Truck Finally Arriving

[Shifts_And_Grins]

Our truck is in Phoenix and off of the train. Let the good times begin! We no longer have to borrow someone else’s truck to prototype and test fit products. We will start chipping away at our list of products we are going to produce. If you all have suggestions leave a comment and we will add them to the list. We are going to prioritize mainly on customer interest. There are other things that will factor in as well but the more interested you all are on a particular product, the higher it will be on the list. Let us know what you guys want to see built.

Nice that it’s finally arriving! I vote for front lighting that doesn’t require drilling into the bumper.

That is high on the list.

What about behind the bumper?

That is high on the list.

Would be very interesting to see what you guys come up with.

What about behind the bumper?

I’m leaning towards something similar to what Baja designs did with lights that are in front / above the bumper. I’ve reached out to @Shifts_And_Grins about it a while ago. Now that they’ll have their truck soon, I’m looking forward to what they eventually come up with. They make some pretty sweet, well thought out stuff.

What about behind the bumper?

We have brackets for that that work on the 5th Gen Rams. We will be testing those on our TRX when it gets here.

That is for the lower opening in the bumper for a light bar.

I'm so happy for you! Could you post a preview of the big hitter main items on your list? Curious to see what you guys might have in the works....

-Switch Pros mounting solutions
-Brackets for chase lights
-A bolt on (No Drill) front bumper bar for mounting lights
-Bed supports
-Skid plates with built in catalytic converter protection
-Oil cooler relocation brackets
-Shock reservoir relocation brackets
-Alignment lockouts like are popular on Raptors


These are things we have received lots of requests for.

Some of these things are in the works already. Some we need more scans of the truck for to move forward with. We will most likely be releasing most of this list over the next year. We have a few more things going as well that you all will see very soon.

We are very excited to start getting this stuff out to you all.

I’m still hoping for Rock Rails similar to White Knuckle. Real protection with a step.

We’ve built them for the 5th Gen Ram 1500. DOM tubing has close to quadrupled in price. It makes it very hard to offer them at a reasonable price and still make a profit. They aren’t off the table. I have jigs built to reproduce them. Part of the problem too is we TIG weld everything which is more costly but higher quality. I’m just not willing to sacrifice quality to hit a price point. The other issue is installing them can be a bear. I will be building functional steps for my truck and I hope I can come up with something that checks all of the boxes (strong and protects well, is a step, looks great, easy to install, cost effective).

It’s at the dealership. Getting tint and bed liner tomorrow. Taking delivery Thursday. I’ll start by installing what we have for the TRX already and then test our brackets for the 30” light bar. After that, it is time to start testing parts we have in the works, getting designed finalized on others, and getting new ones started. Exciting things to come.

Ok, random musings (and some overboard?) LOL

-Switch Pros mounting solutions (something along drivers side/in front of seat/ next to transmission tunnel and shifter) - easy to reach would be nice). SDHQ just did similar for Gen3 Raptor (PS - I had bad experiences/issues with my Gen1 there (x $33k installs).
-Brackets for chase lights (dust lights/someway to make them theft proof?)
-A bolt on (No Drill) front bumper bar for mounting lights (behind the grill/theft proof (theme!) please
-Bed supports (yes)
-Skid plates with built in catalytic converter protection (yes)
-Oil cooler relocation brackets (yes)
-Shock reservoir relocation brackets (yes)
-Alignment lockouts like are popular on Raptors (yes)
- behind the grill/lower bumper light bar (have a 22" RIGID from my Gen1 that needs a new purpose).
- Plug n' Play (after cutting bumper with template) - integrated flush mount rear bumper lighting (Amber chase?)
- Bed mounted 45d (front facing) mounts for ditch/flood lights (personally don't like A-Pillar set-ups/wind noise)
- Front bed MOLLE panel with ability to mount spare (vertically) - like Icky Concepts (who only cater to HD Rams). Strong enough to support vertical mount Pro Eagle jack too? <- weight on bed floor/so strapped to MOLLE.
- PCI Radio Mount
- Fire Extinguisher Mount (Molle panels in front of driver/passenger seats?).
- Basically integration for runs like

Will you be doing installs (parts/labor) at your shop? <- I'd prefer going to the 'Mother Ship' than DIY right now (my time is very limited with three toddlers!). I'm in N. Phoenix.

On a case by case appointment only basis we will do installs. We will probably expand into more of that in the future but it is limited currently. I love the ideas! Keep them coming. If I only went off of what I wanted and liked it would be boring. Lol I love customer, critic, future customer, haters, lovers that never will buy, you name it……I love the feedback from all angles. Thank you for the suggestions and ideas and I look forward to more.
