Hey everyone! Figured I might show off my truck a little.

I bought my 2006 Ram 1500 Big Horn with the 5.7L in February of 2015. The previous owner had added some nice upgrades to the truck such as Weather Tech floor mats, Skanda seat covers, Volant CAI, OE style locking tailgate, color matched Leer canopy, and Nitto Terragrapplers.

With most of the niceties out of the way, I decided to do some subtle upgrades as my college budget allowed.

So here we go!

Before I did any "real" mods, I removed the GoRhino nerf bars that it came with just to make it a little taller. I also installed PDP mudflaps and replaced the headlights and fog lights with Putco's Mirror White 6K halogens.
Then I added:

1) Two Blue AutoDrive LED light strips to the headlights and wired them to a separate switch.

2) LED Glow taillight bar

3) Spyder LED Taillights

4) Razer Auto LED License plate lights (6k)

5) JDM Allstar LED Reverse lights (6k)

6) DeeZee tailgate dampener

7) MBRP 309 stainless steel dual side exit cat back exhaust

8) Color matched grille with Duplicolor Arctic White C-wrap

9) Replaced factory fog lights with Rigid Industries Duallys

As I said, this is so far. Tow mirrors, level, 35s, new rims, and a few other upgrades are in the works.

Until then,

~Northern Hemi

Note: In the photos displaying the Rigid fogs at night, the first two photos are just the fogs. The third one has my headlights and blue LEDs additionally. Also, there are no street lights: all that light came from my truck at roughly 11:45pm.
