I misread the window deals you made. They are going on the side of bed rack? At first glance was thinking they were going up on the head ache rack to protect the back window but looked again and I figured out what you were talking about. The ram 1500 I had was the blacked out 2017 model. Love black on a pickup! The air deflectors on the head ache rack is cool.Thanks! I try to take care of her.
"window gaurds" , like the air deflector things....?

Thats cool as well! I had the switch bank from AEV on mine. Fits just like yours. Very ocd about clutter on my dash so it was nice to have it in one spotOver the last couple weeks I was also able to finally get my Switch-pro installed.
Found a nice little spot under the hood....

And as many of you know, there is not a real good spot inside for the switch panel. I am also tired of having a bunch of randomly placed suction cup mounts. So I fabbed a panel for my stuff....

Man, I have been going back and forth for months on which tent I wanted to go with. I really, REALLY, wanted to be able to haul my canoe and bike. This really narrowed the options. I didn't even know cvt was an option because their website didn't list a hard shell. Then I found a guy on CL that was selling one.....whaaaaat....so started the conversation with @cvt.Bad ass man! Id prefer the hard shell if i ever buy one. Seems theyd be a better investment?

Leveled in the front, airbags with 8 psi when not hauling. To yo MTRs 285/75-18, bassicly 35×11.50's. Can't go real big cause I do pull a smallish travel trailer, and occasionally my backhoe that sits at about 17k with the trailer. I want to run 37's but would have to regear. Not sure I want to make that investment.Very nice! Keeps looking sharp!! What do you have for a lift and tires?

I agree. If I were on sand and needed the flotation I would run the 12.50s but I am not. I actually feel like the 11.50s are able to get down to the hard stuff better.I like the narrow 11.5. Seems like the 11.50 has always ran better on the rigs i had them on compared to the 12.5

That and the snow! Living in Colorado mud and snow is huge. The wider the tire the more it becomes a snow push. The 11.50 is still narrow enough to cut through the snow.I agree. If I were on sand and needed the flotation I would run the 12.50s but I am not. I actually feel like the 11.50s are able to get down to the hard stuff better.

Thanks @twiget Yes I can weld, but as far as the shop......well.....I would like one of those too.Loving the build so far. Not going to lie, I'm kind of jealous of those of you who have the shop space for a project like this and can weld. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the process.
