well this is gunna start out as a build 'story' before i get into it.

I started this awesome silver(ish) 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 in a trade. My first ram was a black 1500 Sport. While i was deployed, i loaned my black sport to a friend.... and he beat the living snot out of it. there was too much damage to list, but after a new front end and a new tranny, she just was not the same truck. There was just an overwhelming amount of repairs over the whole truck, and i was starting to tackle them one by one. Tires finally came up, and i found a guy on craigslist with some 33s. when i went to buy em, i saw a silver extended cab sitting on the side of his garage ( my soon to be tank). my thoughts were PART TRUCK! I asked a few general questions about it, and short of just over 200000 miles, she ran like a champ... so no part truck. he offered a straight trade, mine for his, because i had a new tranny, and there was a 5 inch fabtech sitting in the bed of his, new in the box. so i made the leap and so starts my project tank.

Since i joined the forum well after i started building the ram up, i dont have many pictures of what she started out as. I installed the lift shortly after getting it, got a cheap black roll bar, and a set of 16x8s wrapped in goodyear wrangler 35s. pretty sweet. oh and a black grille off ebay for dirt cheap. real tough for me. so heres where i start some pictures .



35s!!!!!!! ( the below picture was took much later from when the first one was, its just the best pic i have of the rims and tires)

so what about adding fog lights into the space in the bumper? i put spyder halo projector fog lights in the space in my bumper and i love them. you should check them out.
alright, started piecing, and wiring, together my newest mod. this is a teaser, so its not revealing anything just yet...

word of advice, make sure wires are going to where they NEED to be, and not random locations... yea it kinda hurt haha

it wasnt stupidity that resulted in this, but me testing out ideas... youll all see soon enough.


ok so now you all know, my latest mod involves some HEAVY re-wiring of alot of things... say tuned for more!
oooooowwwwwwwwwww. that must suck.
