New "shop" truck, so....lets start this build thread!
Truck details:
2016 Ram 1500 Bighorn 4x4
5.7L Hemi
3.21 (eh) with LSD
Full console, NAV, heated seats......I think thats it.
Purchased on 3/20/2017 (leftover 16, gotta love the deals) with ~ 250 miles on her (was a dealer trade).
Stock photo:
The original intent was to purchase the truck simply to use as a test mule for lighting. As we all know.....the 15+ trucks are ****** with the updates that where made in the computer system. The truck was picked up from the dealer and driven directly to Diode Dynamics for testing. Picked her up on 3/31 to bring home for a few modifications.
Figured I'd do a few things......"the essentials", so I called Matt from Moe's and ordered up a few things:
Bak Revolver X2 Tonneau Cover
Bedrug Mat & Tailgate Mat
Mufflex Delete Pipe
Moe's 5" Exhaust tips
Got the mats and tonneau installed Friday evening:
Saturday morning, got up and decided to play with the exhaust......this damn thing had to go:
Tips where installed as well, and a short video when I fired her up the first time

Debadged......(pics later)
While out in the garage......I installed the Kicker PRAMCQ13 (KICKER | PRAMCQ13). This was a bit fun...already being a smidge sore from crawling around under the truck on concrete.....and contorting a bit to put the 4.1 amp under the dash.....fun. But....got it in, and it sounds pretty damn good! I'm used to 2 subs, 1000w+ amps.....just didn't want to get that crazy on this one. This Kicker setup fits the needs, and - 100% pnp. Hard to beat that!
