Smile My first Mod - Road Armor

Well - After enjoying my truck for 7 months I took the dive and purchased the Road Armor Sahara model bar for my 2500 cummins. In addition I replaced the stock fog lights with some Piaa 540's and added some 540 Driving lights. I need to do some aiming of the fogs tonight but overall I am EXTREMELY happy with the purchases. The bar is a Dark Gray powdercoat that I think goes well with the black truck.

Now I have to save some $$ to replace the stock tires with some Pro Comps.

TIM

PS - I will get some pictures up soon.

Hopefully I will get out of the office early enough to get some pictures during daylight hours. Tonight I then have to spend some time aiming them properly as one of my fog lights is aimed too high up and to the left. Do not want to get flashed for improperly aimed lights.

I will take some photos of that as well so that folks can see how the lights illuminate.

Looks great. I don't see the Sahara model on Road Armor's website though. It looks like it has less material, meaning lighter and hopefully cheaper. Do you have a link to it? Cheaper than the Stealth bumper? Thanks.

edit: I did find it. I had the Stealth bookmarked not the main site. Nevermind ...

Looking good! I really like the Stealth bumpers... just can't get over that pricing!

Someday I'll have to invest in a set since my truck has become a magnet for nimrods in parking lots lately (3 hits in 4 months)

I hate to go against the grain but I think it looks a little out of place on an otherwise stock looking truck. Big bumpers next to those little tires/rims looks kinda like a skinny guy with a huge afro It's a good start though!

Lightman - I completely understand what you are saying about it looking out of place. The wife has already approved new tires for the truck, its just that money does not grow on trees, and I figured I would start with more expensive mod first, as well as getting some better lighting for this truck. If Dodge had made a better set of lights I would have started with the tires and wheels first. Then again, maybe I was spoiled with the xenon lights that were on my Infiniti fx35.

More mods to come.
