Probably would have to be a black 97-03 F-150 Flareside lariet extended cab. The newer the better. With about a 6-10" lift and 35-39" tires. Probably 35"s would be all I'd need.

That would probably be my dream look wise. Not a diesel would also be nice. I like my truck a lot too and it's not too far from what I'd want it to be.

Honestly, my dream vehicle is a 1969 or 1970 Dodge Charger R/T. That's what I'd really like to have more than any truck.

I just found mine last Monday. It showed up on Autotrader so I immediately emailed them and it sold two days before the ad appeared. That makes perfect sense.

$300+k invested, OMFG, more money than brains Id say.

Always liked those Sniper kits, wish they made them for the r/c s/b Rams

Im still working on building my dream truck slowly but surely. When I have it back together, should be in the range of 700-750hp (7-8psi) with the parts I have currently.

Thumbs up I'm not saying this is a dream truck...

I didn't say this is everyones dream truck but I always wanted one and got one. I was thinking about these little upgrades let me know what you think. Just got a new paint job of Viper Red

Dual Exhaust
Diamond Plate Bedrails,
Diamond Plate Toolbox
New Grill (starting to bubble)
Bigger Tires
and if I get real crazy a K&N Intake but my friend bought one said there was little difference in fuel mileage, anyone disagree?

Have you considered buying the kit and retrofitting it to your truck? The front could be cut in
half vertically and fiberglassed to extend and match the contours. Anywhere else that the
parts come up short could also be extended with fiberglass. Just a thought.
