Greetings. :favorites13:

Welcome to my build thread. I purchased my 2013 RAM 1500 Laramie in April 2017. The beast came with the level kit and 33" Atturo Trail Blades.

Here are a few pics the day of purchase. Make sure to stop on by from time to time to check out the updates!

Thanks. :favorites13:

Installed - Rain Deflectors (yes, I smoke even when it's raining :naughty: )

Installed - ViGio 5" Nerf Bars (adding 6" lift soon, definitely gonna need these units)

De-Badged door emblems for the clean look (this task was a pain in the ace)

Installed the FLOWMASTER 50 - Outlaw

wasn't too bad, took about 2 hours (start to finish)

She got herself a deep growl now! I am happy with the results.

Installed 13" OFFROAD Antenna X

Reception is a little fuzzy on AM/FM. Not worried about that... I always have my XM satellite playing anyways. (which uses the shark-fin antenna)

Had a minor issue with the FLOWMASTER last weekend. (it could have been bad)

The Flowmaster unit is a ' direct fit-up ' as per instructions. I torqued the **** out of the clamp fasteners during my install. Well, I ran the beast to San Antonio last week (about 400 miles, round-trip). After the trip I noticed the Flowmaster had slipped from the inlet connection about 2 1/2".


Solution: threw a couple tack welds on the inlet connection and now she is good to go.

I accidentally ordered the wrong ones headlights/taillights.

I returned them, full refund, and now I am looking to order some new ones.

Thanks, brotha! I'll have more MODs on prolly next month.... (hopefully)

The wife decided my extra spending cash will be going toward the Family Vacation and not my RAM..... I reluctantly agreed with her. Wife is happy now.
