There are two sets of stars. They are bleeping out F Y C. and yeah, it's pretty ugly.

Just take the spaces out of it and it'll work. What does the censorship program on the site think that means anyway? eff your children?

Nice clean job, I for one like it!
Layin frame & tucking is not an easy feat, especially with a Dodge Ram.
Smoothed handles w/poppers, relocated most of the wiring, fuel tank, custom bag suspension etc etc etc.

Unfortunately some members here can not appreciate the work that goes into making a custom truck unless its lifted.
Just cause it doesnt fit your wants or needs doesnt make it wrong btw

Having a truck lowered like your indy or dakotas ram looks good but dragging the frame and making it look like it's having a seizure when it hits a pebble is just wrong.

My biggest complaint on that truck would be not going with bigger rims and keeping the bumper stock and not doing something with it, its not like he took a V8 truck and made it useless he started off with a V6.....I give credit on all the fab work but take allot of points for the bumper and rims

That truck looks great! Cool, clean, and custom. Needs some paint, though.

True dat. There are some hard-headed ****ers on this forum.

I disagree. dakotas ram is ugly as sin.
The whole point of bagging is to lay door at the show and drive home layin' frame and draggin. Just because you cant go muddin with it does not mean it is not cool.

I forgot what else I was gonna say. I was drooling thinking of Purpl layin' door.

Erm, how can you drive that???? Does he blow a little air into the bags to get it up off the ground some? I would really hate to imagine speed bumps in that.....

Given, that IS a hell of a lot of work, and some creative engineering to get it done. The shaved handles and such is a cool feature. But, lowering just isn't my style..... My firebird got closer to the ground, (from stock) but, that was to make it handle better..... (I LOVED freeway driving in that car, it was a blast.....)

To each their own though.

Everything. Its white, the abscence of color, the grille, stick on hood vents, and the wheels, oh the wheels. I'm just saying its not my style, as I can understand why someone would say the same about my truck. Its purple with an orange grille for god sakes, but in my mind I really like it, and thats all that matters! Thanks for reckonizing that I am entilted to my own opinion, I respect that.

Thats how baggin works. You put some air in the bags to get it off the ground so you can drive it....err you can just throw sparks!

Did he have to do that because they flew off when you hit the warp drive?
