Hey everyone, my name is Matt and I've been browsing the forum for a week or so now and finally registered. I just bought my dodge ram on december 31st and absolutely love it!! I went from driving a 2002 ford ranger to this 2004 ram 1500 4x4 slt with the 5.7 hemi!!! Its completely stock with 68,000 miles on it and I've been trying to decide where to start on it (as far as mods go). Not sure if I want to add an exhaust or leave it stock so I can keep the quiet ride. Anyways, here's a few pics for you all!!











Here's a pic of my other ride as well (sorry its not a dodge):

 

It really just depends on what you are going to do with it.
The first mods I did to my 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 QC with the Hemi was
JBA ceramic coated headers.
3 inch exhaust all the way, true duals, 2 catalytic converters, with a dual inlet dual outlet flowmaster.
K&N 77 Series intake system.
Bully Dog Performance chip (because the hypertech would not work since I have a Nav unit)
KORE Chase Series suspension with Hybrid Control arms with stock wheels and 35x12.50R17 Toyo Open Country MT's

 

Matt, Welcome to the forum. Nice looking truck, love the flame red color. And sweet 'Stang. There are a few 'stang lovers here too. Mine is below.....DAVID

 

[sm=welcomesign.gif]to da forum! Ya really need to brighten it up some... the red is so bland! Just funnin' If my truck was that color, I could paper my walls with tickets.

 

Welcome man ... the one over there <---- is my third ... you'll love the Ram ...

 

welcome !! I do have to give you a few words of warning. If you dont leave now you will be addicted this place is like good crack !! one post and your hooked !!
again welcome

 

hey man welcome to DF...you got a great lookin truck and just be aware that once you start doing mods you cant stop lol....welcome to DF!!!

 

[sm=welcomesign.gif] to the forum!!! Truck looks great! I take it you are a photographer as well?

 

Love the color. Mine is the same when not brown or grey

 

Thanks guys for the compliments!! I really love the truck and am glad I decided to go with the dodge over the f-150. Do you guys know how much it can SAFELY tow with the 3.92 gears?

Yeah, I know once I start modding this thing I wont be able to stop, thats why I'm scared to start. I have a 2001 Mustang GT (that I posted above) and am completely obsessed with it. I am constantly doing something to make it faster, better, etc. I'm just not sure if I want to head that way with the truck.


Thanks man! I like to consider myself a photographer and have been doing it for a few years. Just recently I bought a website and have been publicly promoting to try and get some extra income on the side. I do it more for my love of cars/trucks more than anything else.
