Any cool mods or ideas, throw them up, what have you done to your truck this summer?

Trying to figure out something to do on the ram, its been a while since I had a project to do on her. She just had the new transmission put in, shifts like butter. I was thinking maybe a train horn would be nice to have lately.

I've already done audio, leather seats, suspension work, I installed new inner and outer tie rods recently, and put on new sway bar bushings up front as they were dry rotting after only two years!

Maybe some LED interior lights to giver your truck some more personality?

I'm working on trying to find a way to put my iPad in my dash in front of my head unit and connect it to charge and control the audio system, because why not? Maybe you could find a way to do something like that that is not very common?

If you have the LEDs then maybe you could go to a wrecking yard or somewhere similar and get the seats out of an '09 or newer RAM and put those in yours. I've seen it done a few times, very minor modifications and it looks very good finished. Also, what does your truck look like on the outside? Maybe seeing it could spark some more ideas.
