Our goal to make our 2005 Dodge Ram 3500 4x4 the ultimate multitasker has been a long journey. Over the last few months we've added a Banks Big Hoss Bundle to give us gobs of power, a KORE Race Series suspension to soak up serious bumps, and Glassworks Unlimited fiberglass fenders and bedsides to set our truck apart. We also selected Toyo 37-inch-diameter Open Country M/Ts on Weld Racing's trick new forged aluminum beadlocks to allow traction in any terrain and to let us air down.

In the first two parts of Project Heavy Metal, we made major improvements to our Dodge Ram 3500's suspension with the help of KORE Performance along with eye-boggling amounts of torque and horsepower courtesy of Banks Power. Now it's time to zero in on the details to further refine our Ram and set it apart from the rest of the pack. As with any project, it's the smaller details properly executed that will greatly add to the overall package.

Finding the right parts and products for our 2005 Dodge Ram 3500 4x4 is no easy task. Our intent has always been to make our Dodge a great multi-tasker. Whether for daily driving, slow-speed trails, prerunning or working as a tow rig, our Dodge has to perform every job we throw at it with ease. Locating parts to make improvements in each of these areas without detracting from the others is no easy endeavor.

Finding the perfect new truck is never easy. In our case it was even more of a challenge because we needed one that could do it all. From daily driver to chase truck to prerunner to tow rig our new truck had to be the ultimate in multi-tasking. The search was long and arduous but it finally came to an end when we happened across a smoking deal on a barely used 2005 Dodge Ram 3500 Quad Cab 4x4 equipped with the venerable Cummins engine.
