Wow, 19? Please don't even think about telling us that you paid for this truck and it's build. Lol. I'm 18 and I've got a ways to go on my 1500 but I think after my pure performance kit later this year and some other stuff like gears, tow mirrors new lights and some body work that'll probably (but knowin me, nahh) be it. Gotta start savin for my girl and I when we tie the knot in a few years. Just hopin I don't have to sell the Ram when I find out we have one on the way..

Ya I did I got a $875 car note and I do and always have bought my own aftermarket parts. My dad helped me start this Offroad shop while I was in high school then showed me how to run it as the business end then I added all the Offroad knowledge and have been doing great

Beautiful truck man...just flat out mean!


I wanna give you props also. I'm only 23...and I love doing the same things you are doing. Building and customizing my own ****. For a 19 year old that is very impressive. Most 19 year olds now days...all they care about is video games. They have no respect for nothing and have everything handed to them. You on the other hand are taking what life has given you and making the best of it...19 and starting a business is awesome. I really hope it works out for ya! I can see your not afraid to get your hands dirty

Dude that is really one awesome ride. I'm moving to TN next year and I currently plan on buying a PW once the new body style comes out. I'll have to come visit your shop for a custom lift.:********:

is it really that hard to believe there are hard working kids out there?
I could start throwing up pictures of my friends trucks and jeeps that I know they have paid for themselves.
There is alot of money out there in a few different industries(machining, oil field, excavation...) for a kid who will work his ass off

I would love for you to start a thread on stuff you have built and worked on.

I tried to get into fabrication and stuff, like bumpers and trusses, but it didnt pan out. I have the creativity and some handy skills, but the welding part of the equation didnt have the time to help out. I need to learn how to weld on my own I guess.

right there is part of the best advice i never listened to and never will and will allways regreat it cause i wake up every day and think to my self i should of been a machinist.

also since the knowlage is now out there that you funded this whole build your self and i dont have to hate you for being so young and having an awsome truck
i would just like to say amazing job keep up the awsome work and never stop working hard and sorry for hating your guts for a few days since i jumped to the thoughts of mommy and daddy funding your truck

Here are a few final pics now that she is out of shop. Tops gun customs 8" lift with a 2.5" spacer up front with stock 2" power wagon leafs in the rear so it brings the total to 10". Them going from 33" tires to the ss m16 40" adds another 3.5". All I have to say is man it's a great kit and she drives great and still has power!!! Its deff not made for a power wagon due to a lot of suspension diff and skid plate diff but with a little fab I think it came out great!
The day I bought her

My truck dosnt break a sweat with the hemi. I've pulled two loaded semis out the mud! This new hemi is bad ass and not near as heavy as the cummins. I'm not ashamed one bit. Hell I out ran a stock 5.3 Chevy yesterday with my truck on 40s

You don't need those gears although they would be about the sweet spot
If I had 4:56 and 40's I wouldn't regear, that's a better combo then stock 1500 with 20's and 3:55

you have a very bad ass truck. I've always wanted to have a shop designed around offroading. But there's two problems lack of interest where I live and skill. I do all my own work on my vehicles but once it gets past bolt on the fab work kind of falls off. not having the correct tools and knowledge hurts. Although I'm pretty good at figuring things out.
