Nitto Mud Grapplers on 2006 Dodge RAM

Saturday, October 01, 2011

Mortuaries don’t conjure pleasant thoughts for most people, but Robbie Bryant of KEG Media, in Fort Smith, Arkansas, isn’t your typical custom-truck enthusiast. Looking at wild renderings, T-shirt designs, and tricked-out websites all day, Robbie wanted his personal project to look like something you’d never seen. He wanted a virtual cesspool filled with rotting skulls, carcasses, and the undead. We told you it was different. What he ended up with was an ’09 Dodge Ram that looks like it drove through a mortuary and the residents climbed aboard for a ride into the afterlife.

For starters, Robbie wanted a big truck. To help him with that, the team at B&C Off Road, in Pasadena, Texas, bolted on a massive 16-inch lift from 3rd Coast Suspension. Much of the suspension was powdercoated green and black to match the soon-to-be-sprayed custom paintjob. To give the Ram an even higher stance, a 3-inch body lift was installed. Chrome Fox Racing shocks do their best to damp the ride provided by 40-inch Nitto Mud Grappler tires mounted to 22x12 Fuel Off-Road Hostage wheels. Big 15-inch, six-piston brakes from Baer do an incredible job of bringing the lifted beast to a screaming halt. Powering the Dodge down Arkansas highways is a 5.7L Hemi with American Racing Headers long-tube headers, 3-inch Borla Cat-Back exhaust, Airaid intake, and a custom DiabloSport tune created by AJ Berge of www.shophemi.com. All of that power is needed to churn those massive tires, which is aided by an extended driveshaft and Yukon 4.88 gears from Randy’s Ring and Pinion.

Forty-inch Nitto Mud Grapplers are mounted to 22x12 Fuel Hostage wheels and are brought to a halt by 15-inch Baer brakes in the front and 13-inch Baer rotors in the rear.
