Thank you so mych for the vid. I’ve been looking every where for some vids on a 3rd gen 1500 but could only find Cummins. I’ve got the exact same truck. So it’s nice to see ideas.
@@teaminfiniti4105 I feel you there annoying how easy it is to see scratches and dirt. Be wary I have tried painting things on mine and drastically failed. Not as easy as some videos make it look. Really need right pain and a good 2K clear coat and preferably a paint prayer and an indoor place to paint.
Tanks for your video i what it to lift my truck I didn’t know what kind a lift kit Will install on it I was thinking: 4 inches when I seen your truck looks perfect I also have a 2006 ram I’m thinking of using it for overland
man really enjoyed your video I have an 07 im trying to get to look like that & your truck its exactly the way i dream my truck could look so i really appreciate the inspiration 100
Hey if you still have your truck I highly recommend general grabber apt tires 60k mile warranty and don’t really hummm in 06 and are really good off-road
Thanks! I don’t have it anymore but I now have a 4gen with falken Wildpeaks and couldn’t love them more. I’m close to 60k on them and at least another 5-10k of life in them. They are amazing off-road and quiet as well.
553finley I don’t have one, but in the fog light well there’s a slot on the top you can slide a bolt through and then clamp in with washers on either sideTo attach the LED pod bracket, I have another video on my newer ram that has LED light wiring to show you how to do that.
Yes! you could use a pice of thicker plywood or something like that. I would recommend a hard wood plywood like maple to give it decent acoustics. I basically cut the shape and used large metal screws in the front and the seat securing bolts In the rear.
Im looking to buy a 1500 big horn 2006-2008 its hard to find one with lower miles in good shape...i really like your mods man. Has your transmission held up? Is it original
Would you trust the wheel spacers to tow everyday with? I have the same truck fixed up pretty nice with stock 20” and Atturo mud tires. I want a little poke though 🤞🏼
Howard Covington Wheel spacers are not what would fail it’s the stress on your ball joints and other parts like that, but I ran them for two years and would tow a large sized bass boat or landscaping sized trailer all the time. Just pay attention to your truck, do the normal checks for ball joint wear and lug tightening a little more often and you should be fine!
Man I need to showcase my Ram. I’ve had her a little over a year and put $20k in her! New motor, sound system, lift, mud tires, everything has been replaced. And ohhh weee those 10” skar sound awesome in it🥴
Hi tom, based on your large towing mirrors I can tell that you are an intelligent man. im looking for a car i can drive underwater, would you recommend something like this big truck or should i look at something more like a bugatti chiron? Just made the transition to fully living in the ocean so im looking for a vehicle that can support that!
Well if you live in the ocean you won’t have to worry about ever washing and “using the car wash brush” so I think you made a great decision! I would greatly recommend you getting a Tesla because I hear their electrical systems are waterproof to my understanding... could be wrong though so lmk how it works out for you.
I would highly recommend! just check for body rust if you live in a place with snow. People like to hid the rear fender rust holes under plastic fenders. Best bet is to look it up on Kelly Blue Book for a fair used price. I purchased that one which is a 2006 model with 130k miles for $12k. hope this help, good luck finding one.
I connected them to the daytime running lights, honestly don’t remember what wire exactly bc I made this video a few years ago. I usually just make my best guess possible and if I’m wrong I re connect the cut wire and shrink wrap it to protect it again.
oh bet bet, i might just do that too, i just got those exact same lights today and i couldn’t find which wire was the daytime running but i appreciate!
They are just a duals that comes out of the muffler not a true dual. There was also a second muffler that was ahead of the main one that the MBRP dual muffler replaced that I removed as well.
I justice bought an 06 ram 1500 4x4 mega cab, with a road ripper 2000 transmission, a 6 inch lift, with 6k in rim's and tires, over all my truck is worth around 20k, I'll have a video of it on my channel going up real soon so check it out and tell me what you think
Spaghetti i agree it was temporary lol. A fire can only happen if wire gauge is too small and are overloaded. Also a lack of safety measures like fuzes could cause that... Which it has.... so that's why 5 years later is has yet to bun to the ground lol. also on a side note, if they were all tightly bundled up together neatly wouldn't that be more of an issue for melting and sparking??

I’m glad! Why I started the Chanel!
Made my skin crawl when you put that car wash brush on the paint! Sure way to scratch and swirl the paint job
My paint has been fucked up since I bought the truck, plans to get it repainted and when I do that I will really care about that!
@@GreenMountainProjects I'll never buy another black one. I'm about to try that DYC method and change the color.

@@GreenMountainProjects oh yeah I'm definitely not doing it myself
Nice truck I have an 08 Ram 1500
Tanks for your video i what it to lift my truck I didn’t know what kind a lift kit Will install on it I was thinking: 4 inches when I seen your truck looks perfect I also have a 2006 ram I’m thinking of using it for overland
Freddy Barba good luck an overloading vehicle is something I have always wanted to do it haven’t gotten around to it!
I overland in my 08 when I can. I did the leveling kit too but on the rear I used the shackles
“Took that in the middle of the back one day, feels like a bitch” haha I feel the pain man
man really enjoyed your video I have an 07 im trying to get to look like that & your truck its exactly the way i dream my truck could look so i really appreciate the inspiration 100
I had those Atturo trail blade xt’s, they don’t last very long so I switched to kenda klevers and they’ve been really good and they’re the same price
Really, I had good luck with their life span. Mine were also 10ply. If you had 6 ply that could explain it.
Great video I got a 06 Dodge ram thunder road an I'm looking at doing some upgrades
Go for it!

No problem
Nice truck! I have a 2008 ram 1500 hemi. Was wondering how much difference in fuel mileage there was with the lift and the bigger tires?
Thanks! Its not really that noticeable, might have lost an mpg or two but nothing crazy.
@@GreenMountainProjects thank you very much, will probably do a similar set up that you have there on my truck
What brand headlights are those?
Do you or Andy have a video on how you hooked the system.
Smoove B the audio system? I have a video installing the radio.
the sub under the seat i have a old 10 inch sub and a amp .
Awesome truck. Now put your cover on.
Hey brother ? Was your blackout or you painted your bumper and grill
Is that a stock bumper which model bumper is that?
stevostevo 72 just a stock plastic bumper, it is a Laramie
Do you have a video showing how you installed your led pod fog lights
553finley I don’t have one, but in the fog light well there’s a slot on the top you can slide a bolt through and then clamp in with washers on either sideTo attach the LED pod bracket, I have another video on my newer ram that has LED light wiring to show you how to do that.
Thank you for the information you gave me
So for your sub you literally just cut the piece of counter top and made the shape of the sub and the truck?
Yes! you could use a pice of thicker plywood or something like that. I would recommend a hard wood plywood like maple to give it decent acoustics. I basically cut the shape and used large metal screws in the front and the seat securing bolts In the rear.
Awesome! Thanks it certainly makes someone same some money!
Anything else for fuel mileage? I have a 08 , 12 mpg not good but the truck is great off road
yeah mine was just about averaging 12mpg
I get an average of 14.7 mpg
Did the 42" led bar bolt right up or did you have to fabricate a bracket?
I just drilled a hole through the steel inner bumper and bolted through it. No bracket needed!
Im looking to buy a 1500 big horn 2006-2008 its hard to find one with lower miles in good shape...i really like your mods man. Has your transmission held up? Is it original
Yeah nothing at all and its not like I baby it either
Get one that's not Rusted AF
To change it to a 21/2inch lift don't I need to buy new springs and other components in the suspension?
mcf1gtr No depends on the lift kit. Rough Country’s lifts utilizes the factory parts. You wouldn’t need to do that till you get into the 4”+ of lift
Would you trust the wheel spacers to tow everyday with? I have the same truck fixed up pretty nice with stock 20” and Atturo mud tires. I want a little poke though 🤞🏼

Anthony LaBella i can tell he was a smart man when he washed his black truck with the car wash brush lol!

I would greatly recommend you getting a Tesla because I hear their electrical systems are waterproof to my understanding... could be wrong though so lmk how it works out for you.
With your lift kit, did that level you out or do you still have front tilt? if so what is your differential?
Aidan Kerr the kit lifts the front 2.5” and the rear about 1”, this gives it a leveled look with no front tilt or rake.
What's a good price range for these trucks bc I really want one
I would highly recommend! just check for body rust if you live in a place with snow. People like to hid the rear fender rust holes under plastic fenders. Best bet is to look it up on Kelly Blue Book for a fair used price. I purchased that one which is a 2006 model with 130k miles for $12k. hope this help, good luck finding one.
hey to which wire on the signal bulb did you connect the halos and the leds to?
I connected them to the daytime running lights, honestly don’t remember what wire exactly bc I made this video a few years ago. I usually just make my best guess possible and if I’m wrong I re connect the cut wire and shrink wrap it to protect it again.
oh bet bet, i might just do that too, i just got those exact same lights today and i couldn’t find which wire was the daytime running but i appreciate!
Angel Rueda Yeah it could be one of the wires that goes to the orange marker bulb, just ,ale sure it’s not the one that is the turn signal
i just finished doing the wiring and yep it was the middle wire of the turning bulb
How’s you battery doing
Fine.
What did you do to your rims? Plastic dip?
Black aerosol wheel paint you can get at a Lowes
Can I fit the lift kit on my 2004 dodge?
They make lifts that will just go on a site that has you put in vehicle info.
@@GreenMountainProjects Cool deal, I checked it out unfortunately it won't fit but I appreciate the help!
How're the duels set up??
If your referring to the exhaust, I love it!
They are just a duals that comes out of the muffler not a true dual. There was also a second muffler that was ahead of the main one that the MBRP dual muffler replaced that I removed as well.
@@GreenMountainProjects ohh gotcha, I've been trying to figure out how to put duels on my 06 with how the Gas tank is only on the driver side
To funny looked of 06 dodge and find video in my state that’s what’s up
How much it cost to raise it up 2 inches
www.roughcountry.com/dodge-suspension-lift-kit-395c.html?find=2006-dodge-ram-1500-4wd-565386
$200
You must literally “hook” up to your boat.
good one!

Eragon Shadeslayer looks like a great set up! Just a little worried you got ripped off if your wheels and tires are $6k!
i call all that spaggetti under the hood... a fire hazard..
Spaghetti i agree it was temporary lol. A fire can only happen if wire gauge is too small and are overloaded. Also a lack of safety measures like fuzes could cause that...
