Default Somewhat new, finally getting a Dodge

Hey guys, I am a mopar guy through and through. I have always owned a mopar since I was 16. First car I bought was my mom's 1996 Sebring JX which I promptly sold and bought a 1999 Jeep Cherokee I started modifying. While owning the Jeep, I owned a 2000 Mustang GT which I sold a couple months later because of tickets and insurance, then later on bought a 90 mustang LX notch 4 cylinder which turned out to be a pile. I rolled the Jeep in 2010 when an old lady cut me off and I swerved to miss her and hit a snow bank. I then bought a 97 Grand Cherokee limited which I bought stock like the Cherokee and it now sits on 4" of lift and 33s. I have always wanted a pick up and since I need one for work, I am selling the Jeep after I fix it up but for now, I am picking this up as soon as I sell off some Jeep parts.

It's a 2001 Quad Cab, 4.7, auto, 145k miles, no rust, minor scratch on driver's door, all stock, just had over $3k put into it, entirely new steering, all fluids flushed and filled, new belt, and comes with $1k worth of spare parts. Interior is like new, paint is flawless minus scratch, interior is mint, it literally runs and drives like brand new!

First thing I want to do is a flowmaster 40 muffler single in, dual out and 2 3" tips on either side of the hitch or possibly 45 degree tips. Then gonna get a hook up and get the door gouge fixed professionaly then making a back rack for it along with 2 4' whips, back up lights, bed line the bed, and fix the fog lights.
Just wanted to swing in and say hi. Hopefully picking it up next week.

Thanks guys just gotta sell some more Jeep parts and get my job promotion and it should all be cherry! Also thinking of taking off the side steps and selling them but I am not 100% sure yet. That is if all goes well with the money issue. I am buying my 1st house soon so I don't want to deplete my savings to get this truck.

Just got back from test driving it again and going back out with my girlfriend to see if she could find anything wrong since she is picky interior wise and she couldn't so I told the guy next monday and he is holding it for me until then! Here's some more pics from tonight

Also, only thing wrong with the truck is the fog lights don't work. I will look into it when I get the truck but is there any common issues with these trucks as to why they wont work?
