Rims are not my taste. BUT, as you said-- it's rare to find anything aftermarket that bolts up for us!!

Good lookin truck!

after a wash/cut polish...it looks much better in person. i reccomend a cut polish to anyone who may be considering a paint job, it took out all the minor scuffs/scratches etc and looks like a new paint job almost.

Nice ride. Where did you get your upholstery done? I like the colors you chose to match your truck.

Cut polish is basically when the detailer takes a fine layer of faded clear off then re polishes it with wax/polish. It's well worth it if your paint is dull or faded.

The upholstery was done by a local upholstery shop called united upholstery I believe. They've done about three cars for me. I cannot complain about the quality if work when it comes to seats with these guys.

well folks, it was nice while it lasted, i guess i wont be going my 5.9l swap.....about 3 weeks ago someone stole my dak on sunday between 8-9 am. truck has been found completely stripped down to the cab and frame. the police officer said he couldnt even figure out what make it was till he ran the vin. they even took the drivetrain and completely gutted the interior right down to the glass.

it makes no sense as it was just the v6 model, only thing of value on the truck were the wheels and seats and audio....

now im in the market for a 94-99 ram 1500 or 97-00 dakota...and this time im cramming 26's....and gps.....
