Hey guys, its been awhile. I had some log in issues and with vacations and plain life, it took me forever to get back on here! So now I am back, until the middle of April, then I may disappear a little, only because the wife and I will be welcoming little boy #2! I have other exciting/sad news all in one, too. The Dakota is no longer with me... With the back seat of the extended cab and a bigger kid car seat and soon to be and infant car seat, the truck wasn't working. So in its place is this! A 2014 Ram I am sorry that I left you guys, but I promise I'll still check in!

Congratulations on the new boy and truck.

Did you sell the DAK outright or trade it?


I can see about 5 things you need for that immediately !

Thank you

I ended up trading in. They gave me 14k for it. Started at 10k, bumped to 12k, and then scored another 2k for it with my hesitation. The final results were 21k off the sticker for this beast!

What are you thinking I need?

Congrats (X2), with another son, the upgrade make perfect sense.

Looks awesome.

Only the strong can get a ram and still keep the dakota. Lol jk. Nice looking truck and congrats.

5 things....hmmm....ok, I'll bite....

1) Bedstripe (good for 25 horses)
2) Leveling kit
3) Wwas going to say vent visors, but the smoke color would ruin those beautiful lines....
4) Tuner (you cant "see" that, not sure if it counts)
5) Tonneau cover??

Damn, that thing is so sexy just as she sits.....I can't think of anything else....besides bigger tires maybe, down the road. Gawd, I get a raging woody just looking at her....

What you need: Justification to your wife:

Running boards (for the kids to climb in with of course hehe)


Tint the front wndows (so the sun doesn't damage your kids' eyes)


Bed cover....or even better...TOPPER ! (room for kids camping and fishing gear teehee)



I see no SAT radio ant anywhere (kids need to stay informed while on fishing trips you know)



Trailer Hitch (to pull the kids' jet skies to and from the lake)

my turn...


1. Lower it....so kids can get in easier
2. Tonneau....to keep their stuff safe
3. Tint..... to protect their eyes and skin
4. Entertainment system...... to keep them occupied on long trips
5. Stripes.... like he said, good for 25 hp. LOL

Thanks guys!

LOL I know you are in love. You could always sell that that red sleigh and the chevy.. I am sure one like this would do everything both of those do for you now You should have came up a week later

1. - I am not sure on bed stripe yet.

2. - But I like the raked look.

3.- I did order in channel vent visors already. I think they'll be fine.

4. - I am researching... lol

5.- I am researching

Running Boards are a must and waiting for a purchase... she can barely get in it. She is short, very short.

Tint is happening too, it was a birthday gift from her.

I am trying to pick out a tonneau.

It has SAT radio at least for a year, I may extend it. It's loaded on the entertainment side with the 8.4AN radio and Uconnect and all the goodies/appsthat brought along. It has USB and SD card readers and all. Plus the wife has a portable dvd system in her car taht can easily be swapped over.

Its has the hitch, built in trailer brake controller and some other options built into the computer for different trailers as well as shift patterns for the 8spd trans. Its pretty cool.

I like your guys thinking though!
