After a bit of a hiatus of returned to do a minor mod. I still rock the factory sub and box but it needed to be changed. I was going through my toolbox and found a rattle can of DWB paint and figured why the hell not, if it turns out like crap I'll just PlastiDip it.

I started off by light sanding it just to get rid of the high spots from the factory stamps. They're still there but they don't stand out as much which I don't mind as it's just supposed to be a simple quick project to make it look better. After sanding I followed up with a adhesion promoter, primer, and a base coat.



Letting it dry for about 45 minutes I applied to more coats, 45 min dry time between each coat.



And finally after 4 coats of paint and 3 coats of clear following the same dry time method.





I definitely should have done this a lot sooner as I always just figured I would replace it with a fox box, but it's a great medium in the mean time and didn't take long at all.

Looks amazing man!
Was that a duplicolor paint you used?
nope, it was paint I ordered a while back from Automotive Touch Up in my paint code and forgot I had another can of it. It's better than the can I got from Mopar as well, I don't know why but it definitely came out better.

mmmm pringles :)

So I finally got around to doing a little mod on the truck since a LSD is still out of my price range with Mother Mopar being the only option, I straight piped the truck and it sounds bad ass!! In my opinion of course, I'm sure someone will find it to raspy or something but I love the way it sounds when I hammer on the throttle and cruise around town.

PS: Pay no attention to the skinny man briefly walking through the frame, I have no idea who that is.... I think his name is Sean or something...

What's up fast!?

I haven't heard from Steven in a long time. I now live in MS, my how things change! I still love my ram, but man have priorities changed, mine is now just a truck and just transportation (though I still love the things I've done to it...). I now have over 100k miles on mine...
