2018 Ram 1500
My jeep has been getting tired so the past few weeks ive been looking at some used cars and trucks to replace it. Last Saturday i took a ride to my local dealer to check out a used 2015 CPO Ram 1500 express. Before i even got a chance to go in to talk to anyone, a stroll threw the back lot bought me to a white 2018 express quad cab.
Some back and forthing and few hours later, that 2018 Ram was going prepped for delivery in the car wash. :shock: I got an excellent deal on the truck. Between being a former employee of the dealer, my brothers best friends father being a partner there, AND FCA trying to push out the last year of this body ram, i ended up getting almost 14k off the sticker price. Truck will go back to dealer when plates come in for bedliner and hitch install. https://farm1.staticflickr.com/886/4...fd284690_z.jpg https://farm1.staticflickr.com/952/2...6a66e8d8_z.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1727/...6a10e27f_z.jpg https://farm1.staticflickr.com/893/4...2477f55c_z.jpg No mods YET, but thats just bc nothing has arrived yet :lol::facepalm: On order currently: -Being tinted weds - LEDs for fogs, license plate plates, bed lights, reverse lights, interior lighting -Black Ram emblems for front + rear -Black 4x4 (may end up not putting on, goign to see how i like it clean first) |
nice congrats good luck with it. i have a 2017 ram the only thing that drives me nuts is the shifter. other than that it’s been a great truck so far.

Nice truck!
If you can, cancel the black emblems. Plasti-dip those suckers! I did on my truck and they looked just like the day I did them when I traded it in a few years later. Since I like a clean look, I negged the side emblems. The ones I left behind I hit with plasti-dip. If you don't want to go full blacked-out, you could always try something different, like gunmetal and top them with gloss or metalizer. Also: Get you some rust proofing, like fluid film, and hit the rear quarters with it, up in the bedsides. Had I known better, I would have when I got my truck. I traded it in because I started getting rust in the rear wheel lips and when I stuck a camera into the bedsides it was pretty fugly in there. |

Also, do you happen to have those headlights you swapped out? I want to switch my to either the black bezel units, or find a set of stocks to mod. |

Actually, I do have the stock lights up in my attic. They're yours if you want 'em. Should be in more or less new condition. |

You assume I know where you work!
I'll be in the firehouse Saturday, maybe we can figure something out for then? |

What time will you be there? i should be able to swing by |
I usually get there a little before 7:00am, and I'll be there all day.

Saw this on the gram, good to see you made it NJFBOA official. Does this mark the end of suburban off-roading?

On the exhaust: Save your monies and get one of the the mufflex mufflers as there is no power to be had by replacing the cat-back. The factory stuff is mandrel bent stainless steel, so if sound is your game then just swap mufflers. It's a quick bolt on.

First round of modding done. Nothing much, but its something.
Tint: match factory rear tint on the front windows, 5% visor tint. Will most likely be getting the whole windshield done at 50% once i get some real headlights. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1757/...3c4f839d_z.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1732/...9ff8a943_z.jpg |
LED plate lights:

Small touch, but makes the truck look much more "modern" than that yellow halogen stuff. |
