Default Just bought First Dodge

.wysiwyg { FONT: 10pt verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif; BACKGROUND: #ffffff; COLOR: #000000 } P { MARGIN: 0px } .inlineimg { VERTICAL-ALIGN: middle } Hi guys, I just two days ago bought 2008 Dodge 1500 with a 3.7 and its the lower end....like man windows and locks..etc.
I use to just drive ford and i love the feel of my dodge. Some of the things i am thinking of doing are...


1.)Switch manuale locks to power...(hope this is a simple thing)
2.)Switch windows to power. (think this will pretty time consuming)
3.)Custom exhuast (love the deeper roar)
4.)Change flooring from rubber to a carpet. (this is a maybe)
5.)Change seats to a better quality (also a maybe)
6.) Lift at least 2inch (don't know how much i can get away with before i have to extend wires and drive shaft....would like a 4inch but need input form you guys )


7.)Add oil pressure guage
So what do you guys think? Anything you can help me out on or point me in the right direction?

Man, those windows and locks are gonna be a PITA I bet. Gotta do the acuators for the locks, run all the wires to the switches, install the switches (may have to cutout the door panels for the switches). Same for the windows. Not trying to be discouraging at all, just a lotta work ahead of you. Hope it all goes well for ya, take pics of the processes, keep us up to date. Also, go ahead and post up pics of the new ride! Congrats, and welcome to DF!
