Mbarclay's Laramie build

Mbarclay · May 24, 2016

Figured I would start one of these for my new truck. I'm planning on actually keeping this one longer than my past few that I've only had a year or 2.

2015 1500 crew Laramie loaded
Leather
Sunroof
Limited slip
Navigation
Spray bed liner
Tow mirrors
Trailer brake control
3.21's is the only thing I wish was different but the highway mpg is awesome. I've seen 23 mpg a few times.

So far I've added:
Leveled 2.5" struts
Cabin air filter
Stubby antenna
20%front tint
Access Vanish tonneau
Weathertechs
Factory molded fender flares
Debadged

Now that spring is here I'll be ordering some parts it will be a slow but steady build. Getting steps and bilstein level soon

Here she is

It's a good looking truck but man that's alot of chrome. Lol are you going to stay chrome, color match, or black it out?

Staying with the chrome. Trying something new for me lol. My last 3 trucks have been sports. Certainly not going to add any chrome. Thought about color matching the headlights and grill surround but not sure if I'll do either. Most days I like all the chrome as it is now

Absolutely not lol after my last truck I hate black.

I made the same mistake by buying a black truck lol. My other option was white or silver, I should have got one of those

My 2008 was white. Loved the white seems I can never find one when I'm looking since. Someday I'll have white again...... Really like this silver one though. Really easy to keep clean. And the chrome cleans up easier than paint especially the bugs on the front.

This was a cheap one. Added a cabin air filter

Leveled

Black steps on a few months ago.

Now I'm looking at some good winter tires for my stock wheels. Narrowed it down to either bfg at ko2 or Goodyear duratrac in the stock size don't want wide tires in the snow.

Also starting to get parts together to delete the chrome off my Laramie. Getting a sport grill with black inserts and a non chrome steel front and rear bumpers like I have now to have painted silver. Also getting black ram head badges for the grill and tail gate. Should look a lot different when everything is color matched. Only chrome left will be headlights, mirrors and handles. And in the winter the stock wheel. Have black Xd wheels for the summer

Never been a fan of the chrome but yours looks pretty nice.

Maybe it's the color.

I had 3 sports before this truck I've always hated chrome. Honestly not sure what I was thinking buying this truck a year ago. Well it was the Laramie interior I guess lol..... keep seeing deals on the 16's makes me want to trade for a rebel or sport package 2500. I think getting painted bumpers for mine will be cheaper lol
