Also am at odds as I have a nib set of all black mirror caps. Since I replace my chrome lettered hood cowl with an all black one, trying to decide if I want to swap out my body colored mirror caps for these black ones. I know that I’m pulling off my chrome Ram letters off of my doors which means the only chrome left is my front bumper. I have plenty of time to decide what to do as the truck sits 7 out of 7 days lol.

Well you folks may not see me on here build wise for awhile. Since my Ram sits 7 days out of seven, I’m going to stop building it. My sound deadening will be installed and there is where it ends. I’m on a hunt for a old / new project and that’s going to require some wrenching. I’m looking to acquire a 2013 Audi S8 and build that up. Most of my time now is spent doing my research and ensuring I have access to all the needed maintenance and tools to tear into this. I’m going with a OEM + theme exterior wise, paired with full detailed under hood. This will also be my SQ audio car so more interior tear down will be essential. I’ll be selling my current extra wheels, tires and my Mopar catback exhaust from my Ram starting next week.

Thank you kindly about my Ram. I was hopeful that I would just man up and take it to another level, but it hurts knowing I keep adding to it only for it to sit. I don’t plan on doing much with the Audi after I get it and add simple touches to it except drive it. One thing that I do know lol is that Ram is t going anywhere. :)

I’ve just scheduled a professional detail to be done. Outside of that this Ram is done. It’s been a great two years of spending spending and did I mention spending lol. Now I can watch it chill in the driveway as I shop for the next project.

Well now that the Ram is finished I’m going to sell the spare car. I figure this will be great as a commuter car for anyone looking not to have to spend money. It’s a 2010 Toyota Corolla LE all oem minus the dvd radio and speakers. It’s a shame as it has two sets of tires and all service up to date. The shame is it has 60K original miles on it so it’s not used often lol. Selling it for $6K to move it quickly. Thanks so much for all who have shared in this journey, your input has been greatly appreciated. :)

Shoot neither can I, the part that sucks is I have 17 yes 17 Audi in my list to look at. With the heat index being over 114 degrees this week, kind of makes it hard on me.

Also here’s where I just can’t stop lol. I currently run 35x12.50r20 on my Fuel wheels and it looks aggressive. Sadly I have not overcome the fact that it sticks out more then I prefer. So with that being the case the cure for that is to now swap to 35x11.50 instead. Yes I know I have less then 1K on these tires and yes the 35x12.50 will be up for sale asap.
