No new updates to the truck, but was able to spend a week in the Sierras enjoying the fishing, the fall colors and the lack of people...

I really love that wheel/tire setup what are they?Hell ya I like the plan for that Ram!! Might want to get fenders for mine.
Here is a before and after of my truck. Installed Bilstein 6112s in the front and 5100 in the rear, Method 701s, Toyo ATs 35".
I'm happy, the wife is happy, the dog is happy. Now its time for bumpers and rock sliders.

Method 701s 17", Toyo AT III EXTREMES!!!(Not sure what it means). Only a little bit noisier than stock, little vibration at highway speeds(70+) but for the 70 or so miles they are pretty good. Going to plan a Hollister Hills trip soon to try them out. They have a pretty aggressive tread pattern.I really love that wheel/tire setup what are they?

You can camp overnight at Cape lookout? I've been looking for overnight beach access. Carolina beach is always booked and we cannot get in. Uwharrie is cool too. I live about 1.5 hrs from there east.One of the last days of a recent "Mountains to Sea" trip that I've been trying to do for a few years now. 2 nights in Linville Gorge around Old NC 105, then 2 more nights in Uwharrie NF followed by a couple more nights on Cape Lookout with the lighthouse in the background.

Sure can! You have to make reservations with one of the two vehicle ferry services (Cape Lookout Cabins, and Davis Shore Ferry). It's not cheap (3 people + my rebel was about $140) so decide for yourself how many days makes it worth it. Once you're on the island you can camp anywhere between the high tide line and the front of the dunes (NOT in the dunes).You can camp overnight at Cape lookout?

Just a couple things to be aware of if you do go out there:
Mosquitos as soon as the sun goes down come out with a vengeance despite the wind.
The wind itself, keep a close eye on the forecast and be prepared for changes in direction and strong gusts from time to time.
Soft sand driving, gonna definitely be lowering your tire pressure (20psi did fine for us) but you'll want a way to pump em back up. I can't tell you if there's a local pump, I brought my own and didn't bother looking.
