This is my 2011 1500 Outdoorsman. I got this Deep Cherry Metallic beauty in May of 2014 and it probably wont be leaving my family for a very long time! LOL

This is one month after I bought her.
-Shaving off most of the badging was obviously the first thing that has to be done to any vehicle. Especially if it is chrome!

Thanks guys! I am generally not a fan of red or metal flake, but this color and that much flake just makes it almost perfect!

After I pay off the deductible on my house for all the storm damage we had here in Blair two weeks ago and get the savings back up after paying the taxes on the truck, I can start to have a little fun. LOL

Ever have those moments when you just get a feeling that you need to look on e-bay or craigslist for something even though you don't really use those sights anymore? That happened to me today and I ended up with an Extang solid folding tonneau cover in almost perfect condition for under $200. LOL

Hello again! LOL

I noticed that I have not updated my truck page in a very long time, so here we go.

March 2015
-I put the HBS 2" front level kit on

-Picked up an 87mm throttle body, Diablosport I-1000 with a Hemifever tune and a Vararam intake

Needed to make a little bracket to keep the scoop even and off of the radiator

-Painted the front Ram head, replaced the rear Ram head, took the black vinyl off of the center pillars, painted the exhaust tips, and took a dirty chrome license plate frame and painted it up (wish I would have taken a before picture of the frame)

The Ram heads can be flipped down once you put it on.

-Did the H11 to H9 conversion on my quads
-Stripped the Hemi tags and Outdoorsman stickers
-Put new vent visors back on
-Made a pack rat for the bed (have no pics of it yet)
-Removed the ubber cheap (previous owner installed two years ago) Westin side steps that rusted out over the winter
-Added a set of KMC XD Series Addicts in a 17x9 -12 offset and BFG KO2s in 35x12.5/17

New side steps will be installed by fall or when my wife gets tired of climbing into on hopping out of the truck. LOL
