[QUOTE="B Gillespie, post: 77616, member: 395"] The current Telcom Tech primary tow rig had an unfortunate encounter with a very large 8 pt. buck last Friday night. After talking it over with the guys, AND considering that we just put a $2500 tranny and $2500 premo injector pump/high flow injectors in it, I think we are going to keep it for a while. Scheduled for a thrash fest at the ranch in Fort Worth after Christmas to upgrade some stuff on the SuperDuty bucket and getting this truck back on the road. The ultimate tow rig will come later after I get a little more use out of this one and get a little more $$$. Subject: 1997 Dodge 3500 ext cab. 4x4 auto 12V Sport Damage: hood, grille, bumper, fenders, lights, intercooler, radiator, condensor Parts to be installed: Leveling kit, Bilstein shocks, 17" Forged Weld wheels plus factory Dodge 17" inner wheels in the back Needs: new tires for sure plus all parts listed under damage Upgraded intercooler; who makes them? Anyone make an alum radiator with elec fans for these? I will need something fairly quick, if its a Ron Davis, I better call that sucker in tomorrow to get it when we need it after Christmas. ::) We obviously have a little fab ability, but I dont want to reinvent the wheel getting a radiator in there. Hood; anyone have a favorite aftermarket on these trucks? Rear bumper to match front Want: Nice front bumper; who makes them? Dont want to drop stupid money on one, but I want something nice and strong, possibly able to hold a winch. 32-33" x17" tires. BFG AT or Toyo AT? I love me some BFG's, but I need the highest load rating possible, good wear, and decent off road traction. I have the Welds already, but thought about 19.5's too. Nothing bigger than 33's though. 'Glass fenders? Both are toast, would glass on a dually look ghey as Bones in a room full of cougs? Gotta buy a new set of fenders either way... What are the good Cummins forums these days? Ill update as I get more information and pics, then start a build thread when parts start arriving and the build begins. [/QUOTE]
