I am fairly new to this Fourm and all i gotta say is good job with your truck. Guys stop dissing on him he put all this work into his truck just like the rest of us. He just took it in another direction. So if you have negative comments, write them down, put them in a bottle and throw it in the ocean and hope someone cares to read them. So far on this Fourm i have not yet seening a truck i dislike, they are all trucks that we put are money into to make them the wasy (WE) want them to look. So stop hating on each other.. LOWERED TRUCKS, LIFTED TRUCK.... There all made by dodge, and they all are RAM's. Right.. If your going to Hate go on to other fourms such as Chevy, Ford, Toyota, Nissan. We choose are trucks for a reason...


Keep up the Work man

What's the MPG on that $15,000 motor...sure it's alot turnin those 40's...I didn't build a drag truck...or a track truck...I built a truck to drive daily...snag trophies at every show it goes to...and to be 100% functional. Id say my "Worthless" "runined" truck is head over heals more functional than yours...I'm sure goind through drive-thrus is a dream in that monstrousity...Me in you are in the same boat man...we both have truck to the max...just different ends of the spectrum...mines just a lot more functional for everyday driving than yours.
Im really starting to like this guy! LOL!!!!!

very nice work. dont let anyone bother you with what you call "bashing". to each his own, everyone has their own tastes. i think your truck is absolutely sick, and i personally could never fund such a build, therefore you are greater than i lol. and temple huh....my brother just moved there to take a trainmaster job.

I respect the work on the truck so don't take this the wrong way when I ask this... but how the hell do you expect to haul a load of firewood as large in your truck as his could haul? And also how do you expect to pull 10,000 lbs? a 6 axle trailer maybe so the weight isn't all on your dropped to the ground truck? I mean even with those bags full, there is absolutely no way you could have a tongue weight of more than a 1000 lbs on your truck...

This is why I like a truck that is moderately lifted or moderately lowered. I think the most functional truck on the road is a truck with very delicate touches to it, I am not bashing any of the super lifted trucks(which I do like) or the super lowered trucks(that are not my cup-o-tea you could say) just that a truck that is most functional is a truck that has very minor modifications. I mean I don't see trophy trucks driving down the road because that functionality isn't there, and I don't see any super low-riders hauling double axle horse trailers with 3 horses in the back as well.

Just my .02 all. Don't think I am a hater, or a jacka$$, or whatever possible terms you can come up with.

Were all aware of why you hate my truck...you hate everything...your a city boy who drives a 4x4 everyday. How miserable your life must be...did you have to leave the hose running in the backyard to get that muddy pic in your avatar...seriously dude...do everyone a favor and move out to the country so your truck can be used for what it was made for...maybe you'll be in a better mood then.


Cherry...are you seriously that uneducated...all newer 18 wheelers use air bags to handle the weight that they carry...airbags will help carry heavy weight...hence the terms "Helper bags"...even most trailers have air bags now...they carry tons of weight. Hell even tractor tires are an example...majority of rear tractor tires have 13 psi in them...the tires on our trucks carry the weight of our trucks at 32 psi...my bags are rated to 200 psi...they are capable of lifting 2800lbs each...I have 4...2 rear and 2 front...even if you add in the weight of the truck I still have 3,100lbs of excess lifting power in the rear of my truck. Something tells me your a slow learner so i'll give you some visual examples...The black/Orange Kodiak hauls that 3 car wedge all over the country to car shows...including a annual trip from Texas to Vegas for Sema every year. The white dodge is used to carry heavy machinery back in forth from jobsites...not to mention the vehicles he carries to truck shows...the Flamed red chevy can be seen at truck shows all over the country pulling that exact rig...The all Red Chevy pulled that enclosed trailer from Houma, LA to Vegas for Sema...

Seriously guys I can post pictures of bagged trucks doin work all day long...this is dumb...if you don't like it fine...but it's no less of a truck then the one you got sittin in your driveway...only difference is I can go to shows and win trophies.

Enlighten me aftbig, just what do you think you are winning here? The "I can be a more arrogant jerk than you contest"?

Lose the holier than thou attitude or find yourself another place to post your pics.

Your work is very nice and your knowledge would be a plus to be shared with the few on here into lowered trucks. But your attitude sucks!!!

and to the rest of y'all, keep the "I hate lowered trucks" crap to yourselves as well! The "I really appreciate your effort but I hate your truck" sh*t don't fly either. If you don't like it, don't post in the thread...
