LMAO, I though about a Sharadon 6.4L Swap at one point in time. What stopped me was my pals in our SOVA Truck Club who drove Hemi Rams. I knew if I went that route they would say "Yeah, its only because you went to a Hemi" lol. It has been alot of fun modding the 4.7L, I just wish it wasn't so expensive.

Thanks Blown, it's coming along alright. Yours is a lot closer to where I want mine to be but I can't afford to get it there fast enough.

Biker and tdister, how are you guys weatherproofing the 12v outlet in the bed? Seems like a good idea but if I did it it would have to be exposed to the elements since I don't have a cover (yet) or a toolbox.

This is a cheap, stupid little mod that I really like. Don't know if it was posted about before.

Changed out the amber turn signal to chrome bulbs that light up amber.

I also have my LED lights in the box off the same switch. so much easier to see what your doing in the dark, (the cargo lamp just dosn't cut it)

I replaced all the bulbs on the truck with LED's. (some requiring resisters to make this work)

I bought a RAM Laptop mount for my truck, this mounts to the front passanger seat bolts and is easily removable and adjustable. (great for work)

My truck didn't come with power locks, so I had this added, (no more trying to find the key hole in the dark)

other than that everything else is mostly the norm, Aftermarket stereo system and speakers, Handsfree, Sirius Sat, Brush Guard, Driving lights, side steps, hood deflector, Extang Revolution Tonneau cover, bugrug mat, Penda box liner, Rear moulded mud flaps, Hid Fogs, etc.
how did u convert to power locks? ive wanted to do that for some time
and post up a pick of that laptop mount
ive also wanted to run an outlet to my toolbox


dodgetrucker those are some awesome floor mats
