Xrsman 2014 Ram Build Thread

[xrsman]

Cool, another thing, couple months back a buddy that does tinting and things installed led lights under my bed rails. They keep coming down. What did u use for adhesive?

I put gorilla glue on mine and they've held. One steady stream of the glue, I didn't just dot it on!

Was looking at your post on gassers thread about spacers. I'm gonna keep my Laramie stockers for winter. I will need spacers. I don't want to stick out too far either. So my stockers are 0 offset, I believe? Then a 10mm spacer would equal a -10 offset?

No your stocks are a +20 offset. You can get by with 1/4" spacers if you don't want the tires sticking out too far. Personally I'm not a fan of the plate spacers, but some guys have had good luck with them.

If you want an offset like a -10 you'll need to get BORA 1.5" wheel adaptors. These are the best, and you'll pay for the best. I believe mine were $55 per adaptor. But it's worth it when you're talking wheels!

If you go any smaller than 1.5" you would need to trim your factory wheel studs.

If you want the -12 look, go with the BORA adaptors for the winter, you can always sell them after you're done and buy the wheels you want!

My offset with 1.5" adaptors (-12) 325/60/20 duratracs on stocks

Do you sling a lot of salt and **** with your setup? That's the reason I didn't want to stick out too far. I'm looking at 12.5 wide. I think your Dura's are 13.5 if I remember right.

My local tire shop says it would be about $90 each time to change out the rubber from rim to rim (season to season). I wonder how the chrome aftermarkets would take the salt?

I do but the fender flares really help!

Here's what it looked like in the spring



The duratracs are about 13" wide but that's because there is tread on the sidewalls too. The tread width is 12.5".

If you wash the wheels regularly than you shouldn't have a problem!

So 1.5 adaptors for stocks
If I buy aftermarkets and only want to go to the flares, what should I buy?
20x9? 20x10? 0 offset?

I'm not sure to be honest. If you get the big bushwacker flares a -12 offset would probably come very close to flush. With 0 offset wheels you'd probably want .5" - .7" spacers, but to do that you'd have to cut your wheel studs

Ah, I was thinking if stocks are +20 then order something like 0. I'll have to look into it a little further.

Light Bar

What is this light bar called on their site? Is it built to go under the bumper? All of my buddies have theirs mounted on the roof and yours looks much less obnoxious and I want one on my 2013 1500!!

Beautiful truck man.

So a couple buddies of mine opened a LED Lighting company up here in Canada, Reckless Industries. They hooked me up with a 50" curved LED Light bar for my truck! We mounted it underneath the bumper. I've attached pics of where the mounts bolt into. The 50" curved fits perfectly in there! When we took the wind deflector off there just so happened to be 2 holes already in the frame exactly where we needed the mounts to go! All we needed to do was bolt them in.


Next we mounted the light bar and wired it up. I used a SPDT (on/off/on switch) switch so that I could have it on when the truck is off, off completely, or on when the high beams turn on. It works like a charm!

I either love or hate that interior, can't quite make up my mind!

You love the interior and just a question, but why do you have an F-150 as your signature?

Little update:

I installed some bed lights in the truck! Just need to get some plastic tubing to cover up the wires and it's good to go!

Bought 16' of LED lights on ebay, used 10' under the truck and 6' in the box!

Do you have a link to the led strips you bought ?

No sorry I don't know what ones they were. I just searched ebay.ca for led strips. The company I bought them from was out of Toronto, Expert Island is the company name.
