2x I think you should paint the black part on yer taillights to match your truck...
I hate those tail lights, and will be getting an OEM set (with black on the outside) whenever I feel like spending the $40 bucks haha

Thank you! Cost me $6 for the can of Semi Flat Krylon anti-rust and stole my friend's wife's SOS pad to clean the center caps and nuts

Tires look good on there! Will you wash mine?
Pay my gas, feed me, and I will be on my way tomorrow morning. I have nothing to do till work on tuesday, so in all seriousness if you want/need any help with anything this weekend, truck related or not, and can do those things, I would love to come hang out

I hate red vehicles, but the red on this truck is growing on me the more chrome I trash and black I add...
Got my 315/75/16 Falken Rocky Mountain ATS's on today! They look awesome! I hear lots of good things about these tires, and I hope they last a long time. Paid $995, but I get a mail in rebate, so really $895. That's WAY less than anyone else could quote me. EDIT: I bought the tires from Discount Tire Direct in Longview Texas.
Nice addition dude. Those come out to 32" tires, if my math is right?

You have an inner tube on the mid section?

If you like, I could also pull my alignment spec sheets before/after just as a reference for you. IIRC, I didn't detect any difference in driving, but upon doing the alignment, it had appreciable change in "toe-in".

Yes I do, and it handled the freeway like a champ today! I might put it back on in the future.
You are full of crap. I just noticed, yours is a long bed?

I would like to see that, although I probably won't really know what I am looking at haha

Yes. 2500's didn't come with regular cab/short beds in America. These trucks look best with an 8 foot bed anyway
Went to the river yesterday, wasn't paying attention when I turned around to jump off a Honda Accord, and got the passenger front tire stuck in a hole about a foot and a half deep, luckily there was enough bodies around to put enough weight back on the driver rear tire to get enough traction to back out, damn open diff......
I probably could have muscled out going forward but the river was just a few feet away, and the sand is SOFT.... Didn't wanna push my luck.
Took my Ram on a journey today, a 500 mile round trip. Up and down a few passes too! Got 12.5 MPG, lol!
I thought my truck did OK at least better than I expected in the passes.
took one ram on a 700 mile trip to nashville and back and got the doors hung and close in alignment and the drivers side fender on and most of the inner stuff hooked up
