What kind of mods are you wanting to do? Also what engine do you have, 4.7, 5.2, or 5.9? As far as the engine there is many things to do, just let us better know what you are looking for and what your price range is.

As far as the exterior if you check out IndyDurango has a thread about his truck if you search it and he has a ot of great ideas as far as detail in things you can see, as well as dressing up the engine bay.

You've picked a great forum to start with as there are many knowledgable people as far as parts, performance mods, and visual mods goes.

That was my original plan and I might still mix up both the luxury and off road look but unsure yet.... But if I was you I would do this, chrome brush guard, 4 medium size round fog style lights on the roof, 2 large ones on the brush guard, 3in lift all around, 31in or so off road tires, black or chrome cragars, 3in cowl hood, and something in the range of an 2.5 magnaflow catback.

Well first off id recommend a lift. You can do this simply by adding a body or suspension lift. You can also do a torsion bar/shackle lift which isn't too bad to do and instructions are found in the DIY section.

Also you can get a custom off road bumper from many places and this gives the bad *** appeal you're looking for, but a bully bar with some off road lights will do. Also, I'd do a roof rack with some off road light on it and put the spare tire up there.

I'd also throw some 31" tires on it (although with a lift, bigger tires are better!). Also I'd put some dual firestik cb antennas on the roof rack (what I'm personally waning to do with my cb radio).

For the inside, I'd put an Alpine radio deck with a slide out monitor and do a custom dash. In the back I'd just leave it alone, maybe add a rear seat entertainment under the seats and put monitors in the drive/passenger side headrests.


Now for the powertrain:
I'd do an Edelbrock intake manifold and a Fastman 52mm throttle body. I'd also overhaul it and put mopar Performance heads and get flat head pistons. I'd also get a performance tuned PCM flash by B&G in order for greatest performance gain. If I wanted a stock replaceable mod I'd just get a SuperChips programmer and run a custom performance tune.

I'd get custom short headers and do a custom exhaust setup. This would incoude dual MagnaFlow high flow CATs on either side coming from the headers and do dual MagnaFlow mufflers and have the exit just before the wheels. I'd also have a full 3" piping right out of the headers.

I'd re-do the gearing in the pumpkins to 4.56 in order o increase towing and ease of pulling a 7,000# trailer. If I were going for dragstrip like performance I'd go with 3.13 or 3.55 gearing in the rearend.


This is personally what I would do and hope to achieve in the future.

I have one but the display is kinda screwy it drops in and out. I replaced it with a pioneer unit so I could use a flash drive for music.
