I was wondering if anyone knew of any stock-looking aftermarket bumpers for the ram that had about a 4" opening for fog lights. Also, preferably chrome so as to match my rear bumper.


Also, my 01 slt laramie has the over-head console, but not the display thing with the temp, mpg, ect... My dad's old grand cherokee had it, and I just loved it. So my question is, can I buy this unit, and hook it up? Like, are the wires there to do so? Or would this be a fairly complex install?

 

Well, I did a little reading in the 01 service manual about the overhead display, and was reading about the temperature sensor. It said it was on the underside of the hood mounted on a seperate bracket, on the hood latch striker. So this morning I waded through the 1' of snow we got last night to go see, and to my dissapointment, it's not there. So I guess it's not wired up for it, but it may still be wired so I could get the mpg, till empty, compass, ect... But if I want the temp, it looks like I'll have to wire up my own sensor.

like . . . check this out. you can also do a search for overhead console and get a whole lot of info. it appears that these trucks are somewhat prewired and you can buy the harness for it. i dont know how the fuel mileage part works. if you find any info and install it post it alot of people would like to know

 

Oh, Ok, did not see that. I'm looking for just the computer, not the console, so I guess that's why it didn't turn up in my search results. Thanks.

 

The stock, non-sport bumper has 4" fog light holes right out of the factory. PIAA makes an adapter for our bumper to fit their 510 series foglights in the bumper, if you're looking to do something like that. If you're just looking for a factory replacement bumper, ebay has a ton, if you can weed through all the other junk.

 

Thanks, but I should've mentioned that I need it to be able to accept a 4" dia light that has a depth of about 4.5" which the stock bumper cannot handle w/o cutting out the plastic insert thing, which I suppose I could do, but if I could find an aftermarket bumper that would look better, then great.
