So, after a good 10 months of just reading, I decided that I should at least show off what my lurking has inspired...

On 2/25/15 I picked up my truck, it was a left over 2014 that I got a killer deal on.

The next day I just had to be sure that it could do truck-like activities

FA9A9232-AC26-46BD-B29F-57029D6C9EB0.jpg

Then came the first round of convenience mods, Nerf Bars, Rhinoliner, Bakflip G2 & Bakbox, Mopar Vent Visors.

Somewhere along the way the door badging forcefully fell off

Then came HIDs and LED Cube Fogs with ICI brackets

I made the mistake (great decision) of going to the 4 Wheel Parts Truck and Jeep fest, came home with an MBRP catback and K&N intake (the filter is huge!)

Then about 6 months of truck stuff

Then, it was Lift:30. I just couldn't stop myself from borrowing my friends powdercoating supplies and throwing a little color on the parts... It was either the green, purple, or ford blue... I went lesser of the three evils.

0FEDD522-99C6-46FB-9FB7-AE496707EDAD_1.jpg

And of course the first night that it was lifted it went to the Daytona International Speedway for a NASCAR race.

To come:
-New Bedcover & Tool Box
-Sport Grille
-Wheels & Tires (Once the factory ones need replaced)
-Find someone to cut different bedside vinyl, so its 'Hemi Express' not 'Hemi Sport'

My new tonneau cover showed up today at 730, so I couldn't resist throwing it on.

I went with the truexdo titanium. I wanted a rollup cover, that was aluminum, that wouldn't block the rear window completely. Plus getting it for 760 new when it lists for 850 and getting a hundred dollar mail in rebate with it. That's how it won over the paragon and revolver x2.

I put it on in about 30 min, by myself, in typical male form.

First I took the instructions

28F18B4C-3D40-438D-AAC6-47CBE645AB27.jpg

And threw them away

I then attached the rails (with the supplied clamps) and slid the cover over the side

And then rolled it out after sliding the locks closed

All in all, I'm happy with it right now. But its been 2 hours

I actually just ordered the rear black badge, I think the front looks fine because there is just enough chrome in the front. If I wind up getting the black projectors then I'll be going with a black badge in the grille...

Thanks. It's just enough that it's not obnoxious and because it's in the suspension it's not obvious. It was one of those things that (I think at least) shows that extra step in attention to detail.

Would you be willing to sell your old honeycomb grill? I'm looking to make the opposite swap on my sport.
