift solenoid and filters on my ‘13 Ram 1500 after getting the p7050 light. Found one of the valve body bolts in the pan when I dropped it, lol. Bought the truck used.

Was able to protect the brand new driveway from 7qts of fluid with a giant tarp successfully. Truck works again!

Oil change yesterday. Dealer changed it before I bought the truck, no idea what was in it but appeared to be a generic, maybe Mopar filter. Now full of PUP with a Royal Purple filter. Just a little messy but not as bad as I was expecting

Installed a muffler off Amazon from Northeastern Performance. The stock exhaust was a MF'r to get off, had to cut all the clamps and the pipes coming out of the muffler to get it all apart. But this new one sounds great, has a nice bark to it but no resonance inside. Can hear it, but it's not obnoxious at all

Also installed some TotalFlow 5" black tips to go with it. I need to readjust the passenger side, it looks like it's dropped a little bit

Did rotors and pads and inspected the rear parking brakes. I'm gonna need to do EVERYTHING on the parking brakes
