So what we have here is a 2017 RAM 2500 Tradesman Crew Cab 6.4L Hemi. This was purchased new in March of 2017. Currently, there is 8000 miles on it and when the build started, we had 7000 miles on her. Many thanks to the guys at Envision Metalworks Inc for doing such a superb job with all of the custom work. I couldn't have asked for a better job then what they did. They fabricated custom parts throughout the entire build, custom colors for the powder coating, and went above and beyond my expectations. I will be sending it back in the spring for some additional customizing but for now, she is done for this year. I am including some before and after pics.

I don't see a difference? lol. j/k/ Looks great. Not my thing but I can appreciate the effort that went into it. I have modded cars in my younger days but with all of the trucks I have owned the most modding I ever did was my old F250 I put better tires and wheels on it. Not bigger, just better. And dual exhaust on a few of them. That's it...lol. But I have built 650HP 11 second drag cars...lol

You know what? I was like "woah, ****!" when I saw the before and after. I'm not all into the lighting part, but that the tuck itself looks freakin' nice in my opinion! No ****, nice looking truck. My wife's response was the same as mine. She was initially like "that's not the same truck" and I had to show her the photos back and forth several times and she's normally not really vocal. But, she did say that it looks good too. Nice work!

Looks good! I like lights and chrome. In the trucking industry those are called "chicken lights". I don't know why, but here's a song about it if your into country.
as a matter of fact, i was a truck driver so chicken lights is a common term to me and i can tell you something, you can take the driver out of the truck, but you cant take the truck out of the driver!!!
