    Another ending but a new beginning...

    Well, this is the end of the road for me as my Ram has a new owner. I am getting a brand-new company truck and don't need two. So for my four-wheeling adventures, I am going to finish building up my old Toyota Land Cruiser 80 Series. This will not be the last time you'll see me as the new owner...

    Thanks! If you're referring to the mountain pic, that one was taken in Corrales, NM (little village just north of Albuquerque along the Rio Grande).

    Thanks! Yeah, the Mickey Thompsons great and you'll be surprised how quiet the Baja Boss ATs are even at this size; 80 mph and still no intrusive noise at all. I will report back after they get some mileage on them!

    Desert Dawg 2020 Ram Rebel Build

    I just realized that I had posted this in the General Discussion thread and not my build thread. Oh well! I had recently pulled the trigger on some new Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T LT305/70R18s (35.3 inches tall x 12 inches wide on my 18x8.5 Black Rhino wheels). I purchased a set of (5) tires...

    What did you do with your 5th Gen this week?

    Thanks! Yes, they balanced out very nicely. And I am so impressed on how quiet they are despite being a tad over 35-inches tall with an aggressive tread. Great comfortable ride with lots of grip.

    A couple of close up shots: Again, I am very, very happy that I waited for this new system to finally come out. Although technically, I didn't really wait as I went through 3 other suspension systems in my attempt for the perfect setup that would achieve the stance I wanted while...

    Also have the new BDS 3-inch lift with Fox 2.5 Performance Elite system installed! The front uses the Fox 2.5 adjustable coil-overs with remote reservoirs and dual speed compressors (DSC) paired with new BDS UCAs (which are optional for some reason) for the front. I upgraded the rear to...

    Desert Dawg 2020 Ram Rebel Build

    Made some more progress! Finally have the winch all spooled up so ready to use! I did purchase a second clutch handle, grinded down the foot a bit more to better clear the Warn fairlead, and sprayed painted a satin black to match the rest of the assembly instead of having the chrome...

    Desert Dawg 2020 Ram Rebel Build

    So, I have this sweet system coming in: BDS 3-inch with Fox 2.5 Performance Elite Coilovers with Dual Speed Compression (DSC): Instead of the Fox 2.0 Rear Shocks, I upgraded to the Fox 2.5 with Remote Reservoirs and DSC as well: Since the system is basically the 4-inch Fox PE system for...

    Desert Dawg 2020 Ram Rebel Build

    Been a little remiss on my progress updates. While it only took me about 3 years to finally hook up the backlighting on my Rigid 360 Series Driving and Spot lights, I finally got it done right. As mentioned previously when I was installing my hidden winch, I completely redid the wiring for the...
