Are your grille lights held onto the grille with only epoxy? the epoxy is between the aluminum and the grille?

Nice truck. All your mods are well done. Can you share a list of the "no holes" mounts that you used for the ipad?

Msfitoy,


Thanks. Looks like a future project for me. Ram is top quality. A bit pricey, but you get what you pay for.

Edit: I have to admit the screws in the dash hurt me. :)

Hey Sid, don’t mind telling you that I am blatantly copying your wheel and tire choice. Looks so great! Question: my local tire vendor is trying to dissuade me from going with the Falkens. Too noisy, sez he. What say you?

Have you heard any update regarding the Eibachs?

Hi Robert...not really noisy at all, at least in the AT version that I have. I really like them so far for their on road behavior and grip. We'll see about off road later after the Eibach gets here. Chris (Panda) tells me that they should be going out end of May. Can't wait to get her leveled out.

Thanks, Sid. Do you mind sharing the specs on those “Shoks”? Size and offset? Thanks.
