New here and Sharing my Ram build

[Fretlessman]

I love my Ram and it has been a very capable overland trail rig for my family. We camp out of it and excited to connect with other Ram Overlanders here for ideas and inspiration. 90% of my build has been done with used or discounted parts and I love the hunt for a good deal to turn into quality gear. I have some upgrades Im looking at doing, but waiting for things to break before I upgrade lol....I will certainly seek counsel from the group as need arises. Here are some pics of my rig!

You keep it looking nice ,like the side pipes so no rocks get in way nice job on them.

Sweet rig! You need a nice front bumper to improve approach angle to match now!

THank you! Its definitely on the list and in a shopping cart at Coastal Offroad. Ill match the front bumper to what I already have. I can't decide which model to go with...

Thanks man! Ive got plans to add water storage and/or an air bubble where the spare tire and exhaust used to be.

Im surprised your bumper is still intact actually, I’ve had to straighten mine back out more then once. Personally I like the look of that first bumper.

That’s a nice looking setup.

I’m contemplating modifying mine to my needs or swapping to the coastal front bumper so I can add a winch. Looking at coastal sliders as well. I have plans to do a full belly skid as well. Contemplating aluminum plating for weight but may go with 1/8”. I don’t plan on doing rock crawling but if I run into rocks or anything I’d rather be safe. I still have my stock rear bumper. Eventually I’ll swap it and turn my exhaust out behind the wheels. Your truck looks great. Here’s my current setup. Rocker guards are home made

Great looking setup. I’m about to pull the trigger on the coastal front bumper and sliders, I really am happy with their kits. What lift tire combo are you running?

Originally was eibach and bilstein 5100 mixed sitting at 3” front and 1” rear. Now I run a full fox 2.5 setup sitting about 2.5-2.75” lift up front and 1” rear. No front sway bar. Clayton off-road jeep Gladiator rear control arms and track bar
