My 2011 Ram 1500 Outdoorsman

A little gallery of my truck growing into what it is now.

Decided to get rid of the Outdoorsman stickers, debadged 80% of the chrome, plastidipped my rear emblem, and ram 1500 badging. Painted my front emblem. Painted my boring 17" alloy rims. Then decided, hey these chrome side steps need fixing. So rhino lined those. I don't have any pictures of the lights, interior/exterior. Interior is full LED swap, and Sylvania zxe headlights. Nothing spectacular but brighter than what I had standard. Also bought a set of General Grabber at2's. As far as performance goes I went with a hi flow cat, MBRP catback single exit. I have a K&N CAI 63 series I believe.

Just started finishing my motor shroud project, I'll update later when it's all back together

And now that's all done

Nice DIY mods! What paint did you use on the engine cover?

Sorry for late reply

Washed shroud, scuffed with medium grit sand paper, hit with self etching primer, 2 coats, layed down high temperature orange engine paint (acrylic) not sure that was entirely needed. You can probably use latex and be fine.. then I taped over the letters with 3" painters tape, used a utility knife to cut tape close as I could to flush with the top of the letters. Takes patience. Then taped off the center part on the back tried to cut as clean of a line as I could. Primed over all the orange again, I had some goofy high spots from the orange I wanted to hide. By the way don't over spray, I was impatient and tried one coating the orange. Bad idea... so back to the painting, the black layed out pretty well. The two colors definitely stand out. I personally enjoy the DIY mods, it makes for a healthy truck relationship haha.

Truck is looking good. I really like what you did with the shroud! I just might have to do the same to mine!
