The first time I saw my truck was on cars.com while deployed to Afghanistan. Needless to say, I was in love. It took quite a bit of work, but I made sure that it was sitting in my driveway when I got off the plane a month later. And I've been modding ever since.... and plan to keep going

But enough about me, let’s get to the pics and mod list

Here's a few pictures of my truck bone stock. It wouldn't stay that way for long.

MODS

1) Flowmaster 50 Series HD dual exhaust.

IMG_0176_zpsa8932837.jpg

2) Duplicolor Shadow painted emblems and side badges (would end up debadging the sides).

3) LED foot well and bed rail lighting with activator switches in the cab. It's hard to take a picture of the footwell lights without them looking blue, but they're a cool white in person.

4) Window tint all the way around.

IMG_1241_zpsc7195b8b.jpg

5) Replaced stock white bulbs with cool white LEDs (reverse, license plate, cargo light, interior dome light, interior map lights). But with my crappy camera, it's hard to get a picture of these so you're just going to have to trust me.

6) Bilstein 5100 front and rear shocks. Front shocks set to 2.8" (I don't have the 'death wobble').

7) Custom painted engine cover and cold air intake cover.

IMG_1715_zpsa5a6742f.jpg

8) Traded 17" OEM wheels and tires that come on the TRX4 for the stock 20" wheels and tires for the Sport. I got them brand new from my local dealership for $600. Not too shabby. You guys might not like them, but I love them. Plus they will look great with 35s.

9) Replaced headlights, fogs, and tails with tinted lights. The headlights also have the black housing that I wanted.

IMG_1836_zps26318cbe.jpg

10) I covered my emblems with plastidip black and the glossifier. The duplicolor shadow had started to chip.

11) I got tired of the plastidip not quite matching my paint, so I bought some mopar color match paint and did my emblems the right way.

I've thought about that. How much did you have into it all together?

Cost me about 350 total. That includes 2 cameras, lockpick, extra video cable, extra wire for power and ground, and 30' of that black flexible wire wrap.

I could definitely use the backup one. Can't see anything around the bed of my truck. It's got a big ass, lol.

It's definitely worth it! I've got a short garage, and only have about 4 inches of extra room so I was always getting in and out of the truck to see if I was in all the way. Well last night I was able to back it in and got within an inch of the back wall.

Just purchased a BullyDog tuner and pillar pod today! Should have that installed in the next week or so.

On a side note, my wife is going to kill me when she finds out how much money I've spent on my truck while she's gone!

Sweet truck..... Gives me a ton of ideas. Did the tuner make a big difference? Worth the cost?

Done a few more small mods here recently.

Black decals to keep the clean look.... on a not so clean truck.

Added some 55w 6K HIDs. Canbus system and completely plug and play. Pretty cool.
