Best Mods for under $100 (5th Gen Edition)

[Narg]

Actually, it makes no sense to me whatsoever to sell anything that is "LIMITED" as something other than the lowest of the low...

The Top Level trim should be (if you want to use the word, which I don't) should the the UnLimited.

But, I'm only a HS Graduate Hill Billy*. What do I know?

*though I WAS valedictorian of my microscopic class - does that make up for anything?

It's really simple. These are limited special models. Anyone in this bracket of model understand that a "limited" run of anything is more special than the majority run. Though, I do agree if you are intending to say that the name could be better somehow. Like GM "High Country" or Ford .... oh wait, Ford uses "limited" too. Oh well. It used to be "King Ranch" which was nice, then "Platinum" also nice. Oh well.

P.S. Ben & Jerry get it...

Looking for something like this but also covers the door panels, as my dogs love looking outside.

We have a style that has the sides to cover the door panels, works really well to keep our dogs hair contained. Also, my GF ordered it for her Jetta so clearly a much smaller size compared to my ram. However, it works just fine still, look a little stretched out but functions all the same even with 2 dogs back there. Just reminds me of this scene sometimes:

Gotta have things for me are Lund 6” stainless nerf bars, husky liner floor mats, spray in bed liner, bed rug on top of that, AVS in-channel cent visors, and Duraflap mud flaps. I’ve had Duraflap mud flaps on three Ram HD trucks now (2010, 2012, 2019). I intentionally get their wider flaps (still predrilled for factory holes) so they protect the sides of the truck and whatever I’m towing.

My gut tells me those aren't under $100.

Well true. I got the pair for $235 off Amazon with free shipping, so still a screaming deal.

That is a great deal, congrats on that!

I cannot get the brake light link to work. Maybe post the light spec rather than the link? Thanks.

Changed all the interior lighting on MY 19 Bighorn to LED, except for bulb in Lower Glove Box. I have OEM LED (exterior ie, headlights etc) except for Cargo, which I left alone since have full tonneau cover.

For the map lights did you go through the plastic covers or did you pull down the whole unit?

Just walked in from doing mine. I ended up pulling the whole unit down, it's only 2 8mm bolts inside the sunglass holder and 2 tabs in the same area and pops right out. The tabs that hold the bulbs are very flimsy and it required me to hold them from the back as I out the bulb in.

YUP, on the MY 19's, U have to pull down the whole unit. AS Silver post #82 said, U have to take out 2 bolts. WATCH out for the (2) tabs in the center console in the eyeglass area. I had YouTubed it when I did it and there was no mention, so when I pulled down, I broke off dem tabs. And the socket for the Bulbs is like a folded paperclip, some mickey mouse BS. SO when I put my console back up, I used Locktite to make sure it stays where it needs to be. ALAS, live and learn. U can pry them light covers out, but use something not break tabs and BE Careful if U decide to take em out.

Hi all. Another thing I seen that made sense is a cover over the rocker panel where your pant leg rubs as you get out. This cover keeps you from rubbing the paint off and it had a Ram logo. As yet I haven't found them yet.

How does it compare with the OEM one which seems pretty weak.

Vanity lights (in the visors): 28mm

Lower glove box: L-T10 (white)

Just a heads up for those of you changing bulbs. My Lasfit bulbs in the cargo brake like messed up my key fob. This is a known problem so be aware.

To get back on track i installed the auto stop eliminator. It works great. A word of advice if you put it in the box is located under the dash behind the two rolling switches on the left.
