Just added rigid Radiance red, and Oracle engine lighting... Thinking about an aftermarket hood, I think it would look mean as hell. Hmmm wytafe94be3c60a85b1ce7edb268e11ec57.jpgc52b1a0f7e463ac1e868952167c7929d.jpge79922ce61b0920c6d88eedbe957ad37.jpg34230045d0ffe0d4bc65cba12e3401df.jpg

I am about to make a big leap into custom wheels and tires this week, so I thought I would post the evolution of my black 2015 Ram 1500 Express thus far. It's been minor upgrades so far...

First photo, the truck, bone stock, as it appeared outside the frozen yogurt shop the day I bought it in summer of 2019.

A couple days later I took it back to the dealer to get the side steps installed that I negotiated as part of the deal.

Later in the week, I installed an Access tonneau cover in the parking lot at work on my lunch break.

And this week I'm ordering 22x12 custom wheels with brand new tires. I ordered the OEM TPMS sensors separately because I read quite a few horror stories from guys who got upsold on aftermarket TPMS sensors when they ordered their wheels, only to find out the sensors weren't compatible with their truck when they arrived.

So, it's a little additional hassle, because I won't be able to order the tires mounted and balanced with the TPMS sensors already in them, but at least I know I'll have the right sensors when the wheels and tires arrive.

I'll post an updated photo with the wheels and tires in the 4th Gen forum when I get 'em mounted up.

I look forward to seeing those wheels. The TPMS can be a hassle but using the OEM is worth it. I usually just order the wheels and TPMS, then take that to discount tire and buy the tires from them. This way I can get a tire warranty plus free balance/rotations.

Here it is the day I bought it... bone stock, no tonneau cover, no steps, nothing...

Got steps, a tonneau cover, and custom wheels/tires. Still gotta do some blackout work on the tails, wind deflectors, and some stuff under the hood. Here it is now.

Truckless...
I've prolly posted on here WAY back, but I'm getting back in the saddle, and kinda bored tonight lol... so here's a few for ya'll.

Bought my 07 in 2010, lookin like an old Grandpa's truck. Sold it in 2016.... wish I didn't.

Then bought the 02 (see the picture with both trucks lol), and sold it with quite a few changes a few weeks ago.... time for another one lolooold.jpg 13151807_10206293789049818_6128084093527709456_n.jpg old and new.jpg 70873313_10214641088647091_9027886231010148352_o.jpg
