Hey guys I have been browsing the forum forever but finally registered. Thanks for everyones posts on here because it has saved me a lot of time solving different issues I have had with my trucks. I just got done installing my new grill and headlights. Let me know what you guys think of the truck. Any suggestions are always welcome! Please keep in mind we had a big snowstorm last week so the truck is filthy!

Quite an improvement. What brand headlights? I'm thinking about picking up some used oem ones to tint slightly.

Truck looks great!

First off sweet ride. Love the mega cab. And second where did you get that grille at? I like that you can't see in it like others. That looks clean! Is it an abs or metal one?

Lights I got off ebay from seller "ipexmotoring"... not sure on the brand. Grille again got on ebay, seller "galaxymotorinc" and its plastic, but I too liked the way it covered the front end better than some of the metal mesh grills I have seen. I have a blue hemi emblem from main event emblems ordered, I'll post pics of that once I get it put on.

Hope you have better luck with their headlight housing than I did. Mine got moisture in them real bad. They're now back in the box and sitting in the attic...

Let them dry out completely and then reseal them. I do it with all aftermarket headlights and it gets rid of that problem.

Truck looks nice. I had Main Event Emblems custom make me a red & black RAM emblem for my mesh grille i had on my 06 Ram. I loved the emblem and thought the quality was perfect and it looked killer.

Heres a pic of my headlights, grille and my custom M.E.E. emblem:

I also had the Hemi Sport front lip, i plastidipped the middle "bar" in the front bumper and i had some custom vinyl work done. I loved that truck but it started falling apart mechanically, so i had to get rid of it. Traded it in towards my new 2012 Ram 1500 Hemi. I love my new truck, but i really do miss my 3rd gen [emoji22]

Just got my emblem from main event emblems. They did a great job, couldn't be happier with how it turned out.

Thats funny, because I actually saw your post of your emblem for sale and that's what made me order one for my truck!

Put them on a photo hosting site, like Imgur or Photobucket or such, then get them oriented properly there before post the URL in the "Insert Image" box.

If you put attachments on a post directly from your phone, which a lot of people do, they don't get oriented properly. It's just something weird that happens with phone pics.

Yea i had to order mine as a "custom" emblem to get the size i wanted as the regular RAM emblem was just too small for the grille.

They have really nice products for hard to beat prices. I will definitely be ordering from them in the future because i want a custom emblem made.
