I'm really considering getting myself one of those. Can always just put the JC in later.

They are pretty sweet looking on the truck, Curt. Haha

NIce truck, however I would dump that intake because yo are sucking in all the hot air from the enging compartment. But if you get a functional scoop that may help it out. JMO, welcome :}

If I don't get my scoop before summer 08 i'll definitely change the intake and just go for a k&n

I've been looking into changing my gearing as well, get both front and rear kit at 4.56 rather then stock.

Welcome aboard. I love the wheels. I'll have to take a look at those later when i can afford a set. I've been looking for a set of new wheels and tires.

Yeah I really love the wheel choice on my truck, black chrome definitely fits. From the looks of your truck I would guess some nice 20" chrome (regular chrome) wheels would look great. Also, Dakotastone, I saw these the other day and just remembered them http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/DODGE...QQcmdZViewItem. I think they would look pretty badass on your truck.

thats a nice truck man...say he could really just fab up the intake to where he can make it a cold air intake on either side! now that i think would be hot...but i mean if your gonna get a hood that would throw cold air right into it then i wouldn't worry about it...but the ones i have seen take the air in and throw it on the passengers side where all the other CAI Go...but yeah...the wheels are hot man good choice...did you have to re-calibrate your computer when you put the rims on?
