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.

Before:

86a4b626.jpg

After:(which will be updated)
47ab83ad.jpg
5d1b5d27.jpg
448e2ba7.jpg

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!

That picture is when the truck was still literally in the dealerships lot. They had some plastic 22" rims on it with small tires. So we traded for the aluminum clad rims with stock tires on the red truck that you can barely see in the picture. Then had those powder coated.

Thanks to both of ya! Still so much more to do.

Thanks. Haha. Simple stockers. That was the plan, to make it as dark as possible.




Update: Just called Inertia, and got the info on what I will be doing for the camshaft. So, in the next couple months I should have my LT headers, camshaft with Big valve cylinder heads, and custom tune finished up.

Don't have any other bills. So, besides the truck and the girlfriend, the only other thing money goes into is a savings.

My girlfriend likes cars, but doesn't like changing them from stock. So she wonders why I like doing all of this.
