It is hard to miss...The only camper-topped red ram with 33" terra grapplers i've seen around here....I'll send you a PM next time I am DJing down at the Sphere at Harrah's Tunica. Maybe you could come out and party!

i have a red pinstripe on my truck....thats why! gosh i wasnt really thinking posting a picture of a cai i made on the internet would have people as rialed up about the color. haha. but its red valspar spraypaint. and i used sandpaper...pvc pipe....superglue...paint...ruberhose....mettal pipe(for the back holding bracket....a sheet of 24x24" sheet metal(for the airfilter heet protector)(which acually is bolted to the body to hold up the front of the thing) and a spectra air filter. the filter was about $20 and the rest was another $35. so around $60 for the whole thing. DIY is the bomb! seriously....doing all the work yourself is more fun and saves some serious cash in these hard times!!! i just painted my emblems on the tailgate satin black this weekend...ill have pics later when it stops raining here in ATL
