wow thats some nice articulation! Is your suspension all stock?

 

my ram is old enough that it still has a fuel filter under the hood and some type of filter screen in the tank.

 

I just aquired a 2001 Dodge 1500 2wd from the inlaws. 88K and seems to run good.
Last week I dropped a bunch of money on new lower ball joints and hub assemblies. New tires too.

Today I installed a 2 in drop kit shackles in the rear.
Today I installed a old used JVC cd player. I pulled the door panels and replaced the 2 6x9 speakers in the front doors.
Today I installed a set of Putco half size stainless fender trim. Not sure yet if I like it.
Today I installed a K&N filter in the OEM housing. Had it laying around from another Dodge I owned years ago.
Today I undercoated the rear wheel wells so front and rear are black.
Today I installed 4 Mopar splash guards, frt and rear

I think I'll drive it around for awhile now.

 

Plasti dipped wheels today.

 

I decided to have a look at my sparkplugs and boy was I surprised to see that two of the plugs were cracked bad. I will never buy Autolites again. Yes the proper socket was used to install and remove them. I also think I am still running to lean.



To lean and clean

 

Shampooed my carpet today, better than it was. Thinkin bout replacin with vinyl down the road.

 

Got some more parts in today. My water pump/timing gasket kit and injector o-rings arrived. Now just waiting on my water pump and valve covers to come in and I will be ready to start my plenum project. Kinda looking forward to tearing into it... in a masochistic kind of way.
One thing is for sure, freakin parts add up fast!!

 

Worked on my younger brothers 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 2WD. Didn't start until 9 PM and installed ball joints and leveling kit on one side of his pickup, finishing up at about midnight. Tomorrow, complete the other side and mod his throttle body. Gonna run like a champ now!

 

Got the 4.56's installed in rear along with Yukon LSD. Disconnected front driveshaft so I could drive it out of the shop for few days until stuff slows down there. Drove it for 20 or so miles and instantly noticed a huge difference. I haven't gotten in on it because I am going to break them in properly, but just going up hills was incredible, no more bogging or struggling.

 

Probably gonna remove my topper today, and put the roll bar back in. Gonna be almost 80 today
