Man that truck looks awesome, you're really doing it right! 2nd gen trucks styling and the 5.9 or V-10 option are really grunt type vehicles. I'll bet when you fire it up you get a chubby, I know I would LOLOLOL!!!!

Mahalo bro! The V10 is a beast and excited to get things buttoned up soon.

Now if I could only figure our an exhaust system to help it sound how it should....

.....bottom line they look AWESOME!

The stance ended up perfect, maybe about .25" more than I wanted in the front, but its minor. Also the center caps on the rear tires didnt clear my hub, so gotta figure out if they provide a slighter larger option.

I'm also very happy with the Toyos highway driving feel. Smooth and soft. Will see how they handle in the minimal amounts of dirt they will see.

Check them out from a few angles:

Been a bit since my last update. Been doing a lot of work. Super happy with how things are going.

All new lighting installed, got my liner paint job done, did some undercarriage work, removed rust and fix some body imperfections, and LED bar install last night (post pics later)

Here's some update pictures.

Well. Long story short, left our home islands and currently down in Yuma, AZ. Sold our 2nd Gen V10 to a serviceman, he was pumped.

I just picked up a CCLB 2014 Ram 2500 HD, lifted and on 20s. It’s a 6.4, so not a diesel.

Don’t have much plans, but anything I absolutely should be doing or considering??

How does it compare to the v10? I miss how that v10 pulls like a diesel.

I know right? The V10 was just a monster and we put it through the ringer back in Hawaii. I enjoyed everything but the MPG on it.

This 4TH Gen rides nice. First haul will be a travel trailer next weekend. I’ll be able to return and report. With it being lifted and on bigger tires, I’m not expecting any amazing MPG.

I am going to buy a Bulletproof Hitch tomorrow for this truck. Excited to try that piece of equipment out too.

Awesome! I almost bought a V10 recently and I regret not. Maybe some day!

You did a great job on the 2nd gen V10 truck! I like your new Ram as well! Congrats!

I’ll tell you. The guy who bought mine, I told him, don’t sell this like I’m doing haha. I had it running nice and was a solid rig.

Thanks! It’ll be fun to have something a little off the ground. Never played with suspension on my 2nd gen because it was used for max payload situations every week.

With the 4th gen, won’t be a lot in the bed, just some scale towing once we get a SxS or travel trailer.
