I've had my 2015 Outdoorsman about 2 weeks now. I knew from the get go that the stock tires weren't gonna cut it for me, so I had the dealer trade them for BFG KO2's. Stock size, but much more truck like.

Picked up a bunch of great info here and used that to make some small mods. Added the cabin air filter. Debadged (the chrome Ram 1500 and Outdoorsman are totally gone as well as the dealers logo) and re-badged. I like the HEMI badge, it just needed to be in black. Also raised it a little higher on the fender. Swapped the front and rear Ram heads for black. Thanks to the forum for having tutorials on getting those off.

I had a local shop put a Access cover on, but they botched the install. I had them remove it, refund me and I'll do it myself. Was trying to save some time, lesson learned. I've got plenty of things I'd eventually like to do with it, but will have to space them out given the budget.

I don't think that new members can create threads until they've made 50 or so posts or maybe have been a member a certain length of time. If you go out to the main forum page and go down to "for sale" they have some rules posted that should explain the requirements.

I think I like it more than the solid black I was originally looking to buy. Dark, but with a little break up to the scheme.

How much heavier are the bfg's than stock and what mpgs are you seeing? I am hoping to get those tires but wanted to wear out the stock good years first as they have little to no resale value.

Not sure how much heavier they are and the truck is brand new so I don't really have any history on the gas mileage to make a judgement. I got lucky that the dealer was willing to swap them out when I purchased them. I really dislike the look of the wranglers that come stock.

Those are some good looking Hemi badges. Where did you get them if you don't mind me asking?

I got them at quirkparts through their ebay store.

Got the tonneau cover installed late Friday afternoon. It's an Access Lorado. Installation isn't complicated, but it does take awhile since you have to remove the Ram rails to install the clamps. Works great with the RamBoxes.
