Cool Trucks going back under the knife!

Winters Here again time to pull it all apart and try again heres my build for the winter

-2/4 Bell Tech Drop with Shocks
-Shave Tailgate Handle and Relocate inside gate
-Fiberglass in a roll pan
-install 05 dodge ram ( smooth and sexy ) tail lights
-Redo Sound System including removal of center seat and mkaing a custom fiberglass center console with molded 10" Rockford Subs

Then repaint entire truck including tail lights with a 1 stage dupoint rally black which is still a matte black but a 1 stage.

Cheers.

That's good b/c the whole time I was thinking no wonder dodge/chrysler was in trouble if they are warrantying vehicles w/ aftermarket blowers on them.
