nice truck ... very different rims kinda undecided on them, altho if you lift will it look awkward with those size tires?

so that one compressor powers just the horn?

[NtensiTy]

Nice Truck! I'm liking the XD's.. Are u gonna get the Toyo's in a bigger size tire?

[Dodge This]

nice ride, finally another ram! you really want to up the performance, get the diablosport tuner. trust me, it wakes the fucker up. also long tubes are not a bad idea also. i have more info on the hemi if you would like.

The rims have a very macho, lifted truck look to it, and that's what I went with because I know I'm going to lift it soon. The guy I bought it from had this awful looking chrome rims on it so I wanted to get those off ASAP. Now those rims and tires are on craigslist and that money will go towards my lift and new tires. It will look weird at first, but right after my lift I'm going to get 33" either Toyo M/T's or Nitto Mud Grapplers. I'm undecided. But the tires on right now are 31". And yes, its a 150 psi tank that just powers the horn.

Yeah after I lift it I'm going to squeeze the biggest tire I can fit on there, which is either 33" or 34".

Haha thanks, yeah that's one thing I forgot to include in my future plans. I was looking at the Hypertech Max Energy chip, but I'm sure you know the best ones on the market. Yeah I've looked into headers but not very much. Will putting on headers give me a really muscle car sound? I'm happy with my Magnaflows right now but I sorta want something with more of a throaty grumble to it.

[Bradsi]

That is a sick ram!

[Dodge This]

evedryone i know loves my exhaust setup. pacesetter long tubes(although i recommend dyna tech), magnaflow highflows, and flowmaster 50 series w/dumps

Oh damn that sounds pretty legit haha. How much did all that cost you? And do you have a video of your exhaust?

[Dodge This]

i did, back when i had a fuel problem, but since i fixed it, i will have to post a new one. i bought the cat back for 170 back 4 years ago, the headers/ypipe/collector/high flow cost me $500 bought them brand new off of a friend of mine that got them for his truck, but endeed up buying a house. i also got the SRT A/F pillar pod

Oh ok I was expecting it to be more expensive than that. Yeah I'm going to order the SRT A pillar and put an air pressure gauge in it for my air compressor.

pretty nice truck

i see those wheels all the time up here in Yuba
they look pretty good i'd say :)


do you go mudding in the truck?

[Nixon]

Thanks man. Yeah I love them. Will look so much better with my lift and bigger tires. I can't wait haha. Not yet, I need to get front hooks installed first then I will

[l3it3r]

I've been drooling all over the new Ram, I'm still a fan of this body style, but the new one is OMG nice.

[Nixon]

Yeah I love the new body style. And the engine in it is amazing haha.

[Zeebrax]

GREAT TRUCK. Digging the lighting and sound set up you got. Actually Im getting another emergency air horn for my truck soon. I sold my last one like an idiot.

[Dodge This]

yup i love my 09 too. the performance is alot better than my 03

[Nixon]

Thanks man. Haha yeah I'll post up a video of it sometime soon. Haha they are so much fun to scare people with, everybody in my school parking lot hates me because that's all I do. And it's hilarious to honk it at a fire engine that goes by and see their reaction.

[Zeebrax]

No prob though where did you buy from???

[Nixon]

No prob though where did you buy from???

I bought it from a friend of mine. He just got 5 horns from a 1960's locomotive so he didn't need it, and sold it to me.

[Zeebrax]

O dam. I have a pretty good air horn website but I think their prices are eh. But its like the only store that has it?

[T_Glass_27]

looks good!

[Tonk]

KMC Rockstars are the best looking rims you can get for a truck IMO. You definitely need more aggressive tires though!

[Mecal]

looks good!

although I'm not a fan of the stars on the rims.

[Nixon]

Thanks everybody. And yeah, I agree with you. Yup right after I get my lift I'm getting M/T's. I'm probably going to get Nitto Mud Grapplers:

[Dodge This]

good old nitto mud grapplers

[xSxLxYx]

looks like those tires never seen mud

[Nixon]

Haha yeah really

[Zeebrax]

DAMM the nobbies on that tire are redic and awesome for mud.

[Nixon]

Yeah but the bad thing about those, is that they wear fast. The other tires I want are Toyo M/T's:

[Zeebrax]

Yea true the ones Im getting for my Blazer hopefully this summer are BFG All Terrain T/A KOs
Aggressive tread and easy on the street.

[Nixon]

Yeah I want something that will last on the street because I'm not going to go mudding all the time. I actually just went mudding today, rained all day and got out that at around 3. Didn't get stuck once, surprised me a lot being that it's 2WD and all haha

[Zeebrax]

Nice man. How bout some super swampers so you can get a head ache when ever your on the highway? Hahahaha

[Nixon]

Haha yeah. I read up about the Mud Grapplers and they have a pretty big hum to them. But it is definitely worth it!

[Cornercarver82]

If you check my build threat (The Gunslinger) I'm running a set of Dunlop Mud Rovers, relatively aggressive, pretty quiet and so far long lived

Yeah I saw them. I still have a lot of time to do research on M/T's since I don't have that much money right now haha

[Cornercarver82]

I paid $745 on the truck with 36,000 mile roadside asistance and those are sized 285/75/R16 which they measure 33"X10.50"

Wow that's cheap. I was quoted $1,500 for a full set of Toyo M/T's.

[Zeebrax]

Yea that is cheap. Whered you get that deal cause I need new tires for the new wheels?

[Cornercarver82]

Of all places Sam's Club and I wheeled them today and they were EXCELLENT!

[Nixon]

Oh nice. I went mudding again today.. Got stuck once. I guess that's what bald ass all terrains and 2WD gets ya.

[Cornercarver82]

and having a dodge :D j/k

[Nixon]

Updated some pics.. still dont have enough money for some new tires yet but im more than half way there.. decided on 33" BFG M/T KM2's.

[Zeebrax]

Nice man. Diggin the setup so far. Keep on tryin for them tires. Once you put them on you got a whole new truck.

[Nixon]

Yeah thats for sure. Looking into putting some new spindles on the front and a few more leaf springs in the back to lift it about 2" after I get the tires

[Nixon]

Got to update this thread!

I finally put some new rubber on my truck, decided to go with Nitto Terra Grappler's. They are really cheap, and I've heard great things about them, that they perform very well off-road, but can still be a highway tire. I got them in size 305/60/18 which is pretty much 33". After I got those on, I ordered and installed a 3" Rough Country Lift. It included new springs, shocks, and 1/2 inch blocks and u-bolts for the rear. I also put on 2 5' CB Radio Antennas. In the pictures they are white, but I spray painted them flat black, and will get some pictures of them soon. Also, on Black Friday I went out and bought a Crunch Powerzone 500W Amp to power a Kicker Comp 10" Sub. I just wired it all up tonight so I'll get some pictures of the install soon.

The new tires:

And I went playin in the mud again.. got some pics of my buddy's Sierra, none of mine. But was still a blast.

I'm planning on getting some smoked LED tail lights and third brake light to match, some HID's, and an electric exhaust cut out. What do you guys think?

[Zeebrax]

Now were talkin bud. Great choice on whips and tires.

[Nixon]

Haha thanks. I gotta get my smog done so I'm most likely putting the exhaust cutout right after I get my smog done. Gonna be soo loud :loki:

[Nixon]

Got my cutout installed. Sounds beautiful. Now I just need a more beefy cam to get that great cam idle sound :naughty:. Great quality, came with two wireless remotes that I can open and close it from inside the cab. I would highly recommend getting one. Also, got my HID's installed. Decided to go with 6000K, pretty happy but I'm thinking about going with 5000K; does anybody know if I can just replace the bulbs with 5000K? Or do I have to replace the ballasts too? Also, got a new fuel door, black powder coated and black billet grill inserts. Looks great, I'll post up some pics of the HID's and other stuff soon.

Here's the cutout:

Next is Viper 5901 Security System. Anybody have anything to say about Viper? Or other brands to look at?
