Just got this new Lime Green 2016 Ram 2500 on Thursday. Had to fly up to Chattanooga to get it. No dealer I called has ever heard of this color. Been wanting a lime green one for two years. Gotta be different ya know! My yellow 2500 is now for sale. First this I did was to pull off the bed so I could get paint behind the cab.

I started on the bed first. Taped it off, sanded it down, sprayed the black, let it dry a couple hours, did the silver marble, untapped it, then clear coated it. It will look like my yellow one when it's done.

Once the bed was done, I started on the cab. There's a ton more taping with all the door jambs. I had to pull the step bars off too. There will be large black flares installed too.

Dam 2016 and already painting it. What year was yellow one in 2014 they went irs supposed to ride a lot better been looking for 14 cummins and up haven't found the right deal yet. Green looks sweet btw. I'm big fan of the blue to.

Yellow one is a 2010. It rides just as good as the 2016 but has waaayyy more power. Yellow one has 525hp and 980 lbs of torque. H&S Tuner and MBRP full exhaust. Asking $36,500

Its 5 days old, I am surprised it made through the weekend without getting the sandpaper put to it. Looks great as expected-

Congrats on the new purchase, I like the green. Of course I can't resist stiring the "big 3" pot up.....why didn't you go for the ford king ranch 6.7? I ve always felt they were more comfortable for long tows

When I Think of the King Ranch I think of some big fat dude with a lot of money that's too lazy to walk anywhere and always pay someone else to do all his work. Besides I like stuff that nobody else has. And nobody else makes a lime green truck

It's not IRS it's 5 link coil setup But it's gotta be better then leafs.

Randy have you tried to find a tune for it yet? I herd some epa issues put them on hold.

I probably won't put a tuner on it until the warranty is up. I put one on my yellow truck and didn't have any problems but you never know.

Excuse me sir!!
I just happen to own a King Ranch and the body loves the ride!!......

FYI, I'm not a BIG FAT dude, have very little $, walk many miles every morning with my dogs, enjoy cutting my own lawn, do my own work etc.....

BTW, That color GREEN

quickly reminds me how I felt when I was young, left the bar late or when I woke up the next morning.....

They will see you coming for many miles for sure.....

GLW it......

I got the cab all taped up. Then I sprayed everything. Took me a long time to tape up the door jambs, but they came out super clean. I untapped it this afternoon and also put the flares on the bed to see how they looked.
