My ram 4x4 project
As ya'll know my beloved dually was totaled awhile ago and i picked up this 2001 ram 4x4 as a replacement,it's a one owner 120,000 mile, 360 [5.9] auto quad cab. I have added a C.A.I.,new wheels and tires,new brakes on the front and cleaned up/painted the underside. I still have to rebuild the rear brakes,redo the gibson dual exhaust [i hate it not loud enough],install new ball joints [would have done that this weekend but broke every breaker bar i have on the hub nut] gonna have to have them done professionally i suppose [i ain't got big enough tools],replace all the u joints. This income tax return may finance a 5 inch lift [if life don't screw me] and or exhaust. It ain't fancy but she's all mine.

Thanks ya'll if ya saw the paint you would see the condition of it it has been touched up and the prep was crappy the roof/hood has acne [small bubbles in the clear] it's a northern truck and the patched up rust is starting to show again. Gonna make a road trip this weekend to pickup some bushwacker fender flares to cover the inevetable.

As i stated in the above post i never was able to get in touch with the guy selling those flares however he relisted them and i again e mailed him and he is going to St.Pete tomorrow and will drop them off to me at work [i ain't holdin my breath] we'll see what happens,they are suppose to be in good shape just need repainted black, these are only being installed to cover the fender lips cause the rust is starting to peek out a little here and there.Next will be black 3" nerf bars and a black grill guard/tailite guards.Gonna attempt the ball joints again at christmas.
