Looks like you missed a spot ... driver's side Ram Box ... upper right corner .... JOKING! That Ram is INSANELY Bad A**!!!

Ha! I most certainly have a couple of high spots remaining, most around emblems. I’m not concerned enough to polish the whole panel down to start over. Truck looks ridiculously good right now. Super stoked to see how it holds up now!

Thanks for the compliment tho, seriously... after 10hrs, I’m almost offended when someone doesn’t notice, hahaha!

That garage/shop is BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Edit, I could better judge you're truck in the future if you had a different backdrop! 😂
Thank you! It's a 7 'car' garage. Car meaning for Amish Buggies but it's a garage converted barn for horse stalls now. Over 100 year old farm but most of the buildings renovated with Cedar.

Few months in the making came together today!

- 2" daystar level kit (front spacers + air-links all around),
- New FUEL Battleaxe wheels wrapped with Ridge grapplers (285X65X20). BOOM! HAWT!
- New rear sway-bar (handles corners so much better now).

Tires are almost perfectly flush with juuuust a touch of perceptible pop-out (I wanted a titch more but they look rad).

The 2" level profile + tire upsize completely changes the truck's profile. Dood stopped me the first public place I drove to (grocier) to compliment the truck and ask about it.

Rear sway bar greatly improves handling.

Sound and Ride:
- Still sweet but Tires drone a bit at lower speed (~25-35mph). May change after some miles.
- Suspension side to side bumps feel bigger. Straight on are the same.

Tweaks needed:
- The links need some adjustment as there is a 3/4" front to back rake (reverse rake).
- I think the shop installed the sway upside-down.
- Headlight downward adjustment.
- Speedometer recalibration.

installed the borla s this afternoon. Took maybe 3 hours and 2 beers. Dropped the spare and removed heat shield, unbolted stock exhaust, then had to jack the truck up a little to get enough clearance to get the drive side over the axle and out. Not to hard of a process, if you have ramps or a lift, probably would take 30-45 mins. Install only took maybe 30 mins total, need to go back under and adjust one tip, could not get it centered and got tired of trying, was ready to hear how it sounded.
Sounds good!

Popped on these AVS headlight covers today, very pleased as they gave the look I wanted, while still allowing plenty of light through. I also places my order for new wheels and tires, now let the 3-4 week wait begin 😢
Looks good. Had those on the '97 Ram I had, really liked them. I don't feel like the halogens on this new Ram put out good light as it is so I didn't opt for covers or tint. Strongly considering installing LED headlights, may go with those that have a black housing.

I did a not so official 0-60 run. Not sure if the road was quite level, but oh well. Only did one run, because I thought I saw a cop behind me. LOL.

2021 Ram 1500 Hemi 5.7L Big Horn Quad Cab, Night Edition, 3.21 Anti-Slip Rear

4WD high, TC off, MDS off, radio off, windows closed, heat/air off, Roar Pedal on SU9 (Race 9), 89 octane, full tank.

I have a K&N drop in air filter, that's it. Everything else is stock, minus the Roar Pedal and Tazer DT (has a 0-30 / 0-60 timer function).

I'd say not too bad for a 5300 lb truck.
Nice run. I didn't think about activating 4wd, good idea. I used my Tazer 0-60 timer the other day for the first time. Didn't realize intially that I didn't have to reset it each time I stopped - it does that automatically. Neat little gadget to have.
