My old truck was 3 years old with 50,000 miles but I got an opportunity to trade so I jumped on it. I gained 3.92 gears, nav unit, sub, back-up camera, brake controller, steering wheel controls and all the other cool stuff that come with them.

I stripped most everything from my old truck and its all going on this one. I'm throwing a set of Bilsteins on it soon with 35s until I can lift it and put my 37s on it.

Here's some pics...

Dude it is little you!!! lol I started painting tonight with the grill and emblem, guess we have good taste!

Thanks guys! Yes its very small coming from 8" of lift and 37s, I can't see over everyone in traffic anymore. I have bilsteins arriving soon, then a 6" lift hopefully so I'll be back up to 8-9" of lift and put my 37s back on

Yup! Was going to remove the big huge RAM1500 on both doors but it started to rain. I'm kind of partial to the Hemi badge though, I'm not sure.

As for the tailgate, did you strip yours? I have the outdoorsman badge, the big ram head and the 4x4 in chrome. My black 09, I stripped it all but the ram head. I'm thinking of debadging the small emblems and then plastidipping the rear ram head like I did in the front?

Absolutely love the outdoorsman trucks. Wish i would of got one. The headlights look right at home on that thing.

And just like smr, very very nice color combo. One of my favorites

Yes I debadged the whole truck.. Outdoorsman badge on the tailgate, 4x4 and all the badges on the doors.

I'm keeping the Ram head on the back because I'm going to be ordering some custom badges for the grill and tailgate.
