Really like how your truck sits. Nice stance.

Thank you. Rough county 4.5" lift. 37" milestar tires on fuel 20" wheels. When I get more money to invest into her, it will be extended swaybar endlinks, stiffer coils for the rear, white knuckle offroad sliders, the locker mod, I've got to relocate the sub amp and the dsp behind the rear seats, I'm debating between the vararam and a functional aftermarket hood or the aev snorkel, bigger rear sway bar, klien train horn system, I'd love a larger fuel tank, then when the warranty is over, long tube headers, a tune, and idk what else lol

Tire shop tried giving me **** saying they wouldn't fit. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] now to get the tailgate painted black like the mango power wagon from sema.

So I was wondering how your liking the Milestar Patagonia M/T tires?

The price is tempting. I can get 5 Milestar tires for less than 4 Cooper tires.

Lights. Gets some lights! Your making an overlander truck right? Add that to the wish list. I like Vision X or Ridged the best.
RC has some lights and good specs but I never tried their lights. Just their spod.

sorry for the long hiatus everyone. had some stuff i had to deal with. im back though and look what i did.... I went and got the POWERWAGON - DODGE - TRUCK PRODUCTS (chassisunlimited.com) Octane front and rear bumpers. For those of you who run a steel cable, warn makes this WARN HAWSE FAIRLEAD FOR STEEL CABLE (chassisunlimited.com). Now i just need to decide on who to use for the 4 led pods i need for the front and the 2 for the rear. i read the thread about the sidetracked off road ones, and im going to reach out to them to see how the usage life is on them. since the Baja Designs - Dodge, Ram 2500/3500 (10-18),1500 (09-12) SAE Fog Pocket Kits are a bit pricey. I do like the RIGID RADIANCE 3" LED PODS (PAIR) (chassisunlimited.com) with the red blacklight leds... might do those for the fronts and some regular floods for the rear.. plus i need some UBER D Rings - Red (2PK) with AntiTheft UBERLock System | 80,000 lbs M – GearAmerica for the front and rear plus a FlatLink MultiMount | Factor 55 or a UltraHook | Factor 55... hmmmm

Coming along!

got the front bumper finished yesterday. very happy with how everything turned out. the hardest part was hooking the electrical back up for the winch. still need to do some aligning of the sides so they sit level with the headlights. i'll most likely be ordering all the lights in february. if we can get that 2k stimulus then ill get either the white knuckle off road frame sliders or the long tube headers... not sure which. headers are going to require a tune... so hmmmmm

Man i wanna like this bumper so much but i hate the winch placement and the fact they force you to put a big gaudy light bar in the bumper. I keep trying to talk myself into it but I think an HCC is my fist pick. The price on these is killer though

I actually like the winch placement. its not that bad of an angle. plus the control hookup gets moved to somewhere that you can actually get to it. the freespool level is easily accessable, and i did want the integrated light bar cutout so that works well for my needs. you can also put 8 3" pods if you didnt want to do a lightbar. The only thing i dont like is that my mileage went to **** lol. i think its the extra drag from being less aerodynamic than the stock bumper... could be cause im lifted 4.5" too. anyways i was getting 14-15 MPG before both bumpers and now its staying at 12.9-13. the battery was unplugged for like 3 days so maybe i wasnt getting accurate computer generated miles on the cluster. either way next time i fill up i will track it and let you all know. im still waiting on the fairlead. the factor 55 flat link multi came in today, but the fairlead was delayed due to weather as its coming from PA. should be here tuesday and i have some gear america stuff on the way too.
