1301Tr 01 Maximum Exposure Issue 1 2012 Ram 1500 St

If you read Truckin magazine, even occasionally, you will probably have seen the buildup of Project New Guy. That was my first ‘bagged show truck. Well after enjoying it for over a year, I have decided to move on and purchase a new truck. I weighed my options and decided that for the money, the best truck to buy would be a new Ram.

I know that I will get flak from the Blue Oval Alliance and the General’s Army, but I couldn't beat the truck that I got for the price. So I am now the proud owner of a 2012 Ram 1500 ST. Being that I will be making payments on it for a couple years, I am not going to be cutting this one up…at least at first.

For now, I am looking for several daily driver mods including a 2-4-inch drop with a set of 22 or 24-inch wheels. With an intake, exhaust, and maybe some headers—I should be all set for a while. So keep an eye out in the magazine for tech stories and if you have any suggestions for what you think I should do with it, send me an email at maxwell.matthewson@sorc.com
