i like that 4th gen bumper a lot more, but i would not recommend rubberized undercoating, use enamel paint and oil spray over top of it. the rubberized garbage traps moisture and PROMOTES rust growth
Mike Utoober, I have had the same experience as you it seems, however if you use a good self etching primer on some nice dry steel first it makes a world of difference, an oil base first coat would work well too I would think.
it looks so beautiful! Can't wait for the color matching and cubes it will bring the truck back to life!! By the way when I was on my vacation to Missouri, I saw two Cummins reping the Duck it stickers!! Yall getting somewhere keep it up!!
FYI when you paint bare mettle ...use self etching primer first it bonds to the mettle chemically then provides a substrate to be top coated with your choice of paints.
You guys should both wrap your trucks with exspell. It's thick clear vinyl to protect your paint. Sense your paints mint and your brother just got his paint it'll save you from chips and stuff. Then your brother could also color match his mirrors without worrying about chips.
bumper looks good even better when he gets it all how he wants it. kinda wish he brought the silver paint up to the other body line to match the front bumper.
I like the 4th gen bumper looks good when its color matchedit gonna look great. I Own a 2014 Dodge ram Laramie 1500 and I love the look. But really cool to see guys doing stuff like this with the new bumpers on older trucks.
When I did my 4th gen bumper swap I mounted the brackets to the bumper then put it on the truck. Really made it easy and fast since I did it myself with no help. I know there's more then one way to skin a cat just thought I would throw it out there. I ordered my sport grill from LMC I think it was only 175 shipped if I remember correctly, either way both trucks look amazing, love all the videos
I live in a small town and the fact that I drove by the junk yard and found a sport dodge with the bumper and grill in good condition is awesome. I bought the grill but idk if I want to but the bumper bc I really want to do a 4th gen lol
I picked up a sport grill for my truck off of eBay actually. Was an aftermarket grill but it fit quite well! If I remember it wasn't very expensive either.
whats up brother just want you to know that once you do the trans build up its gunna make a huge difference. i did the trans before i did pretty much anything else and the truck runs like a whole new beast. i only have trans intake exhaust tuner and lift pump and she runs like a damn dream. can't wait till you do that big job trust me your going love it. love your videos btw!!!!!!
idk if you have put much back there but... hows the raptor liner holding up? really considering in the bed of my 2nd gen but I use the bed alot and don't know how well it holds up
Hey Parodoxz I like your 01 Dodge Ram 2500 24-valve Cummins Diesel and I like your Hunters 99 Dodge Ram 2500 24 valve Cummins diesel and I like the 4th gen bumper one the 2nd gens truck it makes it a lot cleaner then the stock bumper keep up the new videos bro and I like your new four wheelers and your brothers four wheeler too
Bumper looks good. I see you have a topside creeper, how you like it? I got mine a few weeks ago and wish I had know of their existence years ago. It's so much easier working on the truck now.
I remember the older dodge trucks and then one day the ram model trucks were on the scene , they have been the king of trucks since. I would say older or newer the ram model truck has come a long way and is still going but one day there going to make them ev trucks and that is a good reason to store them trucks of today away to save or keep because they will be worth more than money is.
Thank yall for watching! Don't forget to drop a like and subscribe to my brothers RUclips channel! His RUclips link will be in the description on top!
ParoDoXz love both of your channels! This video got my excited beachside I'll be doing a 4th Gen bumper on my truck soon too!
ParoDoXz I've used that undercoating before and just to let you know after like 9 weeks it started fading to grey so it's not totally uv resistant.
ParoDoXz you should check out LOUD N' PROUD channel his truck is looking good
Hakkd Garage he's seen it haha👌
ParoDoXz, what year bumpers are the 4th gens? And where can I get one?
i like that 4th gen bumper a lot more, but i would not recommend rubberized undercoating, use enamel paint and oil spray over top of it. the rubberized garbage traps moisture and PROMOTES rust growth
Mike Utoober Thank you for the feedback man! I will look into that!
Mike Utoober, I have had the same experience as you it seems, however if you use a good self etching primer on some nice dry steel first it makes a world of difference, an oil base first coat would work well too I would think.
His truck is coming together great!! Love seeing the progress of vehicles built and people making them their own work of art...
D G Yes it is! And me too!
Just started watching your giving me so many ideas for my 95 Dodge Ram 1500
it looks so beautiful! Can't wait for the color matching and cubes it will bring the truck back to life!! By the way when I was on my vacation to Missouri, I saw two Cummins reping the Duck it stickers!! Yall getting somewhere keep it up!!
Automotive Guru Thanks man! And nice! Good to know they are out there on he road!
looks good, a thought, maybe some tinted fog lights like your bros truck. both trucks are sweet.
Andy Valdez That's a good idea!
wicked video! very in depth and descriptive - this is the ONLY video with all the info you would need. Trucks look sick!
djcon That's how I try and make them man! Glad you enjoyed!
It’s crazy how that 4th gen bumper fits the truck so well. Looks awesome👍🏻
I think it looks good , great job guys!! Look really good after it's wrapped and the new grill gets installed .
you guys are like how me and my brother where on trucks before he passed but im still doing wat my brother wanted to my truck
FYI when you paint bare mettle ...use self etching primer first it bonds to the mettle chemically then provides a substrate to be top coated with your choice of paints.
bumper looks amazing. I just can't get over how good it looks. Looks amazing.
A good tip to help save the radiator, condenser, and Transmission cooler, is find some mesh from a screen door and drape it in front of everything
Cronus577 That's a good idea!
Got to get mine installed! I already have my cubes and mount ready to go along with 20" bar in the center with those mounts too! So nice!!
love both the trucks. you and your brother have inspired me to save up money for a second gen Cummins. have always wanted one
Kyle Tallman Thanks man! They are great trucks!
I think the chrome bumper looks pretty good
MAN! I think the fourth gen bumper looks great guys. Pumped to see them coming along.👍🏻👍🏻
CHVLKiD We are too man! Thanks!
4th gen bumper looks good. Your truck is still my favorite super clean and beautiful truck man
Tanner Millet Thanks man! I appreciate that! She's still got a long way to go though!
Love the videos can't wait for more 4 wheeling and truck mudding videos congrats on the 32k man keep them coming love it 😄😄
Thanks bro! I appreciate you supporting the channel!
You guys should both wrap your trucks with exspell. It's thick clear vinyl to protect your paint. Sense your paints mint and your brother just got his paint it'll save you from chips and stuff. Then your brother could also color match his mirrors without worrying about chips.
that 4th gen bumper looks really nice, y'all are making me want to go out and get me a second gen Cummins now
yung savage Yeah it does! And they are great trucks!
I love it and when it's color matched it'll look great one thing I think would've looked great was paint the outline of the taillights and mirrors
bumper looks good even better when he gets it all how he wants it. kinda wish he brought the silver paint up to the other body line to match the front bumper.
Use the stuff you used to line the bed on the inside of your bed panels and fenders to prevent Rust ! And the inner part of bumpers as well
4gen bumper looks good. When you color match it your line from top corner of bumper pass the tire to the line on door is going to be off like 2-3"
Cummins 03 Thanks man! And true
Good God you have somehow found a way to make that truck more beautiful than it was before.
Nice ParoDoXz! it's always good when you can do the work yourself, you appreciate it better!
I like the 4th gen bumper looks good when its color matchedit gonna look great. I Own a 2014 Dodge ram Laramie 1500 and I love the look. But really cool to see guys doing stuff like this with the new bumpers on older trucks.
I'm actually surprised it looks really good, will be better once it gets color matched, great job guys
We were very happy with it man! Thank you!
Bumper looks good, obviously will look a ton better with the color match and grille installed.
Tyler Spellman Oh yeah man!
Look at LMC truck parts for a sport grill
Best diesel content on RUclips right now hands down!👍
Devin Hoskins check out greg alberella
Devin Hoskins Thanks man! And Greg has a great channel as well! Very good guy!
I have a 3rd gen cummins...and your right bro...the amount of shit u can put in it is endless...its cool because u can never get bored of owning it
You guys need to get 4th gen tow mirrors. I just bought some for my 2nd gen and they make the truck look so much better
Caden Crutsinger I like both mirrors, new and old, the cool thing about the new ones is the blinkers built in
Just subscribed. Liking the truck videos. Been watching since you shipped it from Hawaii. Looking forward to seeing more.
ospreys4life08 Thank you for subscribing and supporting the channel man! Means a lot!
ParoDoXz Thank you for serving our country. Hope Army life isn't too hard on you.
Best videos on RUclips I like them before I watch them!!
Seth Holmes Thanks bro! Likes help a ton!

Headyglass 710 That's true man! And thank you for the feedback, we will look into that!
I live in a small town and the fact that I drove by the junk yard and found a sport dodge with the bumper and grill in good condition is awesome. I bought the grill but idk if I want to but the bumper bc I really want to do a 4th gen lol
Granny Haha very lucky find!
I picked up a sport grill for my truck off of eBay actually. Was an aftermarket grill but it fit quite well! If I remember it wasn't very expensive either.
Mitch Fowler Nice man! Thank you for the feedback!
Also wanted to say that I recently found your channel and I love it ! Giving me ideas for when I get a 3rd gen
"He's cleaning rocks out of his tires " lmao I don't see how rocks stick in those bald tires lol
Matt Parks Lol only the small rocks!
RAD VIDEO really sucks you only have 32k subs for such a rad channel
Jake Wicha Thanks bro! Greatful for what I have but definitely want more! Lol
This conversion is bad ass!!! Definitely doing it to my 99
Awesome video man! Keep up the good work! When is the raptor lining tintable video of your truck coming?
Thanks for watching man! Im not sure, but my brothers bed liner vid will be out soon!
whats up brother just want you to know that once you do the trans build up its gunna make a huge difference. i did the trans before i did pretty much anything else and the truck runs like a whole new beast. i only have trans intake exhaust tuner and lift pump and she runs like a damn dream. can't wait till you do that big job trust me your going love it. love your videos btw!!!!!!
4 generation front bumper really looks great!
I like the air dam on the bottom of the bumper. Most guys take them off but it looks better with it on IMO
It grew on me for sure, I didnt like it at first though
Once that gets color matched that truck is gonna look sick
idk if you have put much back there but... hows the raptor liner holding up? really considering in the bed of my 2nd gen but I use the bed alot and don't know how well it holds up
So for the 4th gen conversion you just needed the brackets from overkill and a 2010-2018 2500 bumper?
looks pretty good but a color matching roll pan in the back would top it off 💪
the chrome looks good with the black
The cubes and a light bar in the middle would look sweet
Love rocking the "duck it" sticker although I've been given crap by a few cummins guys lol
Duramax Pat Haha thank you for supporting the sticker! Tell them I said the sticker is for all vehicles!
1st 4th gen bumper I've seen that I've liked
Lane Hooper Thanks man! We think it turned out great!
It looks good, it will look alot better when it black out.
4th Gen Bumper is Amazing! If I had any bumper choice on a 2nd gen I would go 4th gen bumper.
They look good! Thanks for watching man!
Wow that is fantastic Thanks Now I have to change mine
Hey Parodoxz I like your 01 Dodge Ram 2500 24-valve Cummins Diesel and I like your Hunters 99 Dodge Ram 2500 24 valve Cummins diesel and I like the 4th gen bumper one the 2nd gens truck it makes it a lot cleaner then the stock bumper keep up the new videos bro and I like your new four wheelers and your brothers four wheeler too
once the color is matched it'll look pretty sick
love what you guys are doing keep it up
2017dodge_ Cummins Thanks man! We will!
btw, trucks are looking good!
Have you tried looking for the grille on LMC truck yet but thing is you have to paint it
Looks great guys!! Both sweet trucks! Is he goin to put cab lights on his?
Justin Guild Thanks man! I don't think so though
New to your channel! Awesome trucks. I have a 98 2nd gen with a 4th gen bumper :)
Get 2 six inch light bars to fill in the light holes in the front
Trump Supporter That's a good idea
Wheel well covers also greatly prevent rust
Taking that sport bumper off for a 4th gen would be a horrible idea imo. I'm not a fan of the 4th gen one, but I LOVE those sports..👍
Looks soooo sweet!!!!!!!!!
Looks real good man
best bumper to us love the look of it
Really really nice Dodge Ram trucks 👍👍👍
Bumper looks good. I see you have a topside creeper, how you like it? I got mine a few weeks ago and wish I had know of their existence years ago. It's so much easier working on the truck now.
sycostang67 Thanks man! And I love it bro!
ur bro's bumper looks good!!!
TheNastyboypro Thanks man! We think so too!
Hey bud , looks nice. Im interested in your tire size and your lift? Leveling? 4wd? Thats a really nice setup...
Rim game on point
you can get a sport grill at Lmc truck chrome or unpainted
Like the new bumper!
I woulda painted it silver to match the bottom...still nice though!!
Looks great man!
Bradford Halliburton Thanks bro! We think so too!
Did you have to cut the 4th gen bumper to line up in the wheel wells? I'm curious bc I have heard of people having to cut and weld it back together.
Remington Jarrell No we didn't
It looks so good chrome!
ParoDoXz did your truck come with the fog lights
I got my sport grille for like $80 at partsgeek. That's the cheapest I could find. Had to get the grille bracket from LMC though.
Thank you for the feedback man!
What all parts of the original 4th gen brackets does it require
Love the video 👍🏽💪🏽 keep up the grind
Thanks steady! Hope you've been doing good bro!
I remember the older dodge trucks and then one day the ram model trucks were on the scene , they have been the king of trucks since. I would say older or newer the ram model truck has come a long way and is still going but one day there going to make them ev trucks and that is a good reason to store them trucks of today away to save or keep because they will be worth more than money is.
Do you think it would look better if the silver was up one body line just to match the front bumper
Dream trucks 💪🏽👍🏼
Ughhh can't wait to put mine on
Dirty Diesel Productions Yeah man!
looks friggin awesome
Thanks man! We appreciate you watching!
has your brother thought about doing black chrome front grille what's the difference between sport grille and standard is sport just color matched
Yes, sport grill is just color matched, but also a slightly different shape
best looking cummins
dual steering stabilizers😎
*valence not with a B lol. Awesome vid man
Brandon McConnell Haha thanks man!
Great content my man keep it up
Ben Relyea Thanks bro! I will!
Is he going to put some mud tires in it cuz the would look good on it with the rims and trucks
looks good brother.
Randy Thomason Thanks bro!
I would leave it chrome
waiting for y'all to get some motorcycles 👌🏍️ maybe some Moto vlogs for the channel ayeee
jeremy vaiz He wants one
