well,

i think i should intoduce my truck here and not in the intoducing section.

Bulid in 2007 exported to Germany 2011, bounght 2012 by me from a private seller.

It´s my first Ram and i have a lot of fun with it and this year a big list of mods.

We bought the truck "naked", no tailgate,no tonneau cover, no bedliner. so we started with buying:

Bedrug Bedliner
Truxport Tonneau Cover
Tailgate from a salvaged RAM
new General Grabber AT² tires (all 4 were worn) changed from 245/70R17 to 265/70R17
replaced the original Headunit through a Alpine IVA-D106R with flip up display
KC HiLights behind the front grill
rear cam under the rear bumper
tinted side and rear windows
Flowmaster American Thunder super 44 Cat Back 1 in 2 exhaust

the chrome on the front grill was damaged so i scraped it off and painted the grill.

I also wraped the upperside of the headlights white.


for this year are on the mod list:

Rollpan
remove taillights
new rims
new tires
Mcgaughys dropkit 4/6
complete the audio system (had a lot of stuff from my last car, should work in the Reg Cab ;) )

Rollpan and new taillights are somewhere on a ship on the way to us...

it´s done... The rollpan arrived last week and today we removed the ugly rear bumper (heavy piece of sh**t) and bold the rollpan on. now it´s got to be painted and she´s got to be lowered asap.

it´s finaly done

well... last week i got my truck back from the garage. They changed the crankshaft seal and did another "little" modification, a McGaughys 4"/6" drop kit:naughty:

The only issue i have is with the lower ball joint nut. they cut of the excess threads so the original 17 will fit but the tires are to high. they called me to bring my aftermarket wheels (KMC XD Series Addict 17-inch) but they also wont fit because of the nut. has anyone had some issue with these wheels and that front drop?

Looks good. I never was a fan of dropping and having a roll pan but I actually like it with the white truck, especially with that led brake light bar. I also really like the shaved tailgate handle. Do you have a hidden hitch anywhere or do you just not tow with it?
