That looks better bud, but I still dont think that bumper flows well with the truck...but if you like it, rock out with your ummmm Ram out...lol

I would do that if I felt like putting that much money into lift, tires, and wheels alone. Plus I'd rather do it to a 4x4 and I'm not sure how long I'll keep the current truck either

Ive never been a fan of the stump jumper, but on a non lifted truck, they dont look right. Once you lift it it will look better!!

I like where you are going with it tho!!! I cant wait to watch the build!

Thanks Kevin! Btw where did you get the move decal?

**Onk** · 04-26-2012, 04:49 AM

Had a local shop do it.

Thinking about getting some of this for the caps and stuff in the engine bay, Duplicolor MC100 - Anodized Paint | O'Reilly Auto Parts
Duplicolor MC200 - Anodized Paint | O'Reilly Auto Parts

Pretty much since our caps are plastic you spray the base coat(first link) which will give it the anodized finish on plastic and then you spray the finish coat(second link). Anybody ever use that?

And thinking about doing red calipers and the black chrome paint on my badges instead of pd. Opinions?

Anything Duplicolor is pretty decent as long as you prep well.

Good to know. I'm probably gonna wait awhile on the underhood painting stuff until duplicolor carries my body color and then I'll do it all at once or until I can afford to buy another engine cover and do it in hemi orange and then the current one in body color to decide which I like better in person

So might get some taillight guards ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/09-11-Dodge-...ht_2262wt_1165 ) to complete the kinda offroad look that I have going on with the front bumper and the rear bumper that's gonna be like the front. Here's the bumper btw, Frontier Truck Gear - Diamond Back Bumpers Gallery Just not sure if I'm gonna go no exhaust cutout like the first pic or with exhaust cutout like the other one on the 1500

And think I might do an intake like this to get rid of the factory air intake tube, 3.5" PIPE DODGE RAM 1500 2500 SXT SLT 5.7 5.7L V8 HEMI COLD AIR INTAKE 2009-2010 | eBay but make it use the factory airbox and have either black or red couplers and maybe paint the tube
