The truck: 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 ECSB 4x4 5.9L Automatic Offroad Edition
Purpose of this thread is a build sheet, keep mods up-to-date, and log what I do with the truck.
Currently reading just over 167k KM's, so somewhere around 105k miles.
The purpose of this build is to have a vehicle equipped for Offroad, while still being as safe as it can on road.
Current Set-up:
Hughes Aluminum Plenum Plate
SCT Hemifever Tuned (summer time)
Magnaflow Cat
Cherry Bomb Vortex Muffler
4.10 Gears
Moog Problem Solver 3500 Track bar
Superwhite Bi-Xenon (non HID) Headlights
2" ORE Suspension Lift (no spacers)
285/75/16 Hercules Trail Digger MT's
Removed Tow Mirrors/ Added Regular Power Heated Mirrors
Removed ORE Wheels for stock 16" wheels
Infinity 6x9's x4
Pioneer Head Unit
150 watt Sony Amplifier
800 watt 10" Single Subwoofer
Plans (will take a looooong time to accomplish) :
Dana 60 Front and Back Axles
5" Suspension Lift with Long Control Arms (3" on top of what I have now)
Bilstein 5100 Series Shocks
35"x12.5" MT Tires
NP241 or bigger X-case
4.88 Gears
Gibson True Dual Exhaust
Built 5.9L Gas Motor (Headers, Intake, TB, Cam, RR's, Heads, Forged Rods and Pistons, Custom Tune)
Built 46RE Trans, bigger trans if possible
"Cold Air Intake" Note - Not so much for performance, no gains to be had, more because the stock intale is a royal PITA.
Redhead Steering Box
Rock Solid Ram Steering Fix
Custom steering
Stronger Alternator (Current 136 amp, the big half ton one)
Alpine 6x9 Speakers x4
Alpine 6 3/4" Speakers x2
Flip out touch screen Head unit
Legally Required
Fender Flairs to cover wide tires (Most like Bushwacker Pocket style in black)
Mud flaps (Thinkin big rig style)
Day i brought it home
Sittin Next to my old Dakota (RIP you piece)
Black Wheels and 285's
315/75/16's - Note 35's on a Dana 44 front sucks, chewed through all my ball joints, track bar and 1 wheel bearing in less then 3 months.
285/75/16's
Regular Mirrors with Power/Heat
Tinted Corner and Cab Lights
Cadillac Cigarette Lighter
Summer 2013 Wash and Wax
Offroad Dumping Brush (Sorry took the brush out before I remembered a pic)
Camo Dash Bezel - Note for those interested, I used the vinyl wrap camo from the hunting/outdoors department of Canadian Tire
Black Tailgate Stripe - Note I need to redo this, the ice has slowly peeling it this winter
Winter 2013/2014 First Bath - Note need to keep up with the bathing because of the horrendous amount of road salt they use here, been doing that every 2 weeks since the snow first came down about a month ago. Note Cab lights are no longer running.
Winter 2013/2014 Second Bath
Frozen Solid
