Xrsman 2014 Ram Build Thread

[xrsman]

Put it to work last week! I cut down 5 small/medium trees into 16" logs and threw them in the trailer.

Yeah it's great! I'm the Canadian rep for the product so up until recently it's just been a show piece to show dealers. I'm starting to use it more now though! It's a 6'10x12 14,000 GVWR Moritz Dump trailer. The most overbuilt dump in it's class!

Here are some more pics of it:

Great looking Trailer. I don't really know what I would use it for, but would like one of them.

Thanks yeah it really comes in handy! I haul my tractor in it, gravel, wood, and metal scrap.

That is one sexy trailer....

Just picked up my Mopar rubber bedmat today. First impressions are that build quality could be better. It had to be lined up perfectly to sit in there. Otherwise the wheel wells would raise a corner of it. That being said it's pretty heavy so I doubt it'll move until I take it out next time.

After getting it aligned I took off my tonneau cover so the sun can flatten it out in the bed.

I paid $67 for it! Chrysler sent me a $150 credit for parts so.i used it on the bed mat. Cost is $250 but when I asked the dealer if he could do any better he dropped that to $217 tax in. So for $67 I'm pretty happy with it!

Hey, I wanted to tell ya, I got the body lift on last month and looks great. Everyone that said they don't like body lifts said it looks awesome. The hitch area in the back looks fine. Not a big deal at all. Just installed some Fuel Nutz rims with mastercraft mxt's tonight. Pics to follow on a new thread.

Glad to hear it man! These rams really hide body lifts well!

Body Lift

You said it was a 3In PA body lift, I love this look and want to put it on my white 2013 Ram 1500.. Where did you get it? what brand? What price? How much did you pay for install?

Truck is AMAZING I am contemplating doing that light bar style too!

So clean..

Thanks for the inspiration!

Thanks man!

I paid $1900 all in for the level, body lift, and install. Then $200 to align the exhaust and install my 5" tips. $90 for the gap guards. I bought it all from H&H Offroad in Peterborough Ontario.

I bought some LED pods from amazon for $55, figured if they weren't that good I didn't have much invested. Turns out they work great!

I bolted them to the hitch on the truck. Soldered the connections and then added heat shrink tubing and tape over that. Hooked both together and then ran them to the passengers side tail light. I tapped into the + & - wires on the reverse light and it works perfectly!

Mounted and running wires:



Only thing that bugs me is that they're on on a bit of an angle. The hitch isn't flat so there wasn't anything I could do, well without any fab work, which I didn't want to bother with! Lol I did straighten the left pod a bit after I took this pic.

Outside:



I can actually use my mirrors now to back up, first time I've been able to do that with this truck, even with the $30 / bulb LED reverse light replacements! I'm very happy with how they turned out!

I would put them on a switch if I were you. I use mine all the time even when I'm not just backing up. For example if you are working at night, fishing, unloading the truck, or just have some jack ass up your ass on the highway. Lol

I thought about a switch, but I would find that to be a pain. I'm more of a get in and go kind of guy, I don't like having to flip switches before I do something lol

It would be a SPDT like my light bar, but then you have wires going everywhere and need a relay lol

Lol too bad you don't live closer, would be a piece of cake with those. I have about 10 switches in my truck that do different things and all of them have relays and fuses. Not hard at all.

 

[CMil527]

Nice too have those on a switch when someones riding your ass!!

Here's a little before and after. The first picture is with just the low beams and fogs on. The second is with the lows, fogs and LED Light Bar on. Huge difference!

I've got a couple more things waiting for install, so stay tuned!

I have a 2015 and want to put a light bar in... damn, that is bright! what is the link to the bar? how many lumens? did you need any additional mounting parts?

Anything you can do to help would be awesome.

Also, i'm concerned with the location, any dings or dents to date?

BTW, the most impressive truck I've seen. Great work, you are a testament to what OCD is capable of, I love it.

Thanks man! Not sure on the lumens, but it's crazy bright.

Here's a link to the bumper mount package. The owners are actually buddy's of mine so they based the package off my truck.

The only thing that has happened was I tried to drive through a waist high snowbank and snapped one of the mounts. Opps lol!





Other than that no dings or scratches on it.
