Took off the spats. Pm me if you want them. Looking at adding paint matched flares and flaps down the road so no need for them

Opinions? I like it better with the hemi below it. Might look into actually having this done professionally.

Also did this. Just testing because the computer doesn't seem to like the led i have in the middle. Keeps shutting that circuit off. It didn't mind the white one I had though

Cut the lower bumper insert and installed a mesh screen. Tow hooks arrive Monday. And install Tuesday hopefully.

Looking at getting bilsteins on my truck for now. Probably run them at 1.7 as my truck only has 2" of rake in it. Gotta help curb the urge to lift it for a while.

Carven progressive is in. Damn that sounds good. I almost wish I had gone straight pipe because I started the truck with no muffler and wow. That sounded sweet. But Progressive has a nice deep tone. It'll hold me off till I get custom exhaust done in about 6 years

Carven progressive sounds amazing. Wish my truck was lifted. Would have been easier. Bt clear catch can ordered.

Washed truck yesterday. Started claying, polishing, and waxing today. Got the roof and passenger side of the bed done... I would like to state that I washed my truck in the rain yesterday as with living in Florida you never know what you'll get.

Detail looks good. Jet Seal is incredible stuff! Are you doing it all by hand or do you have a DA?

I have a da but I only use it for polish and compound. I prefer to hand do the seal and wax

Catch can showed up. Had to email billet tech and double check because I think they sent the wrong can. I ordered clear with satin and I'm pretty sure that should've been clear bottom and I got a full satin can :( hopefully they get back to me soon. Besides that little bump this CC looks amazing and I can't wait to install it in my truck as soon as they get back to me
Edit: well that's disappointing. Clear with satin is clear coated can not clear bottom can.

Do you get any error messages with the new reverse or cargo led lights?

Thank you danimal for the bilsteins and thank you dirty for the zone ucas. I'm waiting on ups for my ucas and rear spacers and hopefully this weekend I can work on my truck. 2.1" front and 1" rear.

Thank you. It was a fight between delmonico red and that blue color everyone likes. But as my 97 ram is delmonico red I figured I'd keep it going.

Guess it’s been a while. Just installed my filter relocate. Very happy. Just ordered backup camera kit and transfer case skid plate kit to be installed as soon as they arrive
