Dark Tower Build (pics)

[Livinfast85]

So I figured I would throw together a little build write up of what I've done, am going to do in the near future, and what I hope to do in the long run.

To start off I installed a Ready lift 3.5" lift.


Then I installed some nice low profile back up lights.

A couple months later a nice GMC owner decided to take them off a 20 mph....

So I opted to have his insurance company cut me a check. Now the following are on their way:
18x9 Vision Creeps

With **** Cepek Extreme Country 305/75r18

Bakflip MX4 Bed Cover

Also on their way



This morning I installed The borla ATAK exhaust I ordered last week

Installed my Borla ATAK this morning. Only took about 40 min. I LOVE the sound. Not to mention I picked it up for $600! :D Sorry for the rattle. I got rear ended so its touching the bumper... Cold Start Idle Windows up pull

Alright I had a little get away weekend with the wife so I didn't get to post the update until today. So Friday I got the Wheels, tires, and rear bumper mounted and couldn't be happier!

How’s the MX4? Any leaks at the tailgate?

Very minimal, but in all honesty I don't see how there wouldn't be a leak with any cover. Ram left a HUGE gap in the top of the tailgate and bed side.

@Livinfast85 that's a great looking truck!
Looking forward to seeing the front bumper on as well and close ups of the both bumpers?

I want a rear bumper just for the integrated step haha - but the looks are great and tucked up a bit as well?

Just took a close up look at the listing and fitment excludes rebels... off to the drawing board.

Ugh. I know, stupid design. I think an over the rails cover is the only way to fix that.

I think I am going to go and buy some weather stripping and try it between there to see if that works.

Let me know how it works, if you figure it out post some pictures.
