2010 RAM LARAMIE
2010 RAM LARAMIE
Julian Pantoja from Illinois likes to say, “You just gotta keep livin’ man.” Well Julian does a lot of his living through his 2010 RAM Laramie. He uses it as both his daily driver and show truck, with mods such as his starlight headliner, powder-coated springs, rock light/wheel lights, a custom 8-inch tip, a custom interior and 24x14s KG1 forged wheels with Nitto 420 tires highlighting his build. He also has it fully color-matched.
In the near future he’d like to add a 6-inch lift from Air Lift as well as a full sound system. Keep on livin’, Julian.

He has a 3.5-inch lift with Bilstein shocks, 26×14 American Truxx wheels and 19 Oracle rock lights with Oracle wheel ring lights. He’s also had some fun with the color. He bought the blackout edition brand-new but switched everything over to chrome and also color-matched it as much as he could. Going forward he wants more lift and a full tune.
