2016 Ram Tradesman/Express build log
So, I bought this Ram today. 2016 Tradesman/Express with 20000 miles on it and it was obviously someone's baby. VERY clean inside and out. Price was insanely good and got what I thought was fair price for my trade. Rides and drives like a dream for what it is even on nearly worn out Bad Year SR-A tires (yeah they're turds and 25-30k is all you're gonna get out of them most of the time). The plan is to do a 3-way front stage and a downfired sub behind the passenger seat. No I don't want to do a console box. My skills and patience aren't what they need to be to make them look professional so the bitch seat is staying put. My work is best left hidden. ANYWAY, the plans are...
DASH MAT!!!!!!!!!
Pioneer AVH-501ex in dash
CMOS license plate frame camera from Ebay
Minidsp cdsp 8x12-ALREADY OWN
JL RD900/5 on sub and midbass
Zapco ST-4X SQ on midrange and tweets-ALREADY OWN
Dayton nd16 tweeters in dash corners
Audiofrog gb25's in stock dash locations
Audiofrog GS690's in doors-ALREADY OWN
Audiofrog G12 in downfiring box behind passenger seat-ALREADY OWN
Amps and d-blocks under passenger seat and processor under middle seat
Stay tuned for updates. I have equipment rolling in and once this tropical storm gets out of Arkansas I'll start installing. I know the Ram inside and out after owning two quadcabs (09 and 11) so should go fairly easy.

Nice truck. Looking forward to seeing and hearing it in person in a few months.

It's getting new tires tomorrow because traction was nonexistent in the rain today when hitting the brakes. The previous owner did me a favor by wearing them out because the factory tires are turds when brand new. Both of the Rams I bought new had the SR-A tires and they were done at 25k. These have 20k on them now and not worth the risk on wet roads.

Now you just need some Belltech 2/4 drop springs on there. And I just happen to have a set that needs a good home... :eyebrows:
Re: 2016 Ram Tradesman/Express build log
Really don't want to lower it. I need ground clearance every now and then;)
