Got some work done on the bumper and hitch. My friend is helping me with his shop and welding skills. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got the steel bent up for my bumper. Finished the 3rd gen brake swap. Now I have dual piston calipers and rotors are 1.25" bigger than my 1997 brakes. I'm very impressed with this mod, $300 in parts, everything bolted on in less than 2 hours. Got my exhaust finished up. The muffler/stack...

I started working on some bumper templates tonight. I don't know when I will actually buy steel and get busy, but it's fun to plan. And here is a truck I'm in love with, and taking some ques from. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Little progress today. Got the bed mounted and I'm super excited about how it looks. All the proportions are correct, a utility bed can make or break the appearance of the truck. Time to start planning and building the bumper. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok, I got this project buttoned up today. I was able to use the jeep cherokee straps and didn't have to make any brackets. Just drilled holes. Plenty of ground clearance. I didn't have to use a tee as kosten showed. On my 97 truck there is an unused port on the fuel basket. It just goes into...

Jkosten I didn't know fass makes one. Thanks. And yes to the transfer pump setup I thought long and hard about doing a shackle flip, but because I'm going to be at or over gvw with this thing loaded, I decided against it. Then add towing 7-10k lbs I really like how your truck is set up. It...

So I got my add a leaf today. I planned to build my own leaf pack, but this was the path of least resistance, $94. Once I get the new bed on and loaded I will figure out how to fine tune it. So I may have screwed up on the aux tank search. I called my local junkyard and they said "$47 for a...

Jkosten thanks for the help. The previous owner had a receipt for the KDP when I bought the truck. No GSK yet, on my list, but power isn't a priority right now. I don't want to put any more stress on the trans before our long trip. I have not played with the pump timing. I know it's...

So with all this new found room, I wanted a water tank. So I've got 5' of 6" PVC which comes out to just over 7 gallons. I used one of the old exhaust hangers and then welded the other hanger solid. I added another cross member for the tank and left provisions to mount a future gas tank skid...

Well I have decided to ditch the bed in favor of an 8' long window height utility bed I acquired. We bought a 27' travel trailer and we are planning a 4000 mile road trip this spring. So on my long to-do list is make the truck quiet My truck had a 4" down pipe off the turbo, then 5" to...

No fair, you can't just post that pic with no context! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Trying to keep cost down (read: I'm broke) I dug through my growing pile of front end parts, ran the part numbers, and sure enough I already had the pitman arm I needed from a 2000+ truck. While waiting for UPS to bring my new tie rod ($294 shipped!) I found out that dodge changed the u-joint...

I just put 5 years on a set of Bosch Icons on my wife's jeep. We loved them. We just bought a new set last week. And with a good coat of RainX it's like magic. The jeep is parked outside all year long in CA heat. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

here you can see my truck and my wife running the Rigids with Amber filters as running lights on the trail. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My advice is mount them as high as possible. I have a 20" combo China bar on the top of my prerunner bumper (about 48" high) it is a great flood light, but I find it very hard on my eyes when doing highway speed. I much prefer my hella 700s when driving at 70mph on 2 lane highways. The LED bar...

I see the "snow chief group" for $480, its the offroad tires, transfer case skid plate, and cab marker lights. that sounds Expo worthy :) on my cab/chassis, i ordered the back up camera for $395. it came coiled up ready to install where ever. if your putting a big camper on the back i would...

i assume you have spent time on the Ram website "building" your truck? i just custom ordered a 2014 3500 work truck. Take your time and read over the options slowly. the sales man probably wont know much about specific options. just by familiarizing myself on the web page for a few hours i knew...

Thanks for the advice on the bump steer. I plan on updating my trac bar soon, but I need to look at how the aftermarket ones mount. I know they fix a few problems, but I don't remember them talking specifically about lowering the pivot. Maybe I will just build my own Sent from my iPhone using...
