Hey I found this site while searching for pics of trucks with stacks because I am thinking about getting some...

Here is a little about me and my truck...

I just switched over to the Diesel side not too long ago, traded my 05 Dodge 1500 Hemi truck for an almost identical (just new styling) 07 2500 CTD.

Mods:
So far the new truck has 6" BDS lift w/dual front stabilizers, 37" Nitto Mud Grapplers, Westin step bars, MBRP 4" exhaust, Banks 6 gun with both the speed loader and PDA, Airaid MIT cold air intake system, CFM+ intake manifold, Eclipse Nav/DVD/CD headunit with built in backup camera display, Tinted windows, cowl hood, GN hitch, and weatherguard tool box. The truck was also partially de-badged by the previous owner, all the Cummins emblems are taken off as well as the SLT and a few others on the rear...

TODO's:
Replace the front bumper (slight accident damage behind the front license bracket, nothing else really looks damaged so I am just going to replace the bumper), Maybe replace the front grill with a modified Sterling Bullet grill (modified by removing the "STERLING" and symbol), maybe a different tire combo, I might stay with 36-37" tires but I want them tucked in a little more and something where the tread isn't too loud (watch my vids to hear how loud the tires are) and with a higher weight rating for towing, OUO drop receiver w/ supports, Aux lift pump (AirDog II), upgrading the clutch, 90HP injectors, then adding more power without sacrificing daily use and towing (thinking maybe compound turbo or decent towing single), OK those last few (everything past upgrading the clutch) are just part of my wish list, LOL...

Here are some pics of my truck...

Here are some more but they are too large to embed into the forum (I put details in case anyone just wanted to skip around, and some are the same shots as above but bigger):

same angle(ish) but closer, you can make out the dents in the front bumper
http://www.pszweb.com/truck/New%20Truck/DSCN1984.JPG
more of the bumper damage (not much) and down the drivers side
http://www.pszweb.com/truck/New%20Truck/DSCN1985.JPG
I just realized this isn't the best pic, but it was a shot of the stuff for the GN hitch
http://www.pszweb.com/truck/New%20Truck/DSCN1986.JPG
driver side angled from the rear, you can still see that the truck is wet and dirty, sorry...
http://www.pszweb.com/truck/New%20Truck/DSCN1987.JPG
passenger side angled from the rear, you can see a little wavyness in the rear door, it's not a dent, just wavy panel, someone probably leaned on it or a dent was there an was poped out, you also see the recon LED 3rd brake light...
http://www.pszweb.com/truck/New%20Truck/DSCN1988.JPG
passenger side angled from the front, you see the wavy door a little more with the sun behind it, also notice there are no Cummins logos on either side of the truck...

Front from the passenger side, I love the cowl hood, and you can also see more of the front bumper damage

The NEW and I mean installed the day I picked up the truck new exhaust, tailpipe

a shot of the new muffler and all that from inside the rear pass. wheel well
http://www.pszweb.com/truck/New%20Truck/DSCN1994.JPG
the interior is in good shape, just a little spot on the side of the seat, but hey there is just something about a manual trans truck

shot of the driver side front with the hood up, can see more of the bumper damage too

Oh, and if you couldn't tell the windows are tinted, I put a white bag on the center console and you can barely make it out in this shot in the daylight, drvers window
http://www.pszweb.com/truck/New%20Truck/DSCN2006.JPG
shot of the back with the tailgate down, you can see the bed liner that the dealership installed because the bed was scratched up and had a GN hitch so they just covered it up,

shot of the 3rd brake light sliding rear window and toolbox

shot looking trough the drivers window, see how tinted that is compared to the background next to the door?
http://www.pszweb.com/truck/New%20Truck/DSCN2009.JPG
The rear tint is even darker, it looks like it had the factory tint then they added aftermarket stuff, you can see some scratches on the inside of the aftermarket stuff

shot of the Eclipse in dash Nav unit that also plays CD's DVD's and so on, there is also a wire in the console (not pictured to attach your Ipod (I just don't have an Ipod,
