well its the only place on the truck that now says dodge.. and I guess technically the Cummins Emblem is chrome too.. but that is an acceptable amount of chrome I believe.

it now has zero chrome... painted front and rear bumpers, new bed, new fiberglass hood.

good progress!!

after

before

keep going... you are going to have as many spare parts as Noah soon. I am sadly not far being him either. lol

I got her picked up last night. I will get some pics today... its AWSOME!!!!

the only down side is that they did not re-install my gooseneck hitch in the new bed. So now I have to cut a 10" square myself to get that installed.

I called around and it does not seem like anyone will touch those now days. They want to install the new style, but I am not going to pay $800 to upgrade to the new style when the old one works just fine.

lmao!!!

I personally will be using my new to me 1500HD. From Marble Falls towing exp, I honestly think that the 50-55 range will be what I can safely do over a long period. I will need to be in 3rd the whole time until we start descending into Moab, where I might be able to slip into OD.

I will most likely be the slow dog on the highways if everyone else is running a diesel.

so what you are saying is we are going to take turns having a tow rope hooked to you onto our trailers to help you get up the hills :-D

its that or push you and I don't have a brush guard on my trucks so I am not doing that!

I am thinking my roll bar/ roll cage needs to come before the trip lol.

and if we need to worry about cops and speed I am sure we will also need to double check trailers and capacities and tow ratings too. DPS love to pull over for that sort of thing.

I have actually been arguing with a  friend about my new trailer. He was convinced I needed a CDL to be able to pull it. But after reviewing and calling DPS I believe I am safe.

What all tow rigs are we going to have on this trip? that is going to determine a lot of how fast we go.

I have drove from Amarillo to Prescott Arizona a few times, but that was without a load and only stopping for fuel. And that was a LONG LONG drive, when I was much younger.  I will agree at least on the sections of I-40 I drove on there are some good up hills that go on and on. I am sure you get on smaller roads and they are worse

Thanks for the tips inzane

I see the light at the end of the tunnel!!!

The fog lights were broke so I ordered replacements for those. He should have the front bumper on today... I am guessing the hood and grille too, so early next week I can pick her up!!

I don't know how much fun the M880 would be to pull on a bumper pull. I think that rates a bigger trailer still!
