I really, don't want to change a whole lot about this rig... I love it just the way it is, but at the same time know I can improve it some as well.

Looking real good Landon!

Love the color too!

I just realized your on the Iowa/Missouri border. Did not know that!

How many miles she running?

[turbomaxx]

Yes sir, I lived in VA when I joined, but we are originally from southern Ia. Finally got to move back after an 8 year absence! it feels DAMN good to be home!!

Thanks, too, I painted this truck 2 years ago in my auto body class. It came out flawless. So I'm really pleased with it since I've already got time invested in it.

She's sittin on 99,300 miles at the moment. Pretty good for a 13 year old truck!

She'll tip over 100,000 this weekend though when I take a road trip with my girlfriend to go see all my family 5 hours North in Milford, Ia.

Niiiice. I like Dodge trucks.

[turbomaxx]

thanks man. I can't wait to get some vids in the mud with our club.

Awwww, looks so cute and little.






3" lift and 35"s will look nice. I have BFG All-Terrain T/A KO tires on mine. They're a great, long lasting a/t tire. But, they're not awesome in deep, thick mud.

Oh yea i remember when you were in VA.

I was just curious about Mount Ayr, never heard of it so i google mapped it to see what the area looks like etc. and noticed that Missouri was like a rocks throw from your town center lol.

Wow you painted it? Did you post about that on here...i feel like i remember someone painting a vehicle for class...

Came out damn good, i swear to god i thought it was a factory paint lol.

99...not bad..she looks real nice for 99k thats for sure.

Thanks guys! Yeah, I did post about it actually! I painted the roof my first year, and sprayed the rest year 2.

Today I got the muffler off, but I kept the cat and resonator. Sounds AMAZING!! I'm trying to find something to prop my phone on for a video now, actually.

And I found some mud to play in down at the New lake, Loch Ayr. I'm completely head over heels in love with this ram.

BTW, found out while she was on the lift that it's got 3" blocks in the rear already and a 2" spacer up front.

Guess my lift is done!! HAHA.... Maybe I'll go higher, but these are my next purchase... $680.

Really? Makes me second guess my lift. Mine was about that high prior to shackles and spacers. Maybe mine just sat a little higher due to it being a 2500.

Yeah I was surprised, too.

Oh well. It'll clear the buckshot mudders I'm getting soon, so I'm happy.

I added some more pics, now with my dad's K9 and NRA decals off and my Jegs and K&N, and my 4x4 club decal on. Also, Interior pic. I love the 5 speed in that thing, it shifts sooooo smooth for a big, rugged truck.
