swirvin 21's build thread
Ran into Shannon on a deal for an axle I had to sell and he told me about this site. I'm on a number of other Dodge Ram and offroad sites: Dodge Offroad, Pavement Sucks, Pirate, Infamous4x4 and Tulsa Offroad to name a few. I'm even a mod on a few of them.
I own 2 1998 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 extended cab trucks, 1 white and 1 black, 1 V10 and 1 V8. The black Ram I've owned since 2004 just after I joined the Marines and I have done a TON of stuff to it. The white Ram I've only had for a little more than a year and I've nearly got it all put together. I have done a ton to both and have a very good understanding on all the 2nd gen Rams. Right now I have a ton of extra parts I need to let go to help pay some medical bills, so I'll be tossing them up in the classifieds. Here's a few pics of my truck as it sits now and I'll post up a list of mods to both here soon: http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/u...m/IMG_3205.jpg http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/u...g?t=1318017057 http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/u...s/IMG_3460.jpg http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/u...e/IMG_3193.jpg http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/u...e/IMG_3194.jpg |

Those were at Disney near Little Blue. It's the cave just south of the Z canyon.
Thanks for the props. I know the owner of Road Armor, good guy, and I've enjoyed the bumpers. Been considering getting another set for the White Ram or transferring these and building myself something for the Black one. I can probably set up a Group Buy on Road Armor if enough people are interested. Check out my classified ad if you get a chance. I need to be able to pay for a back operation here soon and some of my toys have to go as a result. Feel free to ask any questions, I've done everything but the gear swap myself on these trucks! Here's my build thread over at TOR. It's another local forum more tuned to offroaders. I'm one of just a few Mopar guys as MYoung84 will attest. Hope it not a problem posting a link to another forum, it is local if that helps...this is the entire build on the White Ram: http://www.tulsaoffroad.com/forums/s...ion-to-Family! |
