You have a transfer case that doesn't need Brandon's switch. If you see 4auto in your 4x4 dial then you would want that switch yesterday :)
Thanks, I appreciate it!

Took it out trail riding tonight. We have over a foot and a half of snow on the ground. Local truck club had a spur of the moment outing. 12 trucks. I came late and caught up to them at a three way corner with a step up to the cross trail and the traveled trail banking left. They had 4 trucks mid pack just BURIED when I got there. I backed the whole mile way out, went to the trail head and backed a half mile in to them and provided some lighting.

They had one slid off trail (98 exploder), one that got stuck trying to go around (97 tahoe), third got by him and got stuck on the step up and slid pretty much against the hoe as she tried to wiggle the rest of the way past it (14 ram 1500 on 6" lift) and her husband got stuck trying to side pull her off the hoe and couldn't release tension on the strap. I dug snow pack out from behind the hoes tires and got him free from the ram and back to a safe spot of the trail, that gave the ram enough room to back up and get enough tension off the strap to pry it off the hitch hook and she rode the step sideways until it got level enough for her to pop over the ledge and on the trail. Her hubby tried to get past the intersection and slid back into the fluff and a there was a break to the right that another guy blew through and was able to pull him to safety. All that was left was the exploder. After digging snow pack out from behind the tires and relentlessly flogging it they were able to get back on trail under their own power. Everyone then too the right hand break as it was much more level and led to a easier spot to get turned around and caught back up.

The ordeal took two hours but everyone got free and nobody broke anything so that's a win in my book. We hit one more trail after that and now I'm at work.

I seriously was gonna go today. Got sidetracked, aka: honeydos' I'll try and go next week.

Wow...... big difference with grills. Did you have to do any trimming? or just bolt it in?

Nice job :waytogo:

Still pondering on doing something with the letters but mama says painting them will look "too much"
Im thinking painting snouts and letters gloss black while the rest is matte

The grill does look much better. Are the ram letters integrated into the grill or can they be removed or left off? I like the grill style, but I don’t want the lettering.

Letters are removable but there are little tabs that they screw onto that would be unsightly imo
