Default Mods to My 2007 Dodge RAM QCSB

I originally wanted my truck to look like this:



The truck belongs to this guy: http://www.cumminsforum.com/forum/member.php?u=6194


But I recently found out I'm having twins, so the appearence mods are taking a back seat.

Here is my truck (a dealer pic):



My Truck has power side steps
Door Closed:



Door Opened:



I may do a 2" level and 35x12.5 on my stock rims, when new tires are needed. Right now I'm only worried about performance needs. I tow a 28' 5th wheel camper, and I want as many MPG during everyday drivin' I can get.

I negotiated towing mirrors in the sale. They threw them in for free, didn't give me any beef about them at all.

I took off the camper shell:



I had the windows tinted ($60):



Here's the whole package thus far:

I have all the parts for a CAI Home brew, but I'm looking to make it Ram Air also, so it'll take more time then just glue and paint.

I am. My wife won't like it, cause you can hear it in the cab. I like it cause it keeps me in touch with what my engine is doing.

It's not loud. It's a deep throaty rumble. I went with the long tube for that reason (but I was just guessing on what it might sound like) and I'm really pleased.

It doesn't cackle. I'm glad, that's the part of a glasspack I don't like, is that RPM drop cackle.

New Additions,

I worked on the beginings of my Home Brew CAI.




Stock air box is still there as a heat sheild. The Air Flow breathes right on the filter.





I will take this farther and produce 100% pvc with ram air.
