I tried combining the two sets of wires and that just made my led amber/white bulbs quick flash, even with built-in resistors. I'm sure there's a way to wire in a resistor to the second set of wires to get rid of the one bulb, but I'm no electric engineer. I guess I just gained 2 new engine lights🤣🤣🤣

    I don't know if you just ran the power cable from the car battery to the extra battery that you are installing. But a 150 amp fuse located between 5 and 10 inches from the main car battery would be recommended to protect your vehicle from catching fire if something ever happens to the cable. I was a car audio installer for years and I always used a fuse between the main battery and the fuse block for the amplifiers and other electronics. In my 1994 Dakota I had a Stinger lithium battery with a battery isolator to run my amps off of so my main battery would still start the car if I was not starting the truck for a while and.listening to music. Also fuse the extra battery when running your power wire to your auxiliary items like your refrigerator that run off 12 volts. I ran the correct amperage fuse to all my amplifiers, crossovers and EQs. Just to be safe so I didn't fry any equipment or start a fire if for some reason the cable came unhooked.

    • @kevinnieffenegger
      @kevinnieffenegger Před 4 měsíci

      Thanks for the advise, much appreciated! In part 3, I add fuses for both batteries like you said, however, they're only 80amp. I'll get some 150amps, too be on the safe side. Thanks again.

    Been looking for skid plate ideas for my 4th gen ram 1500, so I've been watching a lot of videos. This one has definitely inspired me to go ahead and build one, simply because I have the exact same bumper, and have to agree, there is something missing under/behind it with the space. I am also with you with the holes you cut, not really sure if I like it or not, it doesn't look bad, but there's just something not quite right, maybe if the were a little smaller, not sure, but it does look good, really like the side filler pieces, makes it look finished.

    Enjoyed the video, just did install the same front bumper to replace a destroyed front OEM bumper and other stuff from a 75 mph deer hit. Listed on amazon as a TIOYAR front bumper for my 2016 F250 but looks identical in assembly and parts. Tried to do a short video but only posted pics on their review section. The wiring for the LED lights worked out to the existing harness plug connection . Biggest issue was using a 12000 Badlands ZXR winch and needed about a 1/8" more clearance for the winch plate to install the winch. Was able to jack up the plate to enough to squeeze in the 12000 ZXR. Maybe these manufacture folks will see this and make just a bit more room for winches.
