The truck has sat for a couple weeks now. The BRAND NEW Mopar box I out in is bad. Only 130 miles and its shot.

I got the boxes swapped out last week and finally drove her today. Feels a lot better. I might need to adjust the box slightly but it feels good. Now I need to fix thr broken exhaust manifold bolts, and get some kind of new exhaust on this thing. My house projects have been siphoning money and time away from the truck.
Anyone have a good suggestion for a single exit exhaust that isn't too loud, but still has a little tone over stock? I like to hear the Hemi, just not be annoyed by it!

My rear bumper is starting to show signs of rusting through and I figured it would be a good time to start a build on a new one. I'm looking at building something similar to this:

I would like to add a tire/jerry can rack and recessed steps in each end of the bumper.

Looks similar to a fab four bumper. The fab four has the steps your talking about.
Looking forward to the build.

All with some stuff....
Going to meet up with a Jeep buddy who will be welding the bumper. We need to get a plan worked out.

Picked up another project! The Ram is running good, BUT the exhaust manifold gaskets need to be replaced along with a couple studs on each manifold. The Top Gun Customz trac bar Heim joint is already bad. Going to save up some $$ and get a BD Diesel track bar.

Replaced the exhaust manifold gaskets. What a nightmare that was! Just ordered two new cats, a muffler and exhaust tip to finish the exhaust out. I installed some dynamat in all four doors, installed JL Audio C2 6.5" components in the front doors, and 5.25" coaxial speakers in the back doors. I had the fender flares painted to match the paint on the truck after I got hit in a parking garage. I need to find some factory tow hooks for the front.
I'm interested in getting a used pop-up camper for the back of the truck. Does anybody have some good suggestions?

I installed my 500watt power inverter and an on board air setup with reserve air tank and 100% duty compressor.
The Ram is done for now. The Jeep project needs some attention.
