Evolution of a reddot(ton-O-pics)

So as a new member I wanted to share my truck with those that dont know of it or me. Im about to go pic crazy so deal with it . I know im going to forget a ton of the changes but I will try and add them as I remember along with new modification I do for a one stop shop for all things reddot. I welcome all questions, comments, and inputs.

Base info: 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 QCSB 4x4 48RE auto Brilliant Black Bighorn CUMMINS with about 58k miles on I think.

On it when I got it: chrome nerf bars, spray in bed liner, retrax bed cover and a busted up passenger side tow mirror.





First mods
Depo black LED tails passenger side tow mirror, Mad Electronics Smarty Sr PoD6(catcher #3 for now), and ISPRO Performax gauge system(EGT, trans temp, fuel pressure, rail pressure, boost)





Next was the Rok-Tek grill, ATS intake horn, S&B intake with air grabber scoop, black gas door, bully tailgate handle, and weathertech vent visors.








Next was a Diamond Eye 4in muffler delete(tail pipe did not survive the operation so I ran it dumped after the delete for a while. Also added maroon 359CI hood spears.




Next was XD 17in black rims, N-fab wheel to wheel 4 step bars, fukken wax, rear wheel well liners plasti-dipped bumpers, and ebay 3rd break light.




Next was painted to match grill shell and at some point I did a debadge. I plan to still take off the spear.....I think.

Next was a very fun mod. I got front a rear bumper KIT with grill guard from Road Rhino bumpers. They call it WIY(Weld It Yourself). It came pre bent and pre cut you just have to piece it together, weld it, grind it, coat it and bolt it up. I added some weld on Ballistic Fab skulls for something different.







while the bumpers went off to get powdercoated I installed a Flex-a-lite fan. This is by far the best engineered and thought out mod ive dont. Great great mod.



Then the bumpers came back all black and pretty. I added 3 9in ProComp lights to the grill guard and 4 PIAA 4in lights to the bumpers light pockets later to be upgraded by retrosolutions to 6000k and 3000k HIDs respectively.

rear





More mods done. Window tint 20% sides and 5% across windshield top, painted interior pieces along with 7in flip out pioneer DVD play with painted to match bezel(no pics for some reason), moes stubby black antenna, and red LED interior lights along with weathertech floor liners front and rear. Oh also changed the 3rd to a recon smoked then blended well.









Had the tow mirrors and all 5 handles painted to match.

stupid little video


Then the 37x12.5r17 ProComp Xtreme ATs

Now for the of the more recent mods thanks to our good friend JJ at the Retro Shop. Changed the 06 heads to retro and customized 08 Heads. Some of the changes was color matching and color match tinting the amber reflector LED halos, CCFL with "holy" shroud, shaved turn signal bucket thing, and of course projectors for the 55W 6000k retrosolutions HIDs. (Still working on getting the LED halos to work). Then JJ tinted(Dark level) to match(brilliant black) the DEPO LED black tail lights. I then installed retrosolutions 3000k HID kit into the 4 4in PIAA fog lights, and a Putco LED tailgate bar with running/turn/brake/reverse lights. And as far as I can remember thats how she sits today(she was re fukkened this last weekend).





















Vid of tail lights and bar in operation to show how much light I still get after the DARK tint.

yeah this weekend ill pull out the ol multimeter and try and figure this out. But the crazy part is I might be using the wrong remote. I got one multi function kit and one 4 channel kit but I cant find the 4 channel so maybe I got the remote messed up. Ill still get pics for you tomorrow if I remember. If not you should remind me.

Thank you Sir. Yeah its been a real emotional and physical roller coaster and I loved every minute of it(mostly the bumper build, so much fun welding). Blood, sweat, and tears.
