Shifts and Grins 30" Light Bar Bracket/Diode Dynamic SS 30 - Ram Rebel

[@stevec9077]

Just went ahead and ordered the brackets. Shout out to Shifts and Grins for coming out with what looks like a quality product and not price gouging the community! Thank you for everything you do for the Ram community, Water Fowler!

[@WaterFowler41]

Trying to leave the Ram community in better shape one KZbin video at a time.

[@carlmyman]

Funny how it takes someone dedicated to their brand of truck to finally get someone to realize that we don't want 20" light bars, we want bigger! I wouldn't do the 20", way too small. Glad you took your time & found someone to build a quality part at a fair price. Yes, I just ordered mine, lol. Thanks again for your commitment to the 5th gen Ram.

[@WaterFowler41]

Don’t get me started on the lack of bumpers for 5th gen rebels…

[@UaeDelta]

Got the flood ones, I need more light dispersion :P but man, cant wait to install it this week. Good stuff as always bro.

[@joseolmedo3185]

I just finished installing the 30s light bar just like you man and thanks for the info thank you for engineering brackets awesome job. And I used Aux beam 8 gauge

[@KanoDTG]

Bought both the light bar and the mounts thank you sir.

[@minoshsivanesan9343]

How did u wire the light bar and be able to turn it on inside the cab? Also I saw u using a Bluetooth controller? How did u set this up?

[@WaterFowler41]

I used to have a Trigger 4 switch panel but now I have the AUXBEAM RGB panel. I have videos on both. I like the AUXBEAM much better. More features but requires you to run a wire.

[@stevebarton9469]

Just saw your video! Will this brackets and light application work on a 2023 rebel diesel

[@WaterFowler41]

I would double check with the folks at shifts and grins im not sure and I don’t want to steer you wrong

[@mdavidwagner]

Kind of hard to tell. Is that light bar a single row or dual row? If single row do you think a dual row would fit? Thanks.

[@WaterFowler41]

A test fitted the bracket with a dual row but yes the light in this video is a single row (of much higher quality than the double row I used for test fitting).

[@twinkieville2256]

Hey that’s slick! I didn’t even realize you had a light bar in there. I just worked on your truck at discount

[@WaterFowler41]

Should’ve messed with the switches more!!! Thanks for taking care of the truck!

[@mwlangdell]

Hey, awesome video. I have a 2022 Ram 1500 Laramie and it has the solid lower grill panel and need the perforated one but when I click on the link you have in your video it says page not found. Could you help me out with a part number? I have tried eBay but it comes up with the solid one . Thanks Martin

[@WaterFowler41]

Awesome, how'd they work out for you?

[@kylesherman7545]

I’m sorry if you answered this but will the shifts and grins bracket work with other light bars such as the Ruff country? I just want to triple check before I spend the money on the 30 inch as opposed to the 20 inch rough country also great video thank you.

[@WaterFowler41]

You’ll have to compare the dd 30” light bar to the other light bars. If that are the same width they should fit.

[@chrissmith3816]

Will this fit a 30” only or a 32” will fit since the bracket has a slot

[@WaterFowler41]

There’s some play so a 32” may fit as well

[@caconservative2889]

Do you think the the Flood lenses on Combo variant would get lost behind the sensors and grill ? On the fence if the full driving light would be better to push more light out through the grill. Thanks

[@WaterFowler41]

Yes I think your concerns valid. The driving pattern in all dd lights is amazing. It’s seriously the most useful light pattern out there

[@jasondegelleke4575]

How do you remove the parking brake sensor I see you removed it but didn't say how

[@WaterFowler41]

I cover that in my rough country bracket video. It’s a ton of clips on top and bottom

[@Barrettzzz]

There just doesn’t seem like enough room to reach in and Allen wrench it. I got one side in by getting my hand over the light bar. But once I work on the other side the light bar is center and there is not enough room to wrap your hand up and behind. Is there a way to remove the mesh grill? That way I can work on it from the front?

[@WaterFowler41]

The mesh can be unbolted I believe

[@stevebarton9469]

Will this light bar system work on a 2023 rebel 2500 diesel?

[@WaterFowler41]

I don't know, you'll have to check with S&G

[@sultandaoud]

Hey man, love your videos, do you think it effects the light quality being behind the grill?

[@WaterFowler41]

It does impact the light output particularly the light spread. Not a deal breaker but something to consider.

[@sultandaoud]

@@WaterFowler41 got it, thanks for the reply

[@MonkeyBrainSushi]

Very nice! I assuming the brackets work on a 2021 ram 1500 lone star edition? How about the mess grill…is that exclusively for the rebel?

[@WaterFowler41]

Nope it fits other 5th gen rams as well. These brackets should fit the lone star too

[@barryward4022]

How did you wire up the backlight on these? looking to do something similar for both ditch and reverse lights. thanks!

[@WaterFowler41]

I have a drl relay video showing how I wired them, here you go! kzbin.info/www/bejne/amnPanlvpNmnbbs

[@barryward4022]

@@WaterFowler41 awesome, thanks!

[@jacobweinberger9566]

What is the part number for the grill? What light bracket do you have for the pods?

[@WaterFowler41]

There’s a direct link for the grill in the videos description. The pods are mounted on Zroadz hood hinge brackets.

[@altf13wa]

Love your videos!

[@WaterFowler41]

Love your comments! Lol thanks!

[@mohammadvadiee5647]

Just curious if anyone can give a comparison to the M&R grill (40") light bar i was considering?? As it's wider and also has the option of the amber DRL/white light as well

[@WaterFowler41]

I’m in a ton of Ram groups and rarely see anyone posting about that brand other than the guy who owns the company so not sure there’s any sort of real world comparisons out there

[@stevec9077]

Great post! Do you think that if using the light for an extended period of time may heat the parking sensor harness and melt it?

[@WaterFowler41]

Nope I don’t think that’s an issue.

[@jwinebrenner78]

Quick question. As far as the mesh area. I saw a video somewhere that you can remove that hunk of plastic from behind the mesh and be fine with doing a 30 inch light bar. Think there will be enough space ?

[@WaterFowler41]

Yes the mesh grills are two piece, if you want my original light bar install video I show you unclip that part from the front mesh

[@jwinebrenner78]

@@WaterFowler41 cool. That means I save some cash and rip it out then. Thanks bud! Going to set the trigger up this weekend and have everything ready for when I order lights. Don't have a garage. Which sucks. But I make do. Tarps are nice. Lol

[@robertmoore6646]

Will these brackets fit a 2024 ram TRX the same? \

[@WaterFowler41]

Unlikely but I’d check with shifts and grins

[@tfitz44]

Nice work!

[@timdiekman5699]

Thanks for the video. I bought everything and am ready to install. Do you have a video that shows how to remove the box behind the grill?

[@WaterFowler41]

Yeah I do, it’s in my rough country light bracket video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n56sqJ6deq2asNk

@@WaterFowler41 Thank you!

[@basatna]

Do this light bar create a heat that might burn the sensor wires?

[@WaterFowler41]

I’ve had no issues with any of the light bars I’ve ran

[@mattnorris139]

Would this work on a 2017 Ram Rebel?

[@WaterFowler41]

Not that I know of

[@CarlosDiaz-kt4sb]

I have a 2021 ram rebel, it has that front vents behind the grill, will the light bar still fit??

[@WaterFowler41]

I’m not sure man, I don’t have them but my guess is no

[@rpena76]

Is your truck the Eco Diesel? If so the inter cooler might be in the way.

[@CarlosDiaz-kt4sb]

@@rpena76 yes I have the ecodiesel

[@rpena76]

@@CarlosDiaz-kt4sb I don't think it will fit due to the intercooler. But you might want to check in KZbin for any other options

[@camtomm843]

would this work for a 2021 ram classic warlock?

[@WaterFowler41]

Doubtful, it’s a different front end set up

[@bryanv2983]

Can i use a 40 inch light bar with this kit?

[@WaterFowler41]

I don’t think so

[@michaelholmes2846]

Any idea if this will work with ecoDiesel?

[@WaterFowler41]

I don’t think so, the intercooler gets in the way

@@WaterFowler41 Thanks, that's what I was afraid of.

[@jwinebrenner78]

How hard is it to switch out that mess area?

[@WaterFowler41]

A bunch of 10mm bolts

[@dennisstahl7621]

So for only about $600 I too can have a 30 inch light bar partially obstructed by my new $50 grill?? Hum that’s out of my realm. I appreciate the video though.

[@WaterFowler41]

$600?

[@jwinebrenner78]

Yea I am still confused about the $600 as well.

[@dennisstahl7621]

I apologize I am not sure how I came up with $600 either? I'm an idiot. $410 sounds way better than $600 lol That is cool you worked with the guys to design a bracket for the market. I went and gave it a thumbs up.

[@dennisstahl7621]

Hey the reason I stopped back was because I was looking to see if you did any headlight bulb mods yet? (I looked through your play list it doesn't look like it.) Projector headlight bulb replacement switching to HD&Led seems like it can be a slippery road with challenges and I was wondering you your researched it yet? I enjoy your videos thank you.
