Ram

One disadvantage of tinting your windows is when you back up its harder to see with the stock back-up lights. This can be solved by a set of 55w lights bolted to the rear bumper. Only problem is 55w square lights bolted to the rear bumper looks like crap. I always hated the way it looks when you bolt square driving lights to the back bumper. They can scrape the ground when off-roading and the wires can catch on brush and twigs. For years I just gave up on the idea of more rear light. Enter the White-Knight Hitch Light. Two 55w bright white lights molded around your trailer hitch mount giving off 160,000 candle power.

These are wired to the trailer hitch wiring so it was fairly easy to install. Took about 10 mins to bolt on and about 30 mins to solder the wires and I shrink wrapped each connection to keep water out.

These two lights are tucked under the bumper and the trailer hitch bolt should ground out on any terrain if I bottom the truck out. I plan on a 5 and a half inch next summer. Ground cleance shouldn't be a problem.

My new neighbor happens to work for a Tool and Die shop. He agreed to make me a custom lightbar rack for the Ram. I had mounted the lights to the bumper in the past but the clearance was to tight. Every time I opened the hood it hit the back of the lights and I always had to readjust the lights. This new set up allows me to run four of the LightForce lights in the future. And best of all now they stay set to where I aim them. Heres a few pictures of how he made it.

My new lightbar started as one solid piece of stock. He then lathed it down to the size you see here. This machine is going to mill out flat lighttabs for me to mount the lights on.

Here we have a nice flat tab on the round bar to mount the lights on. This metal will never rust and the bar weighs over 50 pounds. Amazing.
