Agreed!! The Outdoorsman I almost bought was already done, but I found this Big Horn and couldn't say no. I wound up taking it to Line-X in Frederick, which does all the work on the trucks at the dealership I purchased from.

I took a fairly quick look at this thread and boy chuck you have been busy.

And I'll say the truck is turning out to be one hellva truck.

Thanks!! I really appreciate it. I'm trying to do as much as I can. Right now I'm debating whether or not I want to leave the badges plasti dipped or remove it and have them chrome again.

That's the great thing about plasti dip. If you don't like it you just peal it off.

I'm thinking of debadging my doors and getting some ghost flames air brushed on.

That would look pretty awesome, what color were you thinking about? The normal grey-ish color that the ghost paint normally is? I would love that look.

And yea thats exactly what I didn't have too much anxiety about doing the badges, because I knew I could just rip it off if I didn't like it.

I know what you mean, all the relatively cheaper mods are done, minus the level, now it's just the higher priced mods like headers and a torque converter left....and I'm still trying to convince the wife on those.. so it may be a while lol.

That is exactly what I'm thinking about. Nothing fancy that would stand out unless you look at it from the right angle.

Yea I absolutely love the way gray ghost paint looks. I think that would look amazing on your truck. Especially in that spot.

Oohh good point! My next "mod" is those windshield wipers that I keep forgetting to put on. It was supposed to be sunny and clear here all day but then it started pouring and thundering. The weather still says it's 0% chance of rain all day lol

So did you get those wipers on? I sure hope so.

Wow I guess I thought I had responded to ya but I completely forgot haha.

Sadly I still haven't gotten to the wipers. They're sitting alone and bored in my ram box. I went out the other day and tried to get the stock wipers off, but those ******** aren't coming off. I've changed tons of wiper blades in the past, so I think these are just being stubborn.

I have the patience and attention span of a hamster so I'm gonna have to go out and put some elbow grease into it one of these days after I've had a few :drink_nl:

Chuck, You have definitely taken your truck way beyond me. Of course I like to think I started with an advantage having the Sport. Same color though.

Time for some new pics.
