Put 140k on the 2012 White Limited I purchased in November of 2012. From day one I was on a mission to de-chrome the truck and replace all the trim with black or white. When it was all said and done I replaced the wheels, front grill, door handles, mirrors, de-badged and other small upgrades along the way. The truck was a great truck and never once had and major repairs. So I decided to trade up for a new model and was going in to get the Rebel but ended up with the Sport model. The main reason was less chrome to replace. :)


Already started replacing parts and now I remember how much I had done and how much money spent along the way. Replaced the wheels today, added the tail light bar tonight and on the hunt for black grill inserts that I like. Also looking for a new tonneau cover I want this time. So much work to do but its all worth it for a great looking Dodge Ram. Uploaded a few photos more to come as we replace stuff.

Nice looking truck. A friend of mine just traded in his white '14 RAM Sport. They are beautiful trucks! He ended up getting a '16 Rebel.

Looking good. Thinking of lifting of level? But than that opens it up for bigger tires, offset, fender flares...never ends really!!!

Yes my 2012 was leveled and thats on my list. Next on the list is changing out the grille inserts then replacing the tonneau. i dont care for the soft cover the dealership installed. Thinking about the Diamondback.
