New Member - '12 Express

[awwdude]

Hey Everyone,

I just picked up a 2012 Ram 1500 Express last week and LOVE IT!!

For the last week, I've been using this forum extensively as a visitor and decided I might as well just join. This forum has been invaluable for 4th Gen information and hope to contribute to the knowledge.

I've owned cars until now and definitely regret never having a truck. I choose the Express for many reasons. Best looking regular cab, 20's, painted bumpers and grill, nice interior, many others, and of course the Hemi.

The sickness runs deep in me and I bought this truck with plans already laid out. I ordered McG's deluxe kit from Summit yesterday and arrives tomorrow. =P At the same time, Plasti-dip the badges and wheels. I have wheels picked out, but going to run blacked out stockers for a bit to see if I like the black rims. I really dig the craftsman trucks (nascar truck) look, so leaning towards those types of modifications. I'll try to do write-ups along the way because those seem invaluable.

So much for an "introduction"... look forward to seeing what we come up with for these Rams!!

Cheers

They are great looking trucks to begin with, then I found you guys and game over. Just hope I keep enough money to make the payments.

Hopefully get the 2/4 drop on this weekend, although I'm already considering just doing a 3/5 drop... DAMN YOU ALL! HAhaha.

Dont forget to tint the windows, makes a HUGE difference in looks!!

Here's my black express 4x4 quad cab. I have limo (5%) in the front and on the brow, and 5% laid on the factory tint in the rear.

Oh and DE-BADGE!!

Haha, Yea. I really thought about lowering this one (it IS a 2wd after all) But with my everyday commute, I think it'd just be annoying more than anything. I'm going with a 1.5" level when it comes time for new tires.

The waiting is killing me!

If I do the 2/4, I will be selling my leveling springs/shcoks.
