So which one is that one? Lol
A green 95 ram 1500 excab 4x4. Got it with brand new dualer mts runs and drives has 158k on it built 318, and beefed up trans. Has every receipt from day one.

I traded the jeep to two trucks. the leafspring shackles are busted in the rear. it came with new replacements too.

The 01 is just a parts truck. 5.9 magnum automatic.

Spent all day working on my sister's car while the truck was in the alignment shop (4 hours). Never noticed how much play I used to have until I got the steering all replaced. **** is super sensitive now. With the new shocks it feels like I'm riding on a cloud though :crazy:

Spent 8 hours changing the leaf spring mounts on the rear of the 95. Had to grind 8 rivits off and get the old mounts off. Bought some grade 8s and bolted the new mounts to the frame. Got everything mounted back up and this thing runs and drives like a dream.

Oh yea and I painted the back of the cab while I had the bed off lol

May build a lil bigger heavier duty C-channel bumper for the rear.

Started pulling the chrome rocker covers off so I can get it bed lined Tuesday and found a 4th gen bumper I may pick up for the swap since I'm losing the grill guard and my factory bumper is beat to hell

No my truck isn't 4x4 and yes it's still dented but it's dented less and it opens and closes normally unlike the original tailgate. It was free all I had to do was swap my latches and handle into it.

Today I swapped trans filter fluid and gasket. No more leak. Changed vehicle speed sensor in rear axle and pulled cover off. It needs a new gasket, was rtvd. Changed engine oil and filter. Swapped spark plugs. Inflated air bags. Installed new gas filler neck and hose. When gaskets come I'll pull front diff cover and swap tcase fluid. Still don't have speedometer, wiring must be chewed up, it looks like it. Getting code for o2 sensor high voltage. Seems to be reading a 1v+. Another list of **** to do

Idk like never. I need to get doors with power windows and locks and then get my windows tinted. Also lift the front. Then I'll worry about cosmetics.

Bumpers before lift. :word:
Washed it for the first time in months

Looking good, looks so much better without that added lift.
