I've owned a pretty good handful of trucks...but my 1996 Dodge Ram 1500 with the 360 was by far the best. Obviously newer interiors and features are nicer...but the 96 still had that old school feel before everything got all techy. It felt raw and powerful, even tho the new hemi has way more power. It just felt masculine as hell. To get on topic tho...i really love how that 4th gen bumper looks on this truck. I agree with whoever commented about putting LED headlight tho.
Garry Gorham I was thinking how nice some new headlights would look on his truck, and maybe a bit more black too. That's just my opinion though and I think his truck is very nice the way it is.
I like the older style and it kills the bueaty of a 2nd gen front end. It goes along with why I only kept the LED light bar on my square body s10 for a week. LEDs don't look good on older style truck's same goes for bumpers and mirrors.
I like the look of the 4Gen. Bumper on the 2Gen. But clearly you lose a lot of Bumper protection in the switch. I only get rid of a bumper to move to a better (safer) bumper.
Nuts are bolts, ratchet is a socket wrench? must be a Cali thing, and you can just extend those fog light harnesses pretty easily they are probley what two or three wires each?
Looks good, you should think about getting a decent cordless Electric impact and long flex head double ratchet wrenches makes certain jobs easier and faster
Give u an A for effort but they way you installed that bumper was completely backwards ur making it alot harder to align the assembly if u bolt the brackets to the truck first. Supposed to secure them to the bumper then align the hole assembly to truck
In my opinion it would look a lot better if you painted the wheel wells black again but it's your truck so do whatever you want but nonetheless that 4th gen bumper looks great
Hey man what size tires did you fit under that Ram and by chance what were they? Realy like them. If you have time. I think they would look good on my 2016 D Max maybe
These OEM 4th gen bumpers are getting hard to find, and the ones without sensor holes seem to be rarer than hens teeth. After looking for 6 months, I had to settle on one with sensor holes also. FYI, I found Hillman 1 1/8" chrome hole plugs at Lowes fit perfectly. They also now sell sensor kits on eBay for like 30 bucks, so two ways to go.
Coulda used a ratcheting wrench, assuming you had those tools available. I mod my truck quite abit, I invested in buying lots of different kinds tools, because I didn't like needing to borrow tools all the time.
TheWalkingPotLeaf hes just doing all that for the drama to get views if he changes the tune to stock and takes the tuner out it will pass smog just like that mine does easy and it's about the same setup
4th Gen bumper swap looks like shit until you also swap on a sport grille that fixes the bottom gap. You can get them in chrome now from aftermarket parts places.
Its like all the 2nd gen cummins owners on youtube got together and said, "Lets all build the exact same truck!"
Cummins are overrated. Gassers are where it's at
@@leecunha4442 BAHAHA get you a real truck cause aint no gasser out torqueing a diesel period
Anyone else cringe everytime he called nuts bolts
Hunter Corle that's exactly what I went to the comments for. I was wondering if anyone else caught it.
Zachary Marble yah I caught it
Nuts are bolts, a ratchet is a socket wrench, if I said those words in my shop I'd get fired lol.
I cringed when he said "I branged this one"
same lmao

Wutthaduck. yall have the same bumper. lol nice. i own a duramax yet i find myself watching all these Damned 2nd Gen Cummins channels
TrollMaster300 duramax is the best the hell with these 2nd gens
you should get some new led headlights to match and it will look better than ever
Garry Gorham I was thinking how nice some new headlights would look on his truck, and maybe a bit more black too. That's just my opinion though and I think his truck is very nice the way it is.
it's way easier to put the brackets on the bumper first then mount it on, easier to adjust and tighten that way! done this on mine enough to know lol
New headlights?
I think the new bumper looks great man!

Lift and sum tires is all they need

anyone else think DANG! thats a nice TSC! lol
LOUD 'N' PROUD ya 😂😂
I was gonna say something lol
Does it go faster now ?
lol it takes literally 2 minutes to extend the harness😂
right, cut splice , twist and insulate. done
Your truck look's great!😃
+Isaac Alvarez thanks bro🤘🏻
Nuts are bolts, ratchet is a socket wrench? must be a Cali thing, and you can just extend those fog light harnesses pretty easily they are probley what two or three wires each?
No, he probably just has no idea what he's doing or talking about. lol.
how is a nut a bolt... ? a nut is what you screw onto a bolt, they're two different parts
Those bolts are nuts... literally
Just splice in some wire to make it longer. Like a 2 minute fix.
+Derek Rivers yeah I'm gonna end up doing that!
Looks good, you should think about getting a decent cordless Electric impact and long flex head double ratchet wrenches makes certain jobs easier and faster
+Eric Doyle yeah I need to invest into some air powered tools and such
Dude your truck is badass. Congrats
Give u an A for effort but they way you installed that bumper was completely backwards ur making it alot harder to align the assembly if u bolt the brackets to the truck first. Supposed to secure them to the bumper then align the hole assembly to truck
looks really good! just picked my bumper up today. just extend the wires on the factory harness
+blane meagher yeah that's what I'm gonna do!
Super nice
Can you tell me where did you get the bottom black piece for the bumper?
In my opinion it would look a lot better if you painted the wheel wells black again but it's your truck so do whatever you want but nonetheless that 4th gen bumper looks great
+chris bastin I've gotta get new one because the drive and passenger sides are messed up so they will be black again soon
looks great... u should put put some tow hooks that would look better than light bar...
with the new grill it will look fuckin top bruh. BTW, your package should be on its way \m/
+Cody Owen awesome man. Thank you !
looks bad ass one thing I hv seen tho that looks better is if u hv a sport model grill and the 4th gen bumper cuz it gets rid of the big gap
Don't listen to these fools bro, and keep wrenchin'. Badass truck, and thanks for the info!
99-02 sport bumper conversion is the best imo
Hey man what size tires did you fit under that Ram and by chance what were they? Realy like them. If you have time. I think they would look good on my 2016 D Max maybe
For me loving my 96 f-350 7.3 that truck looks even more bad ass #keepthosetowmirrorsdown 😂😂
Did you find the right wire harness to reach the fog lights if you did can I get the link?
You need new headlights man 😂
There is a sport grille for sale color matched white in AZ
bumper seems to be a little wider than 2nd gen. Do you forsee to add fender flares ?
These OEM 4th gen bumpers are getting hard to find, and the ones without sensor holes seem to be rarer than hens teeth. After looking for 6 months, I had to settle on one with sensor holes also.

Hi, what yrs are consider 4th generation?
Will this also work on the 1500? With the 4th gen bumper on it?
just cut and splice in new and longer wire to make it work. cheaper then buying a new harness
Are those mounting brackets beefy enough to mount tow hooks to?
Looks good but it is so light duty it will not save your truck from a minor fender bender.
Q hay bro una pregunta los soportes para la base de la defensa dónde las consigues
How many inches leveling kit do you recomend on 2002 3500 2wd 2gen?
You should put some clear LED head lights on your truck
Can someone tell me if a 4th gen bumper will fit a 2000 Ram 1500 with the Sport model? I can't seem to find info on it anywhere.
The truck looks good man
+hicksboyz media thanks man!
Take some wire an extend your harness?
What size bolts go to the brackets to the bumper and then to the conversion brackets?
How did u get your flow so nice?
Where’d you get the wiring harness?
You need a covered light bar in the bumper
Hey bud were ya able to use the factory fog light wiring with the 4th gen fog lights?
What kind of tools do you have
Time for some new clear headlights and clear corners
0:24 make sure to wait till ur stopped before you shift just (tryna help)
Btw are you getting new headlights?
why did you not just solder in extension wires to the harness?
Hey Dippin, what sub box do you have in your truck?
what year front bumper can i use to do this to my 2001 ram any one know where i can get one cheap online thanks
Hey bud. What size rims and tires?
What valence did you buy
Nice truck man. What lift and wheels do you have on it?
Travis is supposed to be moving back to Florida do he won't be making bumper brackets for a few weeks
Looks awesome bro
Coulda used a ratcheting wrench, assuming you had those tools available. I mod my truck quite abit, I invested in buying lots of different kinds tools, because I didn't like needing to borrow tools all the time.
+Gabez82 yeah I had ratcheting wrenches but only up to 17 mm. The new nuts where 19mm
Dippin' Diesel Ah, them big nuts. Got it. Lol. Looks good though.
When are you gonna be done with your headlight build?
Its looks clean. Def need to get the sport grill tho I thnk...
Now just need to finish your headlight build and get a grill
looks badass
Do you have to have the fog light mounts in them I order to mount the bumper
In*
Looks sick
put a light bar there
In my opinion they only look good color matched and with a light bar in the opening of it.
what's a good site to order a 4th gen bumper ??
EBay, Rockauto
Don't order a new wiring harness, just splice the wire and add however much wire you need
+Woods N' Water Outdoors I thought of that after I recorded that clip
RYAN LITTLE! MY BOIII, what are we on a 3 or 4 video streak of Ryan Little?
You need to invest into a battery impact, makes life so much easier
Why did you get a 4th gen bumper with the parking sensor holes?
+KJ Howard I got a good deal on it
What’s the sizes on the bolts for the conversion brackets
Original bumper looked better imo
you need a sport grill to get rid if the gap
looks great, leave it chrome too! most swappers paint the 4th gen bumper and it looks less natural
Will this fit a ram 1500
i think it'd look better with a sport bumper
Looks good
Awesome channel dude but those are nuts not bolts
Put a light bar in
Hey diesel shared to show my buddy
Dippin' Diesel Looks good man! Are you gonna put a Light Bar on the Front?
Why not just splice and butt connector the wiring harness.....
Super good 💪🏻🥵
are u going to put a light bar in the bumper
+Will Harrison I'm not sure yet
it looks good buddy
Dippin' Diesel yes put a light bar
Thought you have to make your truck all stock now? Because the laws there.
+TheWalkingPotLeaf I gotta take all the performance parts off to smog it next month
TheWalkingPotLeaf hes just doing all that for the drama to get views if he changes the tune to stock and takes the tuner out it will pass smog just like that mine does easy and it's about the same setup
That bumper will make someone look twice an turn heads. looks clean af
it doesn't look to bad
You need some Clear Headlights!
4th gen 1500 bumpers look a lot cleaner on a 2nd gen
Still looks good with that gap, better than the old bumper
Travis... Travy_tdh24v? That guy on instagram. He does make really good brackets honestly
dude333 correct
Your truck looks 10x more badass!
+Matthew just gotta get that new grille and it will be even more badass
Spyder is the only way to go. Their light bezels are best. Jump on it
4th Gen bumper swap looks like shit until you also swap on a sport grille that fixes the bottom gap.
You can get them in chrome now from aftermarket parts places.
Joe Monstermaker where? I’ve been looking and all I can find is black
