Congratulations on your new ride Eddy! I like your model Dodge :Wow1:better than any of the newer ones. I look forward to see how your build goes. If you make your new Dodge anything like your Jeep, it will certainly be a sweet ride!:)

Bushwacker flares are fairly simple to install..... I had them color matched by paint code a week or so back.... they look a little
brighter than the rest of the truck.... I guess I will try and bleach the paint out and get it a little brighter on the body :)

Also had a Linex Spray in done..I love the way it looks when its fresh .... Had them go deep over the
top rail as I have future plans for my roof rack and canopy rack.....

I wanted something a little different in the tire and wheel department. I have had SOOOOOO many sets of BFG Mud Terrains.....
I read an Australian Mag called 4WheelDriveAction.... they run super comprehensive tests on products..... The Cooper Muds came out WAYYY on top....plus
they are supposed to be fairly quiet!! I was super impressed on the noise level on the maiden voyage today. They are about as noisy as a BFG All Terrain!!! Lets see
how they work and wear :) These are 315/75/16's 35" Tall

Bought some Cragar Soft 8's off of Summitt..... Factory Dodge Center Caps fit.... I think they look pretty good!!

Nice truck. I got rid of two of my Jeeps for my Ram.
Click to expand...

I look at pic's of my Jeep...and go into a melancholy state of mind :confused: Glad I made the switch,,,,but lot's of bugs to iron out before
I can make it my own. The truck is just another Ram with a lift and Big Tires.... I plan to change all that by making it my signature Truck.

Sorting out all the driveline right now.... then onto the exterior.....ie Canopy, Racks, Lighting etc,

Thanks for the Kudo's
Cheers
