Seems like there's a lot of these happening lately, but I like the idea, especially since multiple mods are about to happen to my truck in a short period of time, I figured I'd do all updates in here instead of starting multiple threads throughout the forums.
Truck: 2008 QC Dodge Ram 1500 Lonestar
Theme: Blacked Out or Murdered Out
Engine: 5.7L HEMI
Thanks Jim!

So since I will be keeping this truck as long as I possibly can, which includes when it comes time to update, here is my list for when the truck becomes retired as a DD.
Engine swap to a built 6.4L HEMI.
Transmision swap (built to handle the engine)
New paint job.
Extensive wire management.
All plastics in the truck wrapped in leather
This is just a temporary list that I can think of at the moment. Keep in mind, this will be years from now. This truck will be a DD until it can't be afforded or it falls apart for the time being.
Because I have so many pictures of the before after and everything in between, for just this post I am going to post just before and after pictures. The after picture will continuously be updated as more mods happen to my truck, and I get better pictures.

After:(which will be updated)
The mods I have listed in this thread are just the ones I can think of doing at the moment, if you have any suggestions on any mod leave a post below and I'll add it to the list if I like it, or forgot about it. Thanks for looking!
