Well mine too, but it was wayyy better than $3500 to $4000.

I'm looking at another few hundred for coating...
$800 for 2 harbor freight 10k winches
and probably $500+ in name brand fog/driving lights.

Not to mention the cables to wire up the rear winch
2 new batteries: Odyessy 1500's or 1700's

Because lets face it, I've gone this far and I wouldn't only buy 1 new battery to go with my 4 yr old battery. And having a winch (let alone 2) is a big demand on a battery (new or old). I'm also looking into a 230+ amp alt.

These are all the reasons I'm not mounting the bumpers until I get the parts I need. Driving around without the lights and winches is like those ricers that drive their cars with a primered body kit and never get it painted, LMAO

 

Well if you are going to do it, do it right and from the sounds of things thats how you are doing it. Not really jealous though as its not really my cup of tea, I can think of plenty of other things that $2500+ could get me, but hey its your money, your truck, and its going to look damn good when its done. Cant wait to see some pics of it all put together!!!!

 

Thats ok, I know its not everyones cup of tea. Actually Truckin, my next Ram to mod would be a black (or red) version of your truck to make a really slick street truck. Nothing slammed with bags or anything, but lowered with a really nice motor under the hood. Those short wheel base, 2WD Ram's really fly with the 5.7.

Thanks for looking!

 

Well you hit the nail on the head, that is my goal for when I am done with it and Im getting really close too!! And its not that I dont like the bumper, it just wouldn't work on my truck is all.

Like I said before I cant wait to see everything on and done cause your truck is going to look really slick!!

 

WOW, those look heavy
