Default Upcoming mods to my DuhKoyTur [WARNING Big WISH LIST]

Right now, have a stock 06 quad cab 4.7L 4x4, Atlantic Blue Pearl, stock tires and stock height. Stock everything.

Going to be changing the interior seats. Going with 40/40/20 in front, and new back seats. From 2nd gen, unless I can find 3rd gen, but I want the upholstery change to the black charcoal. I know it'll take some work, but I'm committed to this. I want it bad. I have the gray leather, which I will be selling once I get my new seats. Or trade for something. Who knows.

3" body lift from Jack My Ride

True dual header back thrush glass pack exhaust

AVS Rain guards

Tow Hooks

Hipotek throttle body 70mm


Sonnax Line Pressure Booster


SUPERCHIPS® - Flashpaq Tuner


Entry Guards


Folding mirrors, not the mickey mouse ones, possibly the Ram 1500 Towing mirrors

Chrome bed rails


Bed tool box that sits below the bed, so it doesn't hide my nice Dodge sticker

Dodge Splash Guards for the back, I have ones in the front that match the paint. I'll get these painted as well


4x4 Emblem to put on the tailgate


HID kit for both fog and head lights

Thinking of a bed stripe, one of these


Going to repair rust on bumper sides,
then going to POR the frame from rust

Even though I have a bed liner, going to put a bed spray under it, it's moving around in the bed and scraping the paint off to bare medal.

New pioneer stereo

Going to go with disc brakes all around

Third brake light cover, can't decide on Dakota or Dodge, liking Dakota





Plasti dip rims, leave lug nuts and center cap chrome, just like my 01

Get the Dakota emblems on the side of the doors,
Get the Quad Cab emblem to go on the side of the cab in the back, behind back doors


Change the door panels, my driver side has a cut in it and pops when I lean on it
I have these


I want these


Might get a bully bar in the front. A black one, don't want chrome.

I don't want nerf bars at all.

New air intake

throttle body spacers on our engines will give you no performance gain what so ever. Their only use for our trucks is for an NO2 tap or a paper weight.

TB spacers are designed to increase the atomisation of fuel in the manifold before it enters the combustion chamber, this process only works when the engine has throttle body injection or a carburetor.

Our 4.7 engines (I know 2005 and newer, not too sure about older ones) are SFI (sequential fuel injection, meaning each cylinder has it's own fuel injector), therefore, after the install you will essentially gain nothing but an annoying squealing sound between 1500-2500 rpm -.-' (caused by airflow over the airfoils on the spacer)

Throttle body spacers are a complete waste of money. Thats a heck of a wish list. I would stay away from a Hemi bedstripe though...lol...If your just after looks, thats a good list, but if you want to increase performance, I would suggest adding a Superchips tuner, Hipotek throttle body, e-fan and maybe a Sonnax line pressure booster to the top of the list.

See, I didn't know that until yesterday. I had a 1992 GMC Sierra 350 bored out to about 370, had shorty headers and hot rod k&n intake. It had a throttle body spacer and it really hauled ***.

I do want this for looks right now, when I get my new job soon with FORD, I'll be making more than I do at McDonalds right now. Still making payments on this truck. I'm only 20. I want to be able to tire spin, because I can't on this

Yes, like Neil stated, they are good for TBI engines, not SFI. If you want to spin your tires, hope you have LSD, otherwise you'll be doing one wheel wonder burnouts...lol

I believe I do, or posi. Because when I turn and go a little faster than normal, back end hops a lot. I'm gonna guess LSD because that's what everyone on here has, and mine is stock. I don't want one wheel burnouts, I want two wheel.

Mine hops when I do turns and accelerate, and Im a 2wd V6 without LSD haha
Its the Inside tire loosing traction and spins then grips then spins. Im 99% sure I dont have LSD.

I would love to get my hands on those door panels.
Then Entry Guards, Id just Bed liner that area personally. But I have a black truck so you wouldnt notice it. Altho I do like those Sill Guards.
The Mud Guards are EASY to install, Even easier if you want to remove the tire.
Then I hate that 3rd brake light, Its just a Vinyl Decal Cover I believe. I went with a LED 3rd Brake Light. Im pretty sure Gen2 Lights work aswell.

I got this billet one from amazon, think I paid like $29 for it, painted it body color. It came out pretty good.





Rear splash guards I painted body color as well:



Good idea for a bedstripe:
