6.4 hemi
started the pre-approval loan may 1st and had to get it from a dealer in miami since I'm in south GA and they didn't have any, and the miami dealer wasn't calling my local dealer back.. took almost the entire month to get everything finalized, but i have a 2018 Power Wagon with every option available. sticker price was $66,000. so i now have 15MPG and a $985/month payment..

Window tinting is 35% front, 5%rear and sunroof, and i have the IR coating on the windshield. that ran me $648 at sound vision audio and tint in valdosta, GA (AMAZING SERVICE BY THE WAY). the 12th I'm going to upgrade the alpine stereo with an alpine PXE-0 850 signal processor, and add 2 crossfire amps. the C5-850.4 for the dash and door speakers, and the C5 1000.1 for the 2 crossfire C3-604 10" DVC subs.

I installed the flow master american thunder 50 series exhaust today, ordered cover king dash cover, and black tactical seat covers (they have the same molle system i used in the Army), and ordered the Fuel Offload Zephyr D632 20"x9 wheels candy apple red with black trim ring, and milestar M/T 37x12.5x20's (3 month wait on wheels). weather tech floor mats, and all thats left is the AEV snorkel and i think I'm done for now...

Nice rig but holy ****, $985 a month! That's almost my mortgage payment. Also just a heads up these trucks do not like a heavy negative offset wheel. You will probably have to do some serious trimming of the pinch weld and plastic at the rear of the front fender Wells. Especially if you plan on running 37s

37s on stock suspension. 17x9 +18 wheels. I did preemptively do a little plastic trimming near the pinch weld. I think without that I would've had some rub there but with the trim no rubbing at all.

Got my thuren front springs and fox shocks on tonight. Will do the rear tmmrw , deciding on whether or not I want to add the 1" spacer. I need to find a level spot and check my measurements. Looking at it in the drive it kinda looks nose high but then again our trucks tend to do that when dead level. Pics are before and after the level

Officially done the suspension thuren 1.5" springs , traxda 1" spacer in the rear and fox 2.0 all around. I was hesitant on the spacer but I have roughly 1-1/4" of rake now which is good. Dead level usually seems a little nose high to me. I was gonna do a write up on it but really nothing overly hard. The only ***** for me was getting the rear springs back in with the spacer. Was just a bit to much so I had to use a spring compressor to get the extra space. And the shock tower nuts were pretty tedious in getting them off. Took me about 2.5hrs for the front and about the same for the rear. Wednesday I go for an alignment.0f71dc98793a97fe561bd6717e24e925.jpga6453c82d1d3d0c0670bf471dd6450c0.jpg3bd80ece5b185e4c6bcff41b6e463540.jpg6fce1c6ded008162e04b7eead5becfa5.jpg

Recently got my Roof Rack installed Rhino Rack 2500 vortex RS bars and Go rhino srm100 rack. I added the 3" cube light front plate with auxbeam 3" cubes for the time being. I eventually will put ridgids in but for 6 lights I got em for $70. Plan for the rack will be to store my recovery boards, rotopax fuel can(when I get it) and additional off-road or camping supplies. Looking forward to next week, 37's, Thuren springs and fox shocks all around.

Thanks man! 1.5" add for the power wagon. I believe it's a 3" add for a standard 2500611bc5c4b1892bf656c9be93d25b7db5.jpg

Thanks. I’ve had the hi lift there for a while now. The shovel and axe were an afterthought. I had one of those smittybilt folding shovels and broke it the first time I went to use it. Figured I’d get something a little more robust this time.
