After 2 years of faithful service BDS is selling Project Slate, our workhorse 2013 RAM 3500. While its served us valiantly over the last couple years as a show hauler, promo truck, and test mule for new product development and show, its time to let this late model Cummins go and bring on the next project. We bought this truck new back in 2013; one of the RAM HDs equipped with the new radius arm front suspension. It gave us a leg up in the development and first-to-market releases of 2” leveling and 4”, 6”, and 8” suspension lifts for the late model RAMs. In Fall of 2013 the decision was made to transform this into the bad ass show piece it is today. Within 4 short weeks the truck was transformed into Project Slate and shown at the 2013 SEMA Show in Las Vegas (watch the buildup videos). After hauling our displays and vehicles out to SEMA this RAM took its spot among the other show rigs raising tons of interest at the show. Since SEMA ’13, Project Slate has been used as our primary show hauler attending events around the country including Easter Jeep Safari, 4Wheel Jamboree Series, Jeep Beach, Carlisle Truck Nationals and numerous dealer shows. With 29,500 miles on the odometer, this Cummins has earned a place in the heart of the entire BDS crew. Its been featured in multiple publications with a feature story in Diesel World Magazine and numerous ads for several companies.
