Congrats to @Spike95 for his TOTM win!!

Here is a little info from the owner. And be sure to check out his restoration thread below.


This is my 2001 Ram Sport 1500 4x4 5.9. One owner. I ordered her from the factory exactly the way I wanted and she’s been a daily driver for most of the time since. Has 230k miles and celebrated her 21st birthday in August. Over the last year or so I have been doing some mild restoration and tasteful upgrades. I’m trying to stay true to the look of the late 90s-early 00s. I only did a 2” level, but went the extra mile of upgrading all the other front suspension parts with it even though it’s a small lift. Still has original paint, but I plan to do a respray some time in the next couple years just to freshen up the little flaws.

Some of the recent upgrades and repairs…
-2008+ 3/4ton steering linkage with a matching mopar stabilizer
-adjustable RareParts track bar
-MetalCloak control arms
-2” SuspensionMax leveling kit
-SuspensionMax sway bar links
-Bilstein shocks
-steering gearbox stabilizer bracket
-4.10 gears (with factory limited slip)
-external trans cooler

-shift kit
-Hughes plenum fix
-Mopar performance double roller timing chain

-new injectors
-Magnaflow Cat and Muffler
-American Racing Baja wheels
-Cooper Discoverer 295/75r16 (33.5”)
-new set of Carr steps

-new headlights and fog lights
-Pioneer head unit
-Powered 8” sub hidden under middle seat

-sound deadened the doors
-baseball stitched a Wheelskins steering wheel cover
-new driver seat cushion from Geno’s
-new window tint

-disassembled the interior, deep cleaned the carpet, light restoration of the seat bracket/slider assemblies

-new all weather floor mats
-lots of other little interior repairs

I’m certain I’ve probably missed some things, but for more details, here’s a thread of the restoration work I’ve been doing.

Congratulations @ Spike95!!! Since I'm emulating what you are doing, I hope to be TOM in the near future. Just ordered my 35" tires, 4.65 gears and Eaton Truetrac LS front and rear... Make that the distant future, funds are running out.
