In the cab, I was hoping for something like the panel they make for Jeeps, but didn't see anything vehicle specific on their site for a Ram.
I have the Source SE and will be placing in the area just above the radio like the picture:

I like that. Forgive me for being new, but i liked this post as my 15' wk2 has a similar media center lay out. What exactly does that control?

Sorry for the slow response, the screen will control all the auxillary lights, ham radio, cb radio... Pretty much anything add on electrical.

Hey JKxranger, any new pics of the rear bumper? How is your build coming along? So I sold off the power wagon and started a new build with a 2016 Ram 2500 CTD Mega Cab. Loving it! Love to see some more pics from your build

Well I finally got my Spod installed... Now to figure out where the best place is to mount the monitor screen in the cab, not sure if I want it square in the middle of the dash...

Nice looking Ram. Working on mine and getting it setup. How does your fuse box open with SPod on top of it?
It does not open completely but in a pinch all it takes if 4 screws to remove to open it completely.

Got some new shoes and a 1 3/4" level lift and 35" tires a couple of month's ago... Figured I would add the pic.

Looks great! Where do you have your radios mounted, and which cab configuration too since that will most likely determine your location. If you ever need some recommendations, just holler!

I am still trying to figure out where to mount the radios, I have moved the Spod screen from the initial spot due to it covering the DEF fluid indicator. Also what tye of rack is on your truck. I am always looking for recommendations.

Id be interested in that. I have a 14' Ram but its a cummins and not sure how easily i could fabricate that to work... Im well adept at welding, cutting and fabricating.

Sorry I never responded. I didn’t get a notification for some reason. My rack was made by Patton Fabrication. It’s a one off (his old rack) but I’m sure he’d make more
