'21 Bighorn. Not the top trim but definitely the top of what I wanted to spend! Fuck these things are expensive anymore. This truck is so damn nice to drive. Maybe some day I'll go after a Limited or Rebel trim when I want to drop more money because Ram did a lot right with this vehicle. I did read DJLN posts in this thread when I was trying to parse down how interested I was in a Ram, so shoutout there for sure.

Nice. And yes, a truck is a must..

Work in progress, but take a gander before it's off to the coaters.

New shackles, leafs, shocks and a power steering kit on order. It’s finally mostly road worthy. And is ridiculously high geared in first gear with the 3 speed. Looking at 4 speed swap or really leaning towards an nv4500 Gm trans for a lower first gear and some longer legs.

Also took a rear leaf out because the back looked too high and it rode like a lumber wagon.

Yeah, some of it is painted. Still very unique and fun.

Man I forgot about all the cool stuff here.

Speaking of,

I did a whole host of upgrades over the winter.. new lip, sideskirts, rear skirts, headlights, fogs, tails.

Went from leaf spring suspension to full blown coilovers, and the biggest thing, a set of custom specced BCforged wheels wrapped in brand new nittos~

My favorite vette body style!

Holy shit. Nice work hometeam.

I’d have never got there, and that’s why I’m a boring fuck but that looks GREAT.
