This is going to be a pretty modest build compared to some of the vehicles I have owned in the past. IMO there just isn't that much I need to do to this truck to get it where I want it. Maybe I'm just getting old LOL. Truck is a 2015 RAM Sport 4x4 Crew Cab with 5.7. Took delivery on 8/13/15

Plans so far:
Tint
de-badge
flip tires to black wall out
remove running boards

Billet shorty antenna
2/4 drop
SRT wheels in chrome 24" and 305/35r24
LED bulb swap
HID heads and fogs
Muffler swap
Spray in bed liner

That's about it, nothing too drastic. Upgraded 9 speaker Alpine stereo with sub sounds pretty good so I think I'm just going to leave that alone. Everything is pretty much paint matched already so I won't have to do that. I'm content with the grille up front the and the dual tips out back so no need to mess with those. I opted for the Sport pkg for this very reason.


Here is how it sat the day I picked it up

had the tires flipped to black wall out

Tint done. 5% over 20% on the front two, 5% over factory tinted glass on the back three. Windshield will be done in 50% once I get my registration sticker on.

Finally got my registration sticker in so I slapped that on and had the windshield tinted. It's just 55% over the entire shield but it serves it's purpose of keeping the sun out of my eyes and it looks pretty good since the sides and back are so dark already.

Got the 24" SRT replicas on last night. Went with chrome finish and 305/35r24 tires. Love the look of them and believe it or not they don't ride much different than the stock 20s. I think the EPS plays a big role in that. Ordering the drop kit the second I sell my stock wheels/tires. Thing looks like a donk right now :roflsquared:

Looks great now , but that drop would set it off just right! You going with a 2/4 drop?

Beautiful man. That's the truck I wanted but couldn't quite afford. Love the look. I'll be following the build.

Ordered the drop this morning! Should get it on this weekend. I can't wait!

Billet shorty antenna is on the way courtesy of awesome forum member "madrock".

Probably do LED bulb swap next. HIDs after that. Then a muffler swap and maybe an electric bypass cutout. Spray in bed liner last. Then I'm just gonna drive this thing and enjoy the heck out of it.

Got the .50cal billet antenna on from Craven Speed. Thanks again to forum member "madrock" for the kind gesture.

(side note- the clouds look trippy in the reflection of my windshield tint.)

How's the reception

Couldn't tell ya. Haven't listened to terrestrial radio since about 2006. I'm always on siriusXM, Pandora, or USB drive. I couldn't even name my local FM stations I bet lol.
