Yeah I have looked into their stuff and I like their idea but I am going to look for custom made things for more of a one of a kind look. I am excited to see what my truck will look like come another year.

why not build a badass ram runner then. Those fenders that they use allow for extra tire clearnce also.

well if thats the case swap in some 2.5 ton rockwell with about 30" of lift and some tractor tires. I think you will be the first 4th gen like that.:killer:

On a serious note what about a one piece front clip that flips forward exposing a stroked out hemi.:********:

I'm not tracking where your talking about. I would like to get a supercharger once a tuner is out for my year.

That would be sweet but I am worried that with the front pre-runner bumper with the attached off-road driving lights get in the way with the hood opening that way?

I really like that though. Is there one out that would fit my Ram?

no its got to be custom made. You could do it with the stock metal fenders but that would be really heavy. you want fiberglass hood and fenders and just mold them together.

take this bumper for example just dont do the bar ontop and either add lights behind the grille or add one of the ridgid industries led light bars right below the top bar of the bumper.

That looks pretty cool. I wish I could get one with a winch and one that would house my factory fog lights. I have a few ideas for front bumpers that I am thinking about and the one you listed is one of them.

As far as the Ram-runner fenders route goes I would do the fiberglass bumpers to lighted the truck up some.

Yeah I watched that episode the other night. Yeah I like the idea but on a truck I like having a handle to grab onto.

I will get my tailgate emblem removed and smoothed out when I get my paint job. I hate seeing the top of the emblem in my back up camera every time I put the truck in reverse. Its not as bad now that it is painted but before when it was chrome and the sun was out I could not see crap.

if your gonna have the bumper custom made a winch can tuck nice and neatly between the frame and be out of the way and still allow for lights above it. as for the fogs they can be fabbed in there as well.

thats just the hood thougt. i was talking bout the fenders also. if he does go with a supercharger why not let it be seen. with the truck sitting one 11" of lift and possibly 40's you cant see the engine unless your 6'+.

Thats cool. I think I found my new future front bumper. Any idea how they did the RIPP rams bumper? I ask because it's like they cut the top of the stock bumper and left it there and butted the Ram-runner bumper to it. I'll try to find a picture to post it up.

Yeah the only concern I would have with attaching the fenders also is if I hit something it is a much more expensive fix. The supercharger has the cooling in the front that can be seen through the grille so I would not half mind getting the grille to open up with the hood like the older rams did. It would allow for more to be seen. I can always get a mirror type metal attached under the hood to allow short folks to see inside the engine bay.

i see what your saying but cutting the fender even with the firewall would solve that problem and still open everything up.

Yeah that is the truck. I like the merge of the Racing bumper with the cutting of the original bumper. I would have a different racing bumper but similar to that.
