I tried installing my billet grill but i have the wrong hardware kit :( But I did get the black honeycomb installed after taking the factory chrome off. Did get the Billet bumper grill in though. Also got a Bentley steel mesh installed on my 300C too.

Sanded the headlights on my dad's truck.
Definitely look a bit better, pictures don't really do them justice.











Exposure backed down a bit on this one

Finally warmed up enough (-4C) that I could at least give it a quick rinse off to get rid of the salt and dirt that was all over it.

Looks much better now.

Hi. New to this forum. Been driving Gen 1 and Gen 2 Dodge trucks for a lot of years when helping a friend with his business.

So, what did I do this weekend? I bought an '06 ST Quad cab of my own...:drink_nl:

You need to get light polish and put that on. It REALLY cleans up the lights after sanding.

I used Plastx on them. Next day, upon viewing in the day light, I realized I could have gone harder with the paper, especially on the driver's headlight.

Oh well.

Topped off the coolant, checked the oil. Opened the oil fill cap, SLUDGE! *********.

Pulled the baffle...MORE SLUDGE. ****.
Cleaned all that out of the fill tube, put seafoam in it. Dad needs to get the oil changed anyway.
Damn cold weather.

We'll I just picked up my truck from the dealership after spending 700 bucks on a new throttle body and computer update. It also has a new cam position sensor. The throttle body was because of a tsb that the previous owner failed to have fixed. But it's running awesome. So I'm happy.

Helped my friend put on new rear rotors and pads and new front pads today. It was on his 2008 1500 that he just got. Rear passenger pads were toasted, metal on metal.

While bored at work this weekend I took some more puzzle pieces out of my dad's dash and glued them together.

Annd all done:


Does it look like ****? Do I care? Does he care? Nope, because it cuts down on the rattle. :D
