Default Thanks for all your help. Here's a photo of my truck

The previous owner before me never took care of it.
I have replaced both rusted doors (did it myself).
Added the Pro Rack on the back plus tool box
Upgraded the tires and wheels to Toyo Open Country AT 265/70R17
Painted the step bar with bedliner black paint
Painted the chrome front and rear bumpers with rubberized black paint with clear coat on top to keep it shiny
Added the bug shields on the hood
Fixed the A/C so it works now
One of my remaining project is to install the Katzkin leather car seat covers. It's actually not really seat covers as it literally replaces the factory seat material

Thanks for all the help I have gotten from this site.

(dakotas ram), I will post more photos of the painted bumper later this week. I sanded the chrome lightly and applied a coat of bumper high adhesive paint, then two coats of rubbized black paint and two coats of clear coat paint to keep it from looking too flat and eventually faded.

(miami son), you truck is sharp! Love it!!!!

Default More photos before and after

YOu can see some before and after photos of the truck including the painted bumper.

I have photos of the rotted doors and the process of replacing the old doors too. Will have to dig those up.

Does anyone think I should paint the grill black too? I am afraid it will take away the aggressiveness look of the RAM. Your thoughts?
