I don't think it'd be too bad. Just buy a 3rd gen front end, and slap em on! :roflsquared:

The famous JJ! I'm casey, nice to meet you. I've been reading the ramforums for awhile now, but I've just started getting involved. I really admire your retroshop stuff.

And my dad has an 08 big horn, i'm sure he wouldn't notice if i swapped front ends while he was out of town:naughty:

Looks good...

Is it me or does the body lines not match up between the cab and the bed?

I probably know them a little too well! Haha. But it was worth every penny. I think that would be a fun project, but I don't think the fenders and stuff would match the doors and what not would they?

The bed sway was an epic fail. Sad, since the sheetmetal work on the front looks really nice!

I like it less everytine I look at it
The spent the time to match the body lines to the fender but not the bed and it's WAY to noticeable to me. If it had a second gen bed it would be so sick
To each his own

If that's the coolest thing you've ever seen then this will blow your mind:

So if you can't figure out what is going on it is a dodge ram charger SUV (2nd gen ram truck SUV only sold in mexico) that the owner put a 4th gen front clip on and executed it very nicely. So you can't even just buy one of these older SUV's stateside and he somehow bought it and installed a new 4th gen clip BIG MONEY... That's just the kind of thing they do out on the west coast'....

HOLY SH** THATS COOL... Btw, love your truck.
I've been telling my buddies that drive Tahoes that Dodge needs to make a fullsize, Ram-based SUV... I love it.

Thanks for the compliment. My rents have a new body tahoe and those things are really nice... The new durango is supposed to be a BEAST (as is the new Jeep Grand Cherokee).

the bed looks like ass.

I'd like to get a close-up shot of the A-pillar section and door-to-fender sections.. looks like the 2gen bodyline on the rear of the fender, from what I can tell..
