Always liked 3rd gen Rams and was in the market for a reasonably truck so back in April I scooped this thing up cheap, has a ton of miles per my usual but runs awesome and everything works.

My needs were crew cab, 4wd, could tow a camper and this met them all plus it was my color and has 3.92s.

Plans are the stupid flip up moose mirrors because I can’t see shit backing up the camper, dual exhaust, rebuild suspension front to back, big trans cooler, fix rust/repaint and general clean up of exterior, recover drivers seat and fix the few issues inside. Basically just want to take it back to 100% and have a clean older truck.

First I put a double din in, what a pain in the ass compared to GM

Bought a giant ass camper

Then I cranked it to level and tinted the fronts 20%

Along the line I cobbled some exhaust on it and started buying stuff for the stereo. Speakers are Massive FC6.3 3 way components for the front and Massive FC6 2 way components for the back, amp is my old MTX4244 I’ve had for like 100 years now. Also picked up some 6x9 to 6 1/2 adapters, baffles and an amp kit

Subs will end up being a pair of 10s under the back seat on 1500 or so watts
 
different OEM wheels would do wonders for this truck. Good luck with it
I’m always on marketplace looking for a decent priced set of OE 20s but everyone thinks their 5+ year old stocks on bald tires are worth 1500-2k around here
