    Virginia Tint law loophole?

    I live in Norfolk and had 3% all the way around, until I changed the front windows to 20% so that I can see better. I have only been ticketed for the windows as a secondary charge, meaning I was pulled over for speeding and he gave me a second ticket for the windows.

    Planning a rebuild (over time)

    I like this thread. I also own an 03 4.7 and currently have 123k. I have never had any major issues and the engine runs strong and smooth. I have thought of buying a new truck but realistically there is nothing wrong with mine. I plan to purchase a new engine to replace mine when the time comes...

    Buying 2003 ram 4.7l

    I have an 03 4.7, it's an under powered engine but its rock solid given that it is taken care of. I'm here to help if you need anything, I totally love my truck. The plastic that they used for the dash was cheap, sun damage and improper care is the culprit. You can easily swap it out and put a...

    What did you do to your Gen3 today?

    noticed my headlights flickering sometimes when I drive. Last night I checked wires and bulbs, noticed that the lights sometimes didn't turn off when turned from on to parking. Tapping on the headlight switch would sometimes cause the lights to flicker so... ordered a new switch and cleaned...

    Easy to change the fake wood trim?

    tin foil, yes, definitely tin foil. But seriously, I would look into either hydro-dipping or vinyl-wrapping. Krylon can look good if you use a wide spray tip but its rather permanent. You could also use a coat of plasti-dip then paint over it so theoretically it would peel off at a later date...

    replaced all brake pads to Wagner Thermoquiets, replaced fwd shocks to Monroe HD's. I don't have 21mm sockets so the rear shocks are on hold.

    Looking for some help (lighting)

    Thanks Justin, i'll look into tapping into the dome light, I should be able to remove the rubber from the top of the door jam enough to allow me to run a wire above the headliner down to the floor. Thank you for the idea. Silver, that would be awesome! no rush, but I would really appreciate...

    What did you do to your Gen3 today?

    I upgraded the interior lights (212-2 and 579) to LED. My next project is to figure out some type of lighting for the cup holders/cubby.

    Looking for some help (lighting)

I would like to install some really nice LED's that will illuminate when the doors are opened, but I have no clue how to wire them, so I am asking for help. I know that some of you guys are really good with things like...

    wish all the rain past few days, I noticed an old friend returning... my back seats and carpet are once again wet. Turns out my issue isn't the brake light or window surround, its that damn sliding window. After completely sealing the out/inside like a madman and drying in interior with a fan, I...

    2003 speaker upgrade questions

    Thanks for the advice, I am not running a factory head though. The head that I do have is aftermarket and is a 50x4. So even if my stereo is running 22 watts RMS/50 peak x 4 channels I should still look into buying the smaller amp? I am guessing because that would take the strain directly off...

    2003 speaker upgrade questions

    I am not very smart when it comes to audio, I've always taken my vehicles to a shop and have them talk me into buying a lot of shit I don't really need. I just want to get better sound and have everything fit. Not sure if it matter but I listen to mainly metal and trance music (I know, what a...
