He was born (purchased) on 4th of july 2008. My very first NEW vehicle, a bright white RAM 1500 4X4 QCRB Big horn edition, 3.92LSD 5.7 HEMI and i waited and sacrificed a lot to get him! I started with a used 92 power ram 250 4X4, then a used 04 ram 1500 and finally was able to buy a new one. For the first couple years i didnt do anything to it, he was under warranty and i wanted to keep it that way. Unfortunately i dont have any pics of him 100% stock as i only have pics on phones and well, my phone from 2008 is long gone HOWEVER i do have a few pics of him 99% stock lol so close enough.
My first "mod" was in 2011 and it was a DIY roll bar that i made out of actual food grade SS (my old work had strict regulations so any used metal could not be reused and i bought the used tubing for scrap cost.) This isnt something i wanted for actual roll protection rather just for looks. spent a few days measuring and cutting and using the bender at my buddies shop, welded it together, welded some light mounting tabs ontop, drilled out a few holes for lighting wires to route through the inside, primered it flat black, drilled the holes in my bed and bolted it in. To this day ive never installed lights on it lol probably never will but who knows.
Actually i guess technically my first "mod" was AVS window visors which i did right after purchasing the truck. so heres the few pictures i have of it in this form, even still got the factory tires on. sorry for the crappy pics but its my phone taking a picture of a 2011 phones screen
