Today was a good day

[Phylodog]

I've been searching for a used cap for my truck for six weeks and haven't had any luck. Yesterday I decided that I was done looking and just needed to bite the bullet and order one. I got up this morning and drove across town to place the order for an ARE V Series for my RCSB. When I pulled into the lot I noticed a rack with 8 different caps on it, one of them a black ARE. I didn't look too long, just told myself "don't bother getting your hopes up".

I went inside and started talking with the guys and told them what I was after. One of them says "I think I've got one outside that'll work", a few minutes later he confirmed it and I couldn't believe it. I had already accepted that I was going to wait a month but there it was. I wasn't going to buy anything fancy, just the base model. This one has fold out side windows, a sliding/fold in front window and and the luggage rack tracks up top. Ended up costing me $150 more than I would have spent but I figured the added features and lack of wait was more than worth it.



Came home, walked in the door and my wife tells me UPS stopped by and the delivery guy was nice enough to stack my new wheels in the garage. I ordered them from Custom Offsets four days ago and the receipt email said to expect 10-15 days for delivery.



35" Nitto Ridge Grapplers will be ordered Monday and I'll be done spending big chunks of change on her for awhile. I was supposed to be out of town on a business trip this weekend, glad it got cancelled!

No, these are 20's. Looks like I'll be adding a rear spacer too, she's sagging just a bit too much as it sits.

Looks great with the cap. Kind of looks like an old ramcharger.

Thanks fellas, she's coming together just how I'd envisioned. I wanted a bit more lift but I think she's gonna stay where she is.

Looks good sir.....I want one but wife said not for about another 20 years.

Definitely looks sharper with the cap added in my opinion.

Looks awesome!

I'm not a big fan of the RCSB trucks. They always looked a bit comical to me.
Out of proportion somehow, like a kids toy, just in full size. Sorry, can't explain it any better.
Same goes for the toppers. I always found they destroyed the lines of our pick-up trucks.

But that one - Just perfect! Actually the first RAM with a topper I really like!
Well done, Sir!

I feel the same way about toppers... I think they are so ugly and ruin trucks. Just buy a suv or suburban lol.

But as for your feelings about RCSB rams.... I believe they look out of proportion when lifted. They look so dumb. But when stock height or lowered they look amazing. The only trucks that should be lifted are crew/Quad cabs.

Well folks this is THE forum and we all have our likes and dislikes lol. The great part is that we are all Ram owners and that's a bond that no matter what we all share.
