My 04 Ram 1500 Mod thread

[HeavyD]

As you see pics, the fit becomes better.

& if I drill a few holes I can bolt the new grill shell to the hood.

 

[HeavyD]

I started a thread on the grill mods.

Grill installed - more pics later in my tech thread - need shower first.

& yes it needs more work, but the hood opens & closes.

pics of new to me tires - picked up 4 today, they all look the same for wear.

 

[HeavyD]

Got my new hood shocks in the mail today, not the brand I ordered, but will try anyway. Will put on in near future - its drizzling & is to rain all day & tomorrow.

So will not be cleaning out shed/garage today either so my new to me winter tires will stay in the back seat (covered with garbage bags)

Also I was looking to buy some kind of tire stand or storage rack, im instead going to put another shelving unit & put 2x4's across & put tires on there.

& amazon gives weird answers to "not brand I ordered"

Pic of the tires in the back seat until I have room in the shed/garage, which im thinking of cleaning up today, not hot not cold & only a little cloudy so should be good to go.

 

[HeavyD]

Cleaned up shed/garage, not completely done, but winter tires are stored, just have to sort tools & other stuff on shelves.

The shelf I picked up to fit from shelving unit to shelving unit was so heavy I could not pick it up by myself, so slid it across floor leaned it on the shelving & picked up the other end & almost didn't fit.

I had the second shelving unit & bought the door @ a used store for $35, but should never break it. So still cost more than a bolt to a wall tire rack, but this was aloud.

the second pic of the door shows how much it moved on the drive home.

& then the shed after some cleanup then with tires stored - forgot to take a pic before I started cleanup.

& installed the hood shocks - forgot pic.

Where did you put it?

 

[HeavyD]

It goes into the 12v outlet.

Oh nice

 

[HeavyD]

I got my new Plate, just have to register it.

 

[Rzrman328]

Nice...they must do things different in Canada.

When we order plates, we receive them in the mail already registered, with stickers ready to throw on the vehicle.

It does not work that way here, & these are special order plates & the money goes to funds which support Alberta Military families that need it most.

Yup - photobucket sucks
They let you use it for what you want for years than change their minds how people can use the free file hosting service & want money.
