Default My SRT8

My "SRT8" (04 5.7 Hemi Laramie edition) is approaching completion, and to the point of rolling it out of the shop and let'n it rip around town. I have good things to share about the installation of my components, and some nightmare stories. If you are thinking of adding anything that I have listed, please let me know, I'll be glad to share my thoughts and experiences.

Some might say all show, no go.. but it's plenty fast for me. Also it's 2WD, so I didn't have a hard time dropping it. Why not the SRT10 from the get go? Lets see.. insurance, 8mpg vs 18, etc etc. If I could have, I would have, but I enjoy making one-off's more than buying a stock everyones-got-one truck. Just me.

Check it out, let me know what you think.

That's a really nice looking truck. I like the drop and the body kits and all that, also, lets see some pictures of the interior. I do have 2 bones to pick though. The ram heads on the doors i'm not too fond of and the SRT8 badging. Now you did some amazing work I must say but not SRT8 worthy. If you swapped a 6.1 in there or even a GOOD amount of 6.1 parts the badging would be in order, however without those things the badging just doesn't belong. None the less, amazing truck.

As stated in your text regarding asking questions; I would like additional information on your nice-lookingSRT - 10 clone wheels. Are they 22 x 10? Are they one-piece forged? Load capacity? Manufacturer? Cost / part of a wheel & tire package? Any additional specifications you will share with us?

Thank you,
toxdoc

Technically, the Hemi motor is what makes it a SRT-8.....although they use the 6.1 and not the 5.7.I think he's trying to make his Ram into a Ram version SRT-8.
