Where did you get the upper glove box cover and what all needs to be done to install one?

Thanks all!

I would love to get a set for mine, only make them white. Keep up the good work.

That would look sick! If I had a white truck I always thought about that route as well, or a white lip with black spokes

What brand and size are your tires?

 

[DavidRam]

How she sat last week...


How she currently sits....



Torque converter and lt headers going on next weekend. Bolt on performance complete.

Definitely the right choice on the wheels! Truck looks awesome!

Let the money pit begin! Hahaha. It's definitely nice working on it. This is my first vehicle I have been able to say that I have done the work on by myself, or been able to help with the work being done and not relying on someone else completely. It's a great feeling

What brand and size are your tires?

Bf Goodrich- G force Ta/ KDW- 305/40/22. I wanted staggered, 285s upfront and 305 in the back, but they only offered 305 for 22"s

They look great, wheels and tires. We got a lot of that ice/snow stuff too. IN MIDDLE GA! We had a team from Israel training us on an upgraded fighter helmet and those dudes were hating life big time. They closed Robins Air Force Base for two and half days. Nothing like getting paid to play in the snow and yeah I have to hand it to Goodyear, these tires aren't that bad, just a little too soft in the sidewalls. But my heat pump froze over one night and I broke my middle toe walking out to it at night, with a shi-ty flash light. I have a streamlight now!

Nice lookin' Express. I love the black but couldn't tolerate keepin' it clean, lol.

I'll be honest with you. I keep about an 1/8 of an inch of wax on the hood and black isn't that bad. Of course I'm kidding about the 1/8 inch, it's more like a 1/4!

Just a teaser... finally getting around to painting some things and wiring up some different things.

 

[PX8]

Now your ready to put you a University of Georgia tag on the front!

 

[Birddog]

The truck is lookin great.

 

[BlkXpress]

Thanks

Hey man I have a question about your 2/4 drop. When you first put it on, did you have any problems with the stock rims and the Wrangler SR-A tires?

 

[BlkXpress]

Are the wrangler's the ones that came on the stock wheels? Didn't pay attention to the stockers.... as far as issues with the stock tires, they would only rub/hit the liner if I hit a bump/dip at about 80mph plus...

If you aren't gunning it anywhere you should be good to go. The bumps have to be pretty good sized too

Did you get those headers and cats put on yet? Lol

 

[BlkXpress]

Did you get those headers and cats put on yet? Lol

No.... -.-

Lol. I have been rebuilding the front end of my gf's acura slowly but surely. Really all just body work, but it has been in my way.

 

[12 Ram Express]

That sucks, but would have sucked more without the quick thinking.... they don't really check for that down here, that I am aware of. I know other cities do, but not in my immediate area.

My girl got pulled over a few times for having no front license plate, but I get left alone. Guess the officers appreciate my truck's beauty
