Hey Yall,

Just bought my first Dodge Ram today. Its actually my first truck. Ive always wanted a truck and am finally at that point in my life to afford a nicer 1/2 ton.

Found a 2010 Ram 1500 for sale at a local dealership... Went to get a cashiers check for the truck and came back to find they were selling it to someone else. Needless to say I was furious. The sales manager however made things right. He gave me a steal of a deal on a similar 2010 with less miles. I only know it was a steal because my father is a car dealer in MO and was able to look up the truck on the Manheim website and tell me what it went for at the auction. I got the truck for $100 over what they had in it.

I get to go pick it up today and look forward to having it for awhile.

No doubt ill have question, but ill make sure to search before I ask.

Hey fellas!

Thanks for the welcome. Im going to pick up the truck today, so ill have lots of pictures to come.

Its the ST trim package. I play rugby and having the vinyl seats and rubber floor was a must when hauling 4 guys to and from games and practices; easy clean up.

The PO put some SoCal style Eagle Alloy wheels on the truck that stick out 6 inches, so those will be the first to go. Im searching CL for factory 20's to give it a more stock look.

Its 2WD (4WD was just out of my budget, but I dont haul much and im in Central Texas, so im not dealing with snow.) The truck is brand new, the PO took really good care of it, so cosmetically it is pristine.

Plan is to level it, replace the wheels, raptor line the bed, tint the front windows, and possibly paint the bumpers white to match the truck. I like the white and black color scheme on the Rams, so possibly even black wheels.

No remote entry on this truck, but I know there are options out there to add that, so any suggestions on a good kit would be helpful.
