Gabe, both trucks look great. That suspension on the Toyota is beautiful, and the new truck mods are really going to bring it to life.

Cool. I heard the tow bar is quiet heavy, I am planning on removing it too when I do the custom rollpan.

Thanks a lot fellas. It's sure been one hell of a ride and a learning experience building the toyota with long travel suspension. I parked it after our king of the hammers meet February 6th of this year to rebuild it.

Can't wait to start buying parts for the ram. I'll be getting in touch with you soon Matt to order some more parts. I'm really trying to save enough for the diablo/hemifever and vararam/ 180 t stat by end of next week.

Installed my vararam. Does anyone know if this is the right one ? 2014 R/T.

Fit a little funky and is floppy. Hood closes with a tight fit. I closed hood first then reopened and tightened down.

I thought intake gasket was supposed to be level with air dam on top of engine bay? Front plenum fits funky on the sides. It kind of grabs radiator mounts. Does air temp sensor look screwed in far enough. Few pics

Im planning to not run the engine cover.

Here's how it sits after I close the hood and reopen. Leans to the driver side. And the plenum catches on the radiator mount bolt if you flop it around
A little.

Gabe, loosen the upper hose clamp on the red coupler and have someone hold the airbox level while you tighten the clamp back down. The airbox should sit level with the rubber weather stripping on the bottom of the wiper cowl. Also, the breather filter goes on the drivers side of the motor by the oil cap. Pull that entire hose off where it connects to the oil cap, then take that small rubber elbow that the filter is clamped onto and slide it onto the plastic nipple next to the oil cap.

Trucks look great. I'm still on the fence if I want RT wheels or SRT wheels. Seeing your truck makes me want RT wheels for sure. Keep up the great work on the trucks.

I was in the same boat. I thought about selling my R/T wheels for some replicas until I found out what I had. I'll just be keeping what I have unless I save for another quality set of wheels. The way my truck sits reminds me of the late 90's and early 2000's . Here is my brand new 2001 tahoe with 22's . 22's-23's had just dropped at the time
