Default Newbie once again...(PICS)

Been AWOL from the forum for awhile, but thought I'd stop back in...I've changed a lot on the big white beast since last posting (my truck is the white ram with the Bull Bar on it in the TruckXpressions banner over on the right), so here's updated photos...





New exhaust...went from dual flowmaster 40's to a single-in single-out Magnaflow setup...not as loud, but it's still there when you stand on it. On a scale of 1 to 10, interior resonance and drone went from 10 to 4.


New dash kit...went with a simple brushed aluminum kit from Husky. It's just a couple of pieces, so I don't think it looks cluttered.


New tires...went with Nitto Terra Grappler ATs in 305/55R20. Couldn't be happier with them! (Unless they were 37-inchers under a lift! lol) They ride great...very smooth.




New fender flares...went from Bushwacker Street Flares to Bushwacker Pocket Style Flares. I think they look mean.



New headlights...went from stock lights to clear headlights from x3 Racing. Got them from a group buy on another forum. I added PIAA Xtreme White signal bulbs to match my headlight and foglight bulbs.


Well, that's all for now.

I like the new fender flares, old or new! I think the Dodge's look too plain without the flares. When I bought me Dakota Quad 4x4, I told my wife I had to find one with flares or they look like crap, and they do. Her sister bought a 4x4 sport with no flares and it is nasty!

that is one of the nicest trucks i have seen. How did the tires fit are they really tight, did you get a lift i cant tell? Also if you dont mind me asking how did those side steps cost, i realy like those!

saloman -

I haven't lifted the truck yet. There is possibly a 4.5" Superlift IFS kit in the works, but we'll see. The tires fit fine, no rubbing, virtually the same overall diameter as stock 275/60R20 rubber on 4x4s. The difference is in the width and the aggressive tread. I love them....no regrets at all. They ride smooth and look tough, so I'm happy. They hold their own off the pavement, but I don't do too much of that yet. (Maybe when she's a little older.)

The side step bars are Westin Signature Series CPS (Chrome Plated Stainless). In my humble opinion, chrome plated stainless, though the most expensive of stepbars generally, is the ONLY way to go. You have the corrosion resistance of stainless steel with the shine characteristics of chrome...the best of both worlds. Many less expensive bars are polished stainless steel...and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that...they still have the corrosion resistency, but they don't shine quite like chrome.

Call Justin @ TruckXpressions (board sponsor) and tell him that Brian Q told you to call and that you are from Dodge Forum. He'll hook you up with the best price he can. 866-444-7711

Thanks for everyone's compliments.
