When did Ring Gear bolts get so ******* expensive. FML... lol... Might as well buy a complete rebuild kit at that price it will end up cheaper :birgits_tiredcoffee

All I need is the bolts and both carrier bearings... lol...

What type of locker comes with the off road package ram half tons, and rebels…the one with the push button on the dash? Im assuming some type of electric locker. Couldnt that be implemented into your axle?


And sorry to hear about the pooch. We just put one of ours down a few months back. No matter how long and great of a life they had, it never seems long enough.
Yes. E locker. It’s currently not available for purchase though unless you buy the entire axle assembly from ram. Not sure why. Or at least I haven’t found anyone with one for sale. That’s honestly why I’m leaning towards an air locker anyways. Better reliability and more options for fluid

I have been interested in custom mini led projector with a separate led high beam in a quad housing but can’t bring myself to spend that kind of money on this truck. My led bulbs do well enough

Same here. I push bush with my truck... You should see how scratched my lenses are, lol... So There's no way id spend that kind of coin for looks.

Was able to finally get the holes drilled for the 2" Air Lift spacers today as well. I hope this is the last time I got to take that crap appart... lol...

I also ordered new Side Steps, Getting rid of those chrome running boards after supper.

Decided to use DV8 Offroad TCGL-01 tire carrier And for the front bumper ive settled on the Chassis Unlimited Octane Series, seems to me that its the only one with good approach angle and that has a winch mount. The AEV is super nice but it dosent fit the style of my build.

My Chrome delete is almost done :cool: Just need to find an OEM black grill and get rid of my chrome handles.
