Well I figured I'd start a new thread since I traded my 13 Express QC up for a 15 Big Horn CC. I will definitely miss my old girl but I love the extra space of the CC and all the extra toys! It's a Brilliant Black 1500 CC with the 4 corner air suspension. I wasn't all that interested in the air suspension but I have to say it rides amazing!!! So far I've only done a few things to it. Tinted the front doors 15% and the full windshield 50%, added a BakFlip Fibermax cover and added factory wheel to wheel running boards. I also have a K&N 63 series intake and a MBRP T409 catback exhaust ordered and should be installed by next week.

Future mods to come include a set of OEM Sport headlights(possibly retro'd with halos and switchbacks), OEM LED tail lights(blacked out), Black Sport wheels, OEM Sport hood, body color grille and front and rear bumpers and possibly AMP power steps. Essentially I want my Big Horn to look like a Sport with the Black package lol. The future mods are probably a ways out but hopefully they'll happen!! Here's a few pics of my old girl and my new one!

Let me start by saying that you have a nice upgrade there. What dodge emblem is that you had in the grill of your old truck? I like that a lot. As far as starting with a painted grill, very good call. I hate the chrome on my truck and want to get rid of it. FINALLY found a painted grill, and I'm actually more content for the time being. Only I'm going white out :)

Figured I'd hate the chrome bars, but they look half decent to me now lol.

Keep updating us on the truck!

Thanks man!! I really like the truck so far. The chrome is annoying but I can deal with it for a little while. I found the paintable OEM Mopar grille on EBay for like $165 shipped and the my body shop is gonna paint it for $50 so I'm gonna order that today probably. The emblem I had in the grill was a OEM emblem from a Dodge Dart. I can't remember the exact seller but it was very similar to this one if not the same.

Had the MBRP T409 catback exhaust and S&B CAI installed. So far very happy with it. Just wish it was a little louder. There is definitely some pretty significant drone contrary to what others state about their truck. Overall I really like it. Just hoping it gets a little louder once it breaks in. Here's a few pics of the exhaust and intake

So I finally got my headlights installed and I also go a new grille and had it painted to match my truck but left the chrome inserts. Hers the finished product!

I like the way it looks but I'm still second guessing myself on the headlights. Not sure if I should have went with the sport lights over the Laramie.
