installed lasfit stealth hood lock. didnt like the keyed hood latches i bought. having an extra key and all the ones available look or feel cheap. this solves all my problems.
Why don't you just do tire rotations on a schedule to ensure even wear on all 5 tires?I put the spare tire on the right front. I have a long road trip coming up, sometimes I go around and measure tread depth, the tire with the least tread gets to live on the spare for awhile.
I did an experiment in the process. I only have Rubicon tires but they are heavy enough, I don't need to be picking them up that high unless I really have to. So I put a hook in the ceiling of my garage screwed into a ceiling joist, then I used a cable comealong and a piece of nylon recovery strap to pick up the tire off of the rear tire carrier and lowered it to the ground. Then I picked up the other tire and put it back on the carrier. It is a bit fiddly and takes some time, but I didn't have to pick it up.
I get too consumed by work duties and I'm not disciplined enough to keep mileage records for tire rotation purposes. I bought my tires used, with 10k miles on 4 of them and no miles on the spare. I was hoping that if I left that one on the ground and rotated the other 3 I could even out the wear and collectively they would all last a few thousand miles more but I haven't been doing it well enough.Why don't you just do tire rotations on a schedule to ensure even wear on all 5 tires?
Oddly enough, manhandling the spare is easier for me than trying to lift a tire a few inches onto a hub that spins. Both still suck with 100 lb + tires though. Lol

I'm not bending over to put that heavy tire on the hub either. I jacked the vehicle up just to the point where the tire cleared the pavement. I took off that tire then rolled the other one mostly in position where if I tilted it over it would be on the lugs. I had to reposition just a bit to get all 5 to line up then I pushed the bottom of the tire over an inch or two and I could get the tire on and start the lug nuts. Doing this on the side of the road would not be as easy.
Do you happen to have pics of the difference in beam pattern?Well it's done ..... I installed a set of @Diode Dynamics SS3 Pro Type M Kit White SAE Fog's.
I waited almost 4 years and 66,000 miles to do this. What was I thinking... I should have done this during the first few weeks of ownership. What a major difference in lighting! AND... they look better then stock LED fogs.
Install was easy and would be so for most guys or gals.
The build quality of the lights is top notch which is typical of a Diode Dynamics offering.
The install was easy. As for the aiming.... Well, when I adjusted so the SS3 fit flush against the inner bumper plastic the end result was the adjustment was on the money.

No, I did not take pics. Diode Dynamic has videos and pics out there that are far better then I could ever do..Do you happen to have pics of the difference in beam pattern?
That implies that they might not be street legal, right?No, I did not take pics. Diode Dynamic has videos and pics out there that are far better then I could ever do..
I can tell you the output from the SS3 Pro's is way way more then the factory LED fogs.
No might about it. The SS3 Pro is street legal or I would not have installed.That implies that they might not be street legal, right?

I ran those on my previous 2018 RAM 4500 Cab & Chassis.....and transferred them over to my current 2022 RAM 5500 Cab & Chassis. They’re great lights......and staff at @Diode Dynamics was great in respect to getting me the correct brackets and wiring adaptors for my new 5500.Well it's done .....
