HoneyBadger Farm Truck Build

[SSF556]

Well time to turn the farm truck into something a little cooler.

2012 Ram 3500 Diesel that I purchased back in 2019 from a member here at Expo.

Current setup

PowerWagon wheels with 285/75/17 Coopers
AEV mudflaps
Kore level kit with Bilstein
Rear Airbags



First big add is an ARB front bumper with a WARN 16.5 synthetic. Thanks to @Kingsize24 for answering all my text messages about the ARB bumper.



Also ordered a complete set of Asfir underbody protection.



Future Projects

ARB rear air locker

That's gotta be one of the nicest "farm trucks" I have seen.

Most of the time they are a beat up, pile of crap.

Got the ARB bumper on today with the help of a tractor. Was a huge help since everything you see there weighs 350 pounds. The OEM chrome bumper weighed 50 pounds so added 300 pounds to the front of the truck! Again thanks @Kingsize24 for helping me through the process!

The big ARB modular is a fantastic bumper.

Get out the hole saw!
To which I would add, cutting big holes in curved sheetmetal doesn't always go as planned-- if you can glue a small (3/4"-1") block of oak/maple/hardwood on to hold the pilot bit, then go real slow, you are much less likely to wander...
Block can go in inside or outside the fender, use PL or another multi-surface glue and let it fully cure, make sure your pilot bit is well in it before the teeth touch your paint.

Thanks for the heads up. I bought before it went out of production. So no real plans right this moment to install it.
