Thx! It’s slept in the garage most it’s life.


Starting Friday mine will be sleeping outside lol .. finally getting her lifted and you having 37"s on your truck made me go with the 37"s for mine ... Do you have any pictures of what exactly and how much you had to trim? The shop where I am getting it lifted is going to handle all the trimming they can so I don't know if I will have to do some of my own ... thanks in advance ...

I don't have any pictures of the cuts but it was on the bumper,valance,pinch welds, and wheel liners.

Also, your 3.21 gears are not gonna be happy about those 37's just a heads up.

Good deal...you going with 3.92's or bigger?


Going with the 4.56s ... but I ran into a problem ... the shop that quoted me $800 for regearing now wants $1000 out the door ... they say that I have the "New Gen" differential on new 2018 Ram 1500s ... does that sound right ? Or is he trying to squeeze $200 more out of me ?

I stumbled across your build when looking for ideas for my 2017 RAM. I have to agree with the others, your truck looks great! I love the creativity you are using on your truck. Hope to do some of these mods myself here.
Already got a Ranch Hand grill guard since I drive down a farm to market road to get to work. I have a 32" LED light bar that I have been debating where to install.

That bracket fits really snug too when the grill is put back on. It was already the perfect length too...didn't have to cut it. Got it at lowes for like $5.
I must have missed the amber light install. What bracket from Lowe's did you find that works?

It was like a piece of flat stock with holes prepare already. I didn't do any write up on it.

Still look'n good Rzrman. Love the blacked out cross hairs, it's a shame they've gone away from those now, they've always been one of my favorite details on these trucks.
