Whats up everyone. Just purchased a 2012 Ram 1500 Express, 1500, 5.7, 4x4, white. Pretty plain Jane truck, but I like it. A few things that are happening pretty quickly:
Swapping my Kenwood 9980, backup camera, PTT, ect from my jeep.
35% tint on the front windows.
Backflip tonneau cover
Viper alarm w/ remote start
De-badging
Powder coating the 17's black.
As soon as RIPP finishes developing their supercharger kit, that will be going in, along with a cat-back system.

I got the truck to daily drive and use as a tow rig for my '08 Rubicon. Rubi was my DD, then the mods got out of control:
Vortech blower (RIPP)
Custom 3-link w/ remote coil overs, about 4" lift
37" Maxxis Trep stickies on Spderlocks
Corner armor, sliders, steel fenders, full skids
4.88's
Front D44: sleeved, gusseted, trussed, RCV's, Reid knuckles
Rear D44: trussed, chromo shafts
Woods 1310 drivelines
Synergy weld-in roll cage
That covers most of it...

I've been a frequent supporter of JeepForum, looking forward to web wheeling with y'all! Oh yeah, pics to come soon, I'm on my mobile, just registered.

Very nice!! My color :) Welcome!

Yeah I had to match the JK, nothing worse than a tow rig that doesn't match your toys :D it might be to a fault but I'm about to start building a buggy on a Jimmy Smith chassis (blown big block, rockwells, atlas, ect) and I'll be powder coating that frame white also.

Thanks for the welcomes fellas. I decided on adding a few extras to the audio when I do the install. All Hertz components, JL 5 channel amp, 2 JL 10" subs. Might as well get it finished while I've got the dash apart...should be finished Tuesday/Wednesday
