I actually took the truck in today to get TPMS sensors added to the wheels, rebalance and rotate. I am rotating tires about every 2500 miles (I know its probably overkill). I have run out 5,126 miles on the tires and they are showing a consistent 3/32 of ware on the fronts and 2/32 on the...

I think you can expect upgraded shocks valved specifically for factory coil springs (I realize there are a lot of factory spring rates, but in all actuality, the difference in rates is quite minimal), the shocks should have adjustable dampening, remote resi, diesel and gas specific valving and...

Not a lot done to the truck this week. I did manage to order most of my recovery gear yesterday and today. 1. PullPal 16,000. This is their "new" model for vehicles up to 12K. 2. WARN Heavy Duty Recovery kit 97570 3. 2 Max Trax 4. Factor 55 Ultra Hook ( for the front 16.5Ti ) 5. WARN...

I really think I could run a 42 or a 43 so long as it was narrow. A 40 x15 on a 12 inch wheel with 4.5 inches of backspacing has so much scrub radius that it is about as big as you can go. However, my tires are only about 11.5 inches wide on a 9.5 inch wide wheel with 4.5 inches of backspace...

Yeah, I have been waiting to install the inner fender liners until I am finished with the "area" to make accessing easier. I finished the rear inner fender wells 2 days ago after I finalized the onboard air system and the lines to the rear. It really makes things easier to not have to remove...

Well, 8 hours later and the 16.5 TI and AEV bumper are installed. I suppose if I was not doing it by myself it would have gone a lot faster. I am going to have to build a set of custom brackets for the JW Speaker lights that fit in the bumper, I have them mounted now but they sit back about 3...

I will take that bit of wisdom and run with it, not literally though, the winch weighs close to 135 pounds and personally, those days are over for me lololol... Im headed up to the shop in about 10 minutes to pull the factory bumper and start to install the new Winch and AEV bumper ... We will...

I got a lot done today, and Im hopeful I can get the front bumper and WARN 16.5 TI installed in the morning, along with two of the driving lights. Monday will be front inner fender liners and some wiring (fingers crossed).

My light package as of today.... "all JW speaker products". 5 - TS 300IV / Driving Beam (wide angle) 4 - TS 4000 / Driving Beam (wide angle) 6 - Model 526 / Trapezoid Beam Pattern The TS 300IV's will be mounted to the bottom of the bed rack and will be used to illuminate around the...

Truck is in the shop today, finished up the rear inner fender wells from AEV and Im working on the fronts. My new WARN 16.5 TI was supposed to be delivered yesterday but was not (thank you FED-EX). Sooooo, Ill be driving back up to the shop tomorrow to finish the PSC Ram assist system and...

I actually joined the first time for the first gulf war, got out in 1994 and returned after 9/11. lolol Im just an enlisted guy. I appreciate the "thank You" from everyone, I strongly believe we each have our place, this was mine, I had my day and it done. I am grateful for the men and...

I know, right... Out before I'm 50, its going to feel great. I'm retiring from the Army, probably going to finish my education, start teaching Archeology or History at a collage level and require students to call me "Dr. Jones" lolol... but really, I have an opportunity to teach off road...

I actually don't have a list yet. I am retiring at the end of this year ( old age of 47) and I should have plenty of time to do what I want. I would like to take some photography classes and get some gear though (as a hobby only). Im a big fan of the mountains, but mostly I just like the...

I agree. I spoke to 3 different people from within the industry who are "experts" were tires are concerned. Consensus was, if Im not towing heavy then 10% over is a "very" safe speed. Tire Temperature is the biggest factor next to sustained speed. The tires should in theory maintain 75-80...

I will have to look at space in the cab, the space under the rear seat is already taken. I totally agree when it comes to medical training and understanding your limits as well as the Legal ramifications of actually helping someone should the circumstances necessitate it. I strongly believe...

I really like the Continentals. I bought them understanding their limitations. I absolutely think if a person wants to have a daily driver that looks good but you fancy driving 90 mph on the interstate, well, deff. the wrong tire to have. A few things I have observed now that I put 3200...

No question about that, my 1660 with my tools in it easily weighs 150 pounds. I like the idea of having locks on each case with a common key for sure. looking at the bed, I think I will need to put the cases in and move them around to see how to best use the space. I also agree, the cases...

I took a long hard look at bed slides. Actually, I was going to have a full drawer system built, but the overall cost was absolutely stupid. I know there are several "low cost" options for pull out bed drawer systems, but I'm not into molded plastic unless its a cooler, Pelican case, or a...

I purchased 6 Pelecan 1660 cases ( 31.59 x 22.99 x 19.48" ) this week. I am going to use them for Bed storage. They clear the BakFlip X2 on the truck by about 1/2 inch (tight fit). They do have handles and rollers, but the real question in my mind is how to secure them to the truck. I don't...

Welcome. Another RAM build, gotta love it. Keep the updates coming.
