Lol, yeah. He only charge me like 10 bucks to do them...So I figured, what the hell. I didn't want chrome..

I finally drove it today..WOW...amazing ride. Just went to the Bronco's game..and must have turned every head in the parking lot..

The 5.38 gears make a huge difference..I have the same pickup as if I had a stock rig. I'm more than happy with the set up. I'm just happy its finally on. I was getting tired of waiting on everything to be powder coated and installed.

I like em...I'm so scared to grab the ones I got. Last ones I had, I ripped em right off the first time. I'll stew on these and probably give ya a call when I get back from my trip.

Ramicon - well it started with RAM which is the emblem I replaced on the front grille. Ram goes back to my college days..my best friend in Alaska and I would say Ram every time a hot chick went by or as a tention breaker...or when we'd leave a message on the phone, or when we'd meet.. Corny...but its stuck with me for ever...even my folks say it to me all the time..

Hemi....well, when I pay this thing off...then I'll think about puttin the Viper engine with a super charger in it. I'm not getting rid of this thing....EVER.. So plans for the future are wide open. This will go through a lot of changes..

Thanks. As soon as I fully break these gears in and get this Hydro steering fixed. Hopefully while I'm gone this week. Plus I need to install bump stops lol...

With a 1" body lift, I needed 3.25" front and rear extended bumpstops.

Without a body lift, maybe start by trying 4" extended bumpstops front and rear and see how much you are willing to trim.

In addition to extended bumpstops, I had to do a little trimming (although the Poly sliders required no trimming):

Theres still more to get colored..

When I get back. I'm going to get the Ram painted (Red Neck Ram), the tie rod clamp powder coated (poly Performance), and the two small black clamps on the drag link powder coated (Rock Krawler), plus I wanna clean up the underneath from the Moab mud I encountered at EJS this past year.

I'll never go through a Moab mud hole ever again. I had to change out my radiator. It got clogged so bad.

I don't know yet.. I just clamped the reservoir on the side of the upper bracket for now. Until I can get a better clamp or position, It'll have to do for now. I haven't cycled the suspension just yet.. I don't have a spare fork lift around or an obvious obstacle I can ride up on to find out. I live in Highlands Ranch Colorado. Not exactly jeep friendly, more Cali yuppie. :D Plus I leave in the morning for a week on business.

TBeck47 - I'm down to go camping the weekend of Sept. 11th.. Maybe to Decker's just South of Sedalia..They got a sweet as camp ground. We can go tubing in the river, camp for $15 bucks..and a few miles up the road is a ton of off roading trail's. We can drive out the back side of Castle Rock. Maybe CO4LO,Alaska, PBach, Clam will chime in and go with us.:beer::beer::beer::beer: Could be a fun trip!
