I like the work you had done. I could have done some major mods myself on my truck, but I am married
i am also married and my mrs was all for it believe it or not. she picked rims, tires, etc.

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.

Truck looks incredible but I think is really being held back by the lesser chrome pieces (bug guard, rain guard, rear view mirrors)

i agree. i am going to put a cb in it also, any suggestions of a good one with a cool echo?

If @averageguy didn't chime in it may be good to hit him up (PM) as he would likely be a very good authority and may be able to recommend an amp for it as well (depending on how far you're looking to transmit).

maybe I missed this but all of that work and you keep the ugly yellow bilstein anti hop pumpkin shock? I know they make a bilstein 5100 for the application that would look a bit better. having said that it's a nice truck.

Sorry but worse because they are cheap accessories that just clip on. The rest of it looks amazing.
the mirrors do yes but the bug shield and vent visors are not. im not sure there is a better quality of either on the market.
