Ok guys, I've upgraded. I am now the proud owner of a 1999 Dodge 1500, extended cab long box with 119,000 miles on her 5.9. From the bottom up I have 285/75r16 Firestone Destinations, 16" Ultra Mavericks, 1.5" Wheel spacers, 2"HBS leveling kit, timbrens, 2.5' cat back Y-duals with 4" rolled tips with Stampede ruff riders fender flares, B&W flip over goose neck ball, Better Built tool box and a homemade Headache rack and 30% tint on the windows. I'm looking for input on front bumper choices/ modifications. I would like to keep it relatively cheap or do it myself. I've gone with a black and white theme and I am not a huge fan of the grey plastic. I was thinking paint the grey part black, and then pick up a black chrome kit for my chrome insert and rear bumper. But I would love to know what you guys are running or of any suggestions! Pictures are always appreciated. Thank you.

 

Damn. For a Minnesota truck, that is in excellent condition. You guys don't use salt on the roads there? (I wish MINE looked that good.......)

What do you want to do with your truck? Is it a work truck? Off-Roader? Pavement Queen? Daily Driver? Also, what do you think needs improvement? (don't forget the usual plenum issues...... )

 

Haha Minnesota without salt? Those too are never separated but she looks really nice for a MN truck! Cheap black bumper would be plasti-dip like mine is in my sig. Question for you: how do you like the rolled tips? Next exhaust job I get id like to do rolled tips and wanted some input on them.

 

Been a Minnesota pickup her whole life, and we use a ton of salt up here! As far as use its my all all around vehicle. Back and forth to work, pulling horse/stock trailers (farm pickup use) and a camper every now and then. Maybe the boat to the lake if I ever get a day off. I did check the plenum already and its still good. It was actually my old man's pickup, he bought it with around 5,000 miles on it. He upgraded to an 05 2500, so I sold my pickup and figured it was right to keep this one in the family.

 

Blue mopar, as far as the rolled tips, I love them! I've had a few different tips but this is my first set of rolled. I would definitely recommend them, they add a deeper throatier sound, and I think they give a more finished/clean look. But that's just in my opinion.

 

I think your truck looks great and your tires and rims are an eye catcher. A buddy of mine got me a black bumper for my 99. Gonna work on black on the front. K.

 

Thank you! That black rear bumper looks really sharp! I may have to consider that too!

 

Thanks MN for the input on the tips!

 

Truck looks great.

As for ideas... have you considered going all white (bumpers, flares, grille) to get kinda the Sport edition looks?

 

I have! and I really like the look, but my rockers and flares have rubberized coating on them. I feel like I won't be able to get paint to stick. I could be wrong though!
