Lets See Your BackCountry Trim Trucks!!

[bikemancs]

Well guys, I registered here, and have finished reading this thread, because I just told my dealer to put an order in for a BC package truck for me.

Patriot blue, loaded with almost everything, except no sunroof, no air suspension, and the 8.4 screen. I'd have preferred to have the ram boxes and the multi-function tailgate but not an option. I've been looking for a patriot blue truck I liked, I have a 2006 2500 in patriot blue, but I never really liked the 4th gens. Keeping 3.21 gears as I don't plan on getting rid of my 06, so if I need to haul, that'll be the truck.

I appreciate everyone's posts here, pretty much swung me that I was good going with this. I was looking at a Laramie, but I think this will work great.

Finally got my flares, tow hooks and hood scoop back today after getting painted. Installed the tow hooks when I got home with them and did a dry fit on the hood scoop. Tomorrow, I'll install the hood scoop and flares. The truck is scheduled to get the lift, wheels and tires installed on Tuesday/Wednesday. Here's a few pics.... So far, love how it looks.

Well, it's a concept truck so it looks cool but I doubt anything on that would ever come to production from Ram. Might inspire some aftermarket companies to build something similar as it looks bolt on. It's weird but those tires do not look like 37's to me. Everything is proportioned really well.

One glaring problem with the backcountry x......YOU CANT GET RAMBOX...lol.

But seriously, I think I'm one of the only early back country orders that actually do have rambox, and I'm dying to get some kind of sports bar back there.

I've read all the issues with trying to level the front of Off Road Package (ORP) optioned trucks. Not really interested in spending a bunch of $$$ to level it. I'm wondering if lowering the rear by installing the standard springs might be the way to go.

That’s exactly what I did on my 2019 Warlock. Yeah I know that’s not a 5th gen…but it did the trick, and didn’t negatively effect anything.

I put my flares on yesterday. All set to drop it off on Wednesday to get the lift, wheels and tires on.

Did your RAM letters on the grill come white? Or, you modified them already?

I ordered the white gloss overly vinyl stickers before the truck even got to me.

What color black did you use and if you don't mind how much did it cost to get them painted?

I was wondering if that's what you did. Looks awesome! I ordered overlays off of Etsy for mine.....over two weeks ago and they're not here yet. Where did you get yours?

I had the flares painted the PXJ paint code to match the bumpers and lower body. I dropped off a few parts for paint at the same time. I pulled the tow hooks off for paint and also brought my hood scoop and flares. Total for paint was $500. for all the parts.....but, I've been going to this body shop for years for stuff like this.

The armrests on the driver and passenger doors are too small

Man, you shoulda sprung for the air suspension. Had it on my '15 Laramie ED and it came standard on my '19 Limited. Ride is impeccable, and when set to OR2 and dropped in 4wd Lo, my truck is an offroad beast. Spent 8 days on WY forest service roads and 2 tracks elk hunting last week, and it went through stuff usually reserved for RAM commericals and torture tests. These trucks are very capable and I can't say enough for both onroad and offroad manners.

I'm running 18" RAM takeoffs and LT275/70/18 Cooper Discoverer AT3 LTX. These tires and wheels gave me ideal sidewall height and traction last week in mud, slush, snow, and gravel last week. They're also very quiet on the pavement and provided great wet traction. Couldn't be happier.

I plan to upgrade with 2" Daystar leveling kit with links front and back and factory skid plates. This will improve ground clearance and soften the ride while lifted.

I test drove a Limited and a Laramie before ordering my BC, the air was a fun toy, but the ride didn't feel any different to me. Also figured it is much easier to "trail fix" a broken spring than a blown bag. Not to mention, the air system is heavy, dropping payload that much more.
