Go muddin'. Tons of guys around here swear that a good coat of mud on the truck makes it 10x more badass.

and you cant forget the big 8 ft whip antennas that aren't hooked up to anything. Lots of people up here think they're badass I personally hate them especially when they aren't even hooked up

you could make indivdual pipes for your exhaust ports and run em out the top of the hood i always thought that looked pretty badass. tail lights are a must i hate the stockers. i love the look of a visor running acrossed the top of the windshield but they're expensive so i aint got one. maybe some mud flaps with the hotchicks on em. some flame stickers will make you go faster as well.

oh and if you are going to go with bigger tires, it aint cheap but you'll want to look into doing gears at the same time. i plan on going up to 35's soon with a 5" lift, so back in january i installed new 4:56's. the kit was right under 500 for and included front and rear gears and mostly everything you'll need. i needed wheel bearings in the rear and depending on the shape of the hub assembly up front you might need to replace those as well. you can get em at autozone for about 100$ or if you look around online long enough you can find em as low as 45 or 50$. while your there do ujoints as well. i had never done gears before this and although it was tedious it was suprisingly simple. i had help from a former dodge dealer technician though.

You have to put some of those awesome fake bullet holes on your truck. It says, I have a nice truck, even in a tough neighborhood.
