  • off road lights
  • switch for running a dvd player while driving (Gotta go to ground? Need more research on this one, and have yet to buy a DVD player)
  • control for a battery isolator
  • TBD
If it is a dvd radio just wire the parking switch to the ground for the radio. That is what I did and it works perfect. To stay on topic I bought a 2000 ram rt intake with TB and injectors for $50

Canada when you put your dvd player in just wire your parking switch wire in with the ground for the radio and it will work great with out the need for a switch. To stay on topic I bought a 2000 intake with injectors and TB for 50 dollars

Seems like it would be a little better if you had a couple blue lights either in, under or over the rear bumper about 1/3 the way in from each side. It just seems a little dark on the rear end.

Blue Beast looks awesome!! As for me I didn't do anything today. Now this weekend Kraiger and I were up in Lima Ohio at the 4 wheel jamboree. Absolute blast. I bought a leveling kit for $90 bucks! and got new headlights. I'll have pics of those in a bit. I'm waiting on the leveling kit to arrive cause it had to be ordered. On the way home trashed a spark plug. and now I have a random misfire on cylinder 7??? Can't figure out where it's comming from. I get the CEL but not all the time.I changed the plug and it still comes back randomly.

New Lights!

Blue corners would look good. But it's illegal to have anything besides clear and amber. Which sucks big time. Oh well.
