Im 24, and the first time I have owned a Dodge. Was a chevy guy before this and I tracked an s2000. So this is a big change, but I love the truck.
If I modify something on the truck that I paid for, and I like it, then I dont care if you like it OP, but maybe someone else will. The forums are great and allow ANYONE to share.

I'm 23. Seems I'm the youngest of this bunch. I'm all stock but that is simply because I'm waiting until I move back to the mainland (I'm in Hawaii) before I do anything to the truck.
I think it's asinine to think that only young people chop up their vehicles. Who do you think a lot of these young guys learned from? They learned from the old gear heads that have been doing this **** since they got there first car or truck. My dad is 56 later this month, not a gear head and he does some mods to his truck. An old work buddy, 50 this year, likes to do some mods to his trucks as well. I know I've seen a crap ton of guys here in Hawaii in there 30 and 40s that do some pretty major mods to their trucks. Thats just the thing to do around here.
I love my Dodge as a stock truck but there is no doubt that when someone comes along and does something fantastic with theirs, I get jealous. Sometimes the mods aren't to my liking, but like a few guys on here already said, "To each their own." The only mods I really don't like are rice burners because they're stupid loud and sound like ****. When I had my CJ7 with a 304 I had dual flowmasters (actual duals with 2 headers, not the stupid split pipes) on her, and it was ridiculously loud. Then with the CJ5, also with a 304, I took it down a notch and found the perfect exhaust sound for me. I'm 23 and already I don't want another vehicle as loud as my CJ7. I don't like feeling like an ******* every time I have to start my vehicle early in the morning. That's just me though.
