Hey guys! So the modding bug bit me several years ago with a 2008 Mustang GT that was black on black. I loved that car, and if you would have asked me on the day I bought it, I would have told you that it was completely badass on its own with no need to ever change it (yeah right ). Less than a month later I started making expensive changes, including tires/wheels, adding a supercharger, changing the exhaust, changing the front fascia, etc. Just when I got it where I wanted it, another member that had followed the car's progress offered to buy it for a very good price...so, I sold my baby I have never fully recovered from this.

After taking a deliberate break from modding vehicles, I moved on to a 2012 Jeep Wrangler 4door. What a fun vehicle! This was perfect for my family and we had a blast with it. I often wish we still had it. Just like the Mustang, I said that I would be satisfied with it stock (since you could remove the doors and take the top off, yeah right ). In no time I was lifting and putting tires/wheels on. Changed the bumpers, added auxillary lighting, threw on a winch, etc. I was looking heavily into adding lockers/gears/onboard air/upgraded axles...then a local dealership saw my Jeep at a meet and greet and made me a very good offer...so, I sold my second baby Even though I loved this rig, it never held the same place in my heart that the mustang did. Black badass vehicles just speak to me!

I did all of the work on these vehicles despite a limited knowledge of mechanics. It was a great learning experience, and taught me a lot about myself. This definitely bonds you with the vehicle more, but in the end, money talks. I put a lot of time into finding what I wanted after being fortunate enough to have such a great history of cars. I knew my muscle car days were in the past, but images of my black 'stang breathing fire and burning down neighborhoods haunted me in my sleep. I had to find that feeling again. Enter the RAM!!!
So! Here is my new ride, a 2013 Ram Sport CC 4x4, black on black Sex Panther!! (Banned in 9 countries) Lol, I am going to try to stay mild with this, but lets be honest, I already have a hard-on for it Thanks to this forum, I hope to make good decisions on my future mods. Here is a list of what I have done so far:
Bilsteins 1500 2.8"
Accesscover bed cover/bed rug
Rear coilspring airbags
Fender flares
Husky Liner mats
AFE intake
Removed factory steps/running boards

Let me know what you guys think so far! My current goals for the truck are to add the factory back-up camera per Jeepguy's thread, upgrade the sound system, put some meats on the stock wheels, maybe a body lift?? I could also very easily go full idiot and dive back off into superchargers and such, just to spite my wife haha!
