The beginnings of my Ram overland build. Its mostly stock besides bilstein 5100s at 2.8 and 35x12.5 Terra Grappler G2s. I added OEM tow hooks, some rocker guards and fender flairs (Plastic to protect against paint chips).

On order:
Diamondback HD cover
Black Ram 1500 emblems
EGR bug shield

Future mods:
RTT (thinking Smittybuilt XL) to go on top of the Diamondback cover
Skid plates
LSD or E-Locker Rear diff (need to find an E-locker option)
Some sort of Offroad lighting (lots of options)
Rock sliders
Hidden Winch (maybe behind OEM bumper)
Dual battery setup

Nice rig. I am also looking for a set of skid plates.
Looking forward to seeing your progress.

Added a bug deflector, still waiting on my diamondback cover.

Did you coat the bug spoiler with the same stuff as the grill? How does the finish look up close? Looks sweet in the pic.
I want to swap out my grill for a Black powerwagon grill.

Thanks! The big deflector was a matte black EGR Model. Appears to match very close to the matte black rustolium professional I used on the grill and bumpers.
