Well changed out the 820 watt 2 channel amp for a mono block 1100 watt with a 2.2 fardid cap. Still not able to get the sub to hit like it should I think the head unit is not working right. It keeps putting the amp in protection mode.

Installed a new one piece black grill and nodded the emblem to be green. Turned out really cool.  Still need to put in the intake gasket set I got and port and polish it while I'm at it... Then figure out rock sliders and lift. Then it will be time to finish the custom hood scoop I have been working on for years...lol and then...... The list keeps growing like normal.

Thanks man... One of these days I will be able to finish it into my dream of a modern style ram changer like your only mine has the extra quad door and I'm thinking that I will use bucket seats throughout. And as of right ow I'm trying to figure out how to leave the canopy as removable so it could go topless. But will need to reinforce the full thing because I will be cutting out the front wall window area.

Well the plenum gasket was pretty much toast so yesterday I toke her apart and sense I was already in there I toke the time to gasket match port and polish the full intake.  Now I need to either find a set of headers or build a set..... So anyone that has a set of magnum 360 headers let me know. Then maybe later a set of heads... Lol then a tuner

I have a set of shorties, only issue is that the driver side has a leak in the collector and I have not found anyone that is able to fix it.

On my truck I have some long tube pacesetters. they are nice and seem to work good without  many problems, but had to re-do the whole exhaust for that and to go larger.

that's the reason I'm looking for shorties. As far as the leak goes can't it just be welded?

its on the inside where the 4 pipes come together, so you will either have to cut the flange off and weld it back on, or do something else.

I will try to get a pic later.

Wsll other than an oil change nothing has happened other than driving the tires off of her.

Lol oil change is one think i try not to be late on but every dodge i have owned tends to get pissy if they ar pampered to much beat on it and they purr like a kitten. Buut treat it right,lme regular oil changes and fix all the drips and leaks and next thing you know she will only run on premium fuel and royal purple motor oil.

well I got new shoes for mindy this last week. (5) 33 12.5 x 15's wrangler MTR Kevlar on 15 x 10 steelie rims all for a grand total of $850.... wow is this combo wide. they stick out 4+ from the fenders... Looking at lift kits now to stop the rub when I hit a bump while turning. I'm thinking about a 3" lift for her this time instead of the 5" lift I had on the other black ram.. I'm leaning towards building most of it but I'm not sure I have the time so I might just go cheap and fast for now. just adding in the drop pitman arm and steering cross brace for added insurance.



any advice on joining steel to fiberglass? I'm hoping for as little filler as I can get.

Title: Re: Mindy lots of pics (my 98 ram)
Post by: Dracen on January 28, 2015, 04:56:31 PM
