Is there a JU or Colorado K5 for (late model) Dodge Rams? - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Is there a JU or Colorado K5 for (late model) Dodge Rams? I'm not really interested in tech (can get that here or the TDR), I'm just looking for a BB w/a good for sale section to find aftermarket stuff for my DD.

Thanks, guys. I found the for sale sections on the 3 links that tv_larson posted (I even found a guy who had one of the things I'm looking for, but it was sold), but not on the dodgeram.org that bwright posted. Am I missing something?

what kind of stuff are you looking to get for your truck???....chris

The 2 things I want right now are the JL Audio stealthbox that fits under the center seat, and the Mopar tow hooks. I'm not entirely sold on the tow hooks, may end up with a front hitch instead, but if I do I'd like it to be like the ones you see on the rear of low riders, where you remove or flip down the license plate. I don't plan on using it much, this truck is basically just the DD/tow rig, but the one time I had to pull someone backwards, I had to wrap the tow strap around the front axle, kind of a pain when halfway burried in sand. I really haven't researched the front hitch much.

trying to put towhooks on a SPORT is going to be challenging, that's why I opted for the front receiver hitch from Drawtite---hardest part of install is getting the hole cut in the front bumper-I removed the front license plate; I couldn't find the flip down license plate --I've got the JL twin 10" under the rear seat and do they produce--but there are lot's of guys who have the center console one and love it----chris

My understanding was the only thing I had to do specail on the Sport was to cut two holes in the air dam (that are suposedly already positioned on the back in the mold). Note mine is a '97, the front bumper is similar to the standard one, just body color (not the big newer plastic jobs).

So does your reciever exit where the license plate was, and if so, how far does it stick out (less than the plate)? I could fab a flip down or removeable plate. Got any pics showing it?

Unfortunatly, somebody bought the stealthbox I was looking at on ebay.

since mine's the '99(different style Sport bumper) the hitch doesn't stick out at all past the bumper...chris
