    breg's old gal

    This is my old gal. She's 10 now, but she only has 95,700 miles on her. I just wanted to post a before picture since she's going to be getting a face lift and an altitude adjustment soon! Oh and ignore my neighbors house and car in the background.

    Why is my interior 2 tone?

    Is there any reason why the interior or my truck is 2 tone? The upper half of the truck is taupe?? and the rest is slate grey. The pillars and headliner, etc are this strange color and everything below is grey. I've always hated this. Anyone know where I can get replacement parts in grey to match?

    Painting plastic parts

    I'm looking to freshen up the plastic parts on my 05 1500. Things like the front mini spoiler, bumper pads, door handles, etc. So how would I go about prepping these? And should I paint or plastidip? I'm also going to repaint my wiper arms. But since they are metal that should be pretty...

    I saw a hemi with a 6 speed behind it today.

    I saw a Jeep today that had a hemi swapped in with a Getrag 238 behind it. He's had it for 3 years. I didn't think the 6 speed would hold up to a Hemi. Especially spinning 35" tires. And yes he wheels it pretty hard. So what gives here?

    Fixed my tilt today so a heads up.

    My tilt stopped working a while back so I figured the cable had broken. I took the covers off today and did a little poking around. Turns out the cable was fine but there is a small plastic tab that had broken and let everything come loose. I didn't think to take pics so I will try to describe...

    my wife thinks I'm nuts but..

    So my wife thinks I'm nuts because I'm thinking about selling my '05 1500 to buy myself a first gen. I can't help it though, I just love the looks of the first gen trucks! At one time I had an 86 Ramcharger that I loved, but sadly it was destroyed during a hurricane when a tree decided to lay...

    electrical questions after engine swap.

    Ok so I have a question. When I swap my 3.7 out to a dumb carburetor engine I will not need the engine computer. But my question is will I end up having to rewire the truck for my lights to work? I'm not concerned about gauges as I have a master plan for that with a little custom dash work. But...

    Headlights

    One thing I've noticed since new on my truck is that the headlights suck to put it mildly. These things need to be brighter! What headlights have you folks switched to for more/brighter light? It's for a 2005 st btw.

    Seen in Grand Forks,ND

    I'm here in Grand Forks,ND doing a 34 hour reset. I saw a newer Ram getting fuel. He had a very nice looking set of Recaro racing seats in it. Don't know how comfy they would be but they looked awesome. I didn't want to weird the guy out by snatching out my phone and taking pics. Everyone thinks...

    engine swap, is it me or..

    So whenever the v6 blows in my truck I'm going to drop a new motor in it. Is it just me or does it just seem easier to everyone to drop a hot small block chevy and th350 trans in it? No computers, no wiring harness. Just put in a painless wiring block and hook my lights up, weld in a set of...

    mcgaughy 4/6 ride quality

    So my questions to you folks with the 4/6 drop from mcgaughy is how roughs the ride and does it do that stupid steady bounce going down the road. I don't mind a little rougher ride as I don't drive the truck every day, but I refuse to drive a vehicle that bounces steadily on every little bump...
