Drummin4jc's 2012 Ram 1500 Build Thread

[Drummin4jc]

Right on...you have. I was having issues with the Mickey T mud tires that came on my truck new. Dealer ended up telling me to pick some replacements and I went with the Toyo R/Ts that I saw your feedback on. Sure...I did some further research after that, but honestly had never heard of them before seeing them in your thread.

I'm glad I could help with your tire selection! They are definitely becoming more and more popular as I see a lot of them on lifted trucks in my area and on the forum.

Damn! Solid build, Sir. I really love your truck. I was very pleased to see that you added the Clearance Lights on the cab. I am going with this Mod as well.

Love it!

Thank you, sir! The clearance light mod is a real difficult mod as it's not very easy to put 15 holes in a perfectly good roof.... lol! But once it's done properly, they sure do look great! I've been running the Recon's since December of '15 and have had zero issues.

Thanks for your thread... love your truck. Just bought this bull bar and can't wait until it comes in, though I may need to modify the mount to clear my winch. Can you tell me how much distance you have between the bars? I would like to put a couple KC Hilites in there.

Next, I found some body colored inserts you can put in the "Ram" badges to help bring the ram out better. Gotta love Ebay.

Do you still have a link to this? I'd like to get this in white for my truck!

Sorry I haven’t replied to your comment... I’ve been really busy and haven’t been on the site as much as I’d like to be. First, thank you for you compliment on my truck. I appreciate it and glad you like the thread. As far as your question, I know I have a 36” LED light bar in there with no problem. The bar comes with four pre-drilled holes to mount lights to. I’ll try to get you some dimensions tomorrow.

I replied to your private message. I don’t have a link and don’t think they have hem on EBay anymore which is where I purchased them.

Looks good

Thank you!

No worries! I've already mounted the bull bar and two 6" KC lights. Hope to get some pics taken this weekend.

Congratulations Adam, We have same truck as you see in my profile pic. I haven't done anything yet but I have a lot of projects and most of them are those you already done on your good looking truck. Specially the clearance lights on the roof. Did you do it yourself?

Thank you for you compliments! Yes, I did the clearance lights myself. Everything you see that is modified on the truck I have completed myself. I did have someone who had a garage help me with the lift install.

So, I haven’t been on here as much as I’d like to be. Some of you know that I’ve been talking about building a new house. Well, it’s finally starting to take shape! My wife and I are building a log cabin with a 2 1/2 car attached garage. I’ll keep you guys posted on it!

WOW! It’s certainly been a long time since I’ve posted here...

We are finally in our new home. It took a LOT longer than initially anticipated but, we are finally moved in. This is why I haven’t been very active on here. I’m hoping to start getting involved with the forum again. Let me know what you guys/gals think!
