Ended up picking up a new truck, so I'll be starting up a new thread to keep track of BOTH my trucks and maybe I'll actually keep up with it lol
So my older truck is a 2006 Ram 1500 sitting at around 220k miles. Started out as a base-model single cab short bed with the absolute powerhouse 3.7L V6, but slowly been adding some nice features. Put well over 100k miles on it since 2016 when I picked it up, and have put nearly the same amount of dollars into it (Not really but I know there's a LOT) I have an old build thread for it here, but I'll line up the gist of things
- Manual to OEM power windows/door locks/mirror conversion
- 2017 seat/jumpseat swap
- New carpet
- Custom RAQ Radio with red LEDs
- Bluetooth audio
- Custom headlights with retrofitted HIDs
- New suspension components all around (Some have been replaced twice, this truck eats suspension components lol)
- New engine at 200k miles
- 2.5" leveling kit with 33" Federal Xplora R/Ts and 20" Gear Off-Road chrome wheels
- Paint-matched grille and sport bumper cover conversion
- Added aftermarket fog lights
- Too many changes in AlfaOBD
- 4.56 gears with a Detroit TruTrac LSD
Probably a lot more I'm forgetting, but it's been a pretty great truck. Still have plenty to do with it
The new rig is a 2016 Ram Rebel with about 78k miles. I've put about 3k miles on it since buying it and I've loved just about every second. Its loaded out with more features than I could ever need and I am enjoying the 5.7L and the 8 speed combo even though that dial shifter is a little weird. I've already got a few mods done to it
- Added UnderCover Flex tonneau cover
- Added some bed lighting strips
- Backseat mod
- Couple of changes in AlfaOBD
Now I have two money pits to split my paychecks between
