Default My Rig....

Here's one of my Dodges....
The other two are a '79 Power Wagon W200 3/4 4x4 reg cab long bed with a warm 360 w/39.5 Iroks, and a '80 Power Wagon W200 3/4 4x4 reg cab 7' flatbed with a stock 360 & 33" BFG A/T's...

This is my baby though.. Right now she's had some downtime due to NV4500 and South Bend FE clutch having some problems... the tranny is getting rebuilt with all the good stuff (big billet shafts, cast extension housing, brass synchros, dual disc, etc)....

I took the stacks off and put my 4" back on just for something different but I'm going to mitre cut the stacks and polish them up and put 'em back on.. I just got the grill done (chrome to blue) and debadged her (possibly adding 03+ badges, not sure yet) and I got to put on my new stainless drop bumper on back.. some future mods are: 03-05 headlights, 01-02 fold out tow mirrors, custom winch bumper, delivery valves, head work, and who knows what else ...

PICS!!!!!!!

Thanks guys.. the Iroks are sweet tires. Obviously they aren't a high mileage tire, but i'm not 100% sure what you meant by "how do they hold up" .... They are awesome in mud (oh yea this truck sees mud!) I'm always the guy pullin everyone else out ... I don't usually go places I KNOW I'll get stuck cuz no one would be able to pull me out really (thus the winch that's goin to go on there someday LOL)...

The 03-05 headlights SHOULD fit in the fenders ok, i did some rough measurements and observations one day i had one of mine off (my bumper was off at the time when i did the body lift) and we were installing hide-away strobes in a buddie's newer Ram so we took his light and held it up to my truck, but the metal structure behind the headlight, that the light attaches to will have to be cut out and rebuilt because the newer lights are deeper, then the newer plugs will have to be wired into the existing headlight harness to work which is the easy part. The newer lights very likely won't work with a stock bumper because they are taller, but the bumper i'm building for it will compensate for that anyway. So, with a bit of work hopefully they'll go right in LOL... not a fast or easy swap but it'll be worth it, besides those headlights are WAY better at night than mine and they just would look totally awesome on it i think!

I used to have 5" chrome miter cut stacks on it, then i took them off and put on 6" stainless stacks but they were flat top type and too tall and also needed polished badly so i'm goin to miter cut 'em and polish the crap out of them and hopefully they clean up good if not maybe i'll look into chrome ones again...
