Ram mods

[Tom]

Ordered parts to switch my 2011 ram slt from chrome bumpers/grill to body color and add the fog lights and dual exhaust. Also ordered a magnaflow catback.


Here is my truck now:

Engine and trans are in the car, just needs wired up, custom axles and probably custom wheels

The mod bug is already hitting me with my f150 now as well. It's definitely an obsession to get them the way you want them.

If they would just get the idea already and start selling everything with more than 700 hp and ridiculous good looks for dirt cheap.

Gawd!

Looks like some nice stuff. I really like the factory dual exhaust.

Looks way better without all the chrome

Yeah, I never liked the chrome, but it was cheaper to get one with the chrome and switch it over. This is all I'm doing to it this year (except maybe some tint), maybe next year I'll get some nicer wheels for it.

[Monkeygrits]

That looks a lot better for sure. I like the factory Duel exhaust. I want to find an fx4 grille for mine along with the black headlights and tailights. I think I'm keeping the chome bumpers though because the damn ford painted bumpers have an issue with rusting after they get chipped. Magnaflow makes a duel side exit exhaust that comes out in front of the rear passenger tire for the f150. I'm gonna try to sneak one of this on there without the wife seeing it in the spring I think lol.

[Tom]

I've always liked how the fx4s looked. My chrome bumper was starting to rust some, hopefully the painted one holds up better. The ram has more rus underneath it than my fiero, its a shame that they use cheaper metals or something on them now.

I think they cheap out on coating the undercarriage. I just sprayed the inside of my fenders, cab corners, and rockers with fluid film. Stuff is supposed to prevent rust really well. Hopefully it helps. Gotta get a few more cans. I also took off all those butyl patches they have covering the holes to access inside the rockers and cab corners and replaced them with window flashing tape I got at the hardware store. Trying to keep all that dirt/salt/water from getting in there and rotting it from the inside out.

I added some oem flares and found a set of oem 20s on craiglist. I'll put the 20s on when the 17s tires run out (since I just put new tires on...). I'm also going to paint the 20s black, at the same time ill probably paint the door handles black too. It kind of looks like it skipped leg say with the flares and 17s lol.

Black 20's FTW, lol

The 20s look so much better than the 17s! I actually like the style of the 17s, but they are only 7" wide so you can only put tiny tires on them (I have 31" tires now), I'm going to go with 275/65/20s on the 20s which should be about 1" larger than the stock 20" tire (will be 34" total)

[Martin0660]

Did you get any idea of a weight difference? We was speculating about trying a set of 17's on my truck at the track ...

[Tom]

The 20s felt somewhat heavier, but I haven't lifted them back to back yet
