Well at least now I know I'm under the normal ram group. Makes finding parts much easier. Just ordered some nerf bars off ebay. couldn't beat a set of stainless nerf bars for 95 bucks. Local shop wanted 300 without installing them. Sheesh

Hope they're not as thin as muffler tubing.

I both bought a good set there along with a stainless rear bumper that held up better than the jeep they were mounted too. As well as sold a set my uncle bought for his silverado that ended up being the wrong size but he couldnt return them....someone got a hell of a deal for the 160 bucks they paid for them as they were oem supplier built and heavy as hell....
as I said before theres both good and bad quality stuff on there you just have to know how to research brands or look at feedback...god knows I've overpaid for crap quality stuff elsewhere before...

Yeah, and LMC carries all of the other Sport hardware. But it would be acually cheaper to buy the Sport bumper cover from Mopar than it would be to buy it from LMC.

And all of the aftermarket "Halo" "Projector" headlights will fit a 99-01 Sport model. They are also 2 bulb like the factory headlights, you just have to take 20 mins and re-wire the new headlights to the factory harness.

Thats the reason why you wouldnt want to change the Sport lights out for those aftermarket projectors. They dont throw out the light near as good as the stock ones do. Plus, I would never order headlights (or any body part for that matter) because all LMC sells is Tiawanise junk. They're headlights are the same as you can get on ebay for $120.

not even 20 mins....only three wires on each side....
LMC wanted more than twice what I paid for some of the same brand accessories I bought....I agree they are high.

Well, my pet theroy on the Sport bumper is that because there is no aftermarket replacement part for the Sport bumper cover, so LMC gets them from Mopar and jacks up the price $100.

Yeah, but I'll wire in some relays so I'm not drawing all power off the switch.

If you have a regular Ram and want Sport headlamps, it'll take more than wiring. You have to cut some of your frame near the radiator side supports, to allow room to access the second bulb.
