Default 1 year anniversary

Can't believe it's almost been a year since the first day I bought my truck. It feels like I've gone through a lifetime with this truck. So much has happened to me and this truck, but I think it's helped me for the better. Believe it or not, but the truck has actually helped me in my maturity process due to dealing with so many businesses. I bought the truck July 17 of 2007, and I just about have wrapped up everything I would like to do with this pickup truck. It's insane how much time I've invested into this truck, but it's all been worth it. When I first bought this truck it was a beautiful truck from afar, but up close, it had many imperfections. It had rusting rocker panels, rusted and dented doors, tailgate, and bumper, transmission problems, front end and rear end problems, and a poorly kept interior. Since that last July, I've literally turned this truck around and she looks like she just came off the lot. It's back down to stock height now with four brand new monroe reflex shocks and some nice 285 pirelli scorpion tires. All of the bodywork has been completed including the rear bumper and the rust. It's been limo tinted all around, new headlights, and new tail lights. A brand new bedliner, a brand new transmission, and a make over on the rear end. It's also been given some goodies with a K&N intake kit, longtube headers with the matching y-pipe, plus a routy flowmaster exhaust with no cat. On top of this, it has been taken care of rigorously by getting handwashed once a week (excluding winter[8D]). I'm really happy the way things worked out with this truck. It could have easily shifted in a bad direction, but there is nothing better than ressurecting a vehicle. We did it with my brothers F-350, and now I've done it with this beautiful dodge ram truck. Next week she is being exterior detailed by the dealership which should really just cap off all of the hardwork and hassle I've gone through with this truck (headers, transmission, and rear end). I will defiantly be taking some nice pictures of the truck to show you guys what she looks like these days when she gets detailed. Although it's been a long one year, I think it's helped me out a lot. I learned from my mistakes. I love owning this black beast with that beloved 360. And I thank you guys for sticking with me through all of my pain in the *** threads

Well I can't stay with the trucks but I'm just as bad *** with my 360. I've owned mine for about 4 years and put some serious upgrades in it.

Just got back from the mountians from towing my 26' slide trailer at about 7,300 lbs up 7%-9% hill grades and rock and rolled. But then again I built my truck for towing.

Been fun playing with it!
