Damn that is a gorgeous truck Tow mirrors, maybe a bumper if thats what ya like to do Id put a set of running boards on it, Bed liner, I think the third gen badges would look the best on it to honest with you with the chrome touch to it... It be kinda hard to black that truck out for me, I think that the fire engine red and chrome would look the best... Good job man!!! hope you like it!

man so far everyone thats looked at it has loved it. my uncle is a 7.3 man and hates dodges with a passion. and he actually loved it so much he wanted to drive it. stayed gone for an hour!

i had in mind blacking it out and putting stacks in it, but i just cant force myself to do either of the two. especially not cutting holes in it!

the bed has only been used for dirtbikes and the first owner used it to tow camper for 27000 miles. so this truck has hardly been used at all. im definitely getting nerf bars for it, i have to jump to get inside just about .. and im keeping the exhaust as it is. also i have halos, and towing mirrors on the list. and also 5% tint all around. just need some extra $$. should be done within a month

Yea dont stack it I think she looks good the way she does, halo likes would look nice on it. I like how stacks look but I cant bring myself to cut holes into a perfectly good bed, and takes up space and wouldent look good with my took box on also. Your uncle may be lookin to get one now!! I just got back from a 600 mile trip to Gallup NM I gate that drove got 19 mpg... You can get some 3rd gen wheels on there and sheel look real good. but Iwould wear the tires out first... And if theyre lasting like mine itll be a while...

No stacks, definatley get seat covers to protect those pristine seats and sash pad or some towels for time being.

i think it looks great this way too. id love to put some nice stacks on it, i just dont know. i think the smoke would ruin the paint. my ford looks awful has black soot all over it.. especially when it rains. i dont have to worry about space now with the long bed

i avered 21.6 on the way from virginia back to kentucky. about a 80 mile drive. im pretty impressed! im just not the best at driving a standard yet.. i actually taught myself yesterday by hopping in it and going! i figured if i can drive my fourwheeler with a clutch why not just give it a go . my tires are lasting very well! the guy said he has 10-15k miles on them and i honestly cant tell they have even been worn any hardly!

i think i got an awesome deal! all i have to do is change an ABS sensor tomorrow, but the guy bought me one for free so that should be a quick 5 minute procress

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

yea i need to get money for some seat covers i do believe! and yea ill be waxing it tomorrow! i might see if i can find a tip that matches and just run duals. i want a little bit louder. i honestly want it to sound like it has stacks without having stacks. any ideas?

Duals to me take away from the noise in honesty... Trust me I think that thing is louder than most stacked exhaust from a 5 in to a 6 inc... Your big rig status. Once you get good at shifting you can start speed shifting using the truck rpms to shift instead of the clutch! and the ABS is as easy as pickin your nose... I bought mossy oak covers I wanted to buy the neoprene covers but I dont have 300 bucks for seat covers... But shes good lookin!!

Ive ran Good Year Duratracs for 27k On my ole pick up Loved them, little noise but handle snow realy well, and mud, gravel, and seem to be nail resistant. I got the kellys TSR's because they are made by good year and share the same design as the Duratracs, and are 40 bucks cheaper, because they cost 250 bucks a piece now...But my next set will be 285's fill up the wheel wells.
