Congrats! I'll bet it was the license plate that put it over the top. :D

Seriously, lots of good mods on your Ram. I'll probably move to a Vararam at some point.

So here's my truck that I bought used 3 years ago for $15,000 (with the painted Leer tonneau)

2010 Dodge Ram 1500 CC 4x4 Sport Plus
(made 1st half of 2010 in Warren...title & reg. say 'Dodge pickup')
98k when purchased (now 125k)
5.7 Hemi, 5-spd console-shift auto, 3:55 open rear gears
Sunroof, heated/cooled leather 6-way seats, heated strg. wheel
PDM Mineral Gray Metallic, 20x9 chrome wheels

What I've done so far (largely due to this forum!)

ENGINE
Mopar spark plugs
UAC a/c compressor
AC Delco idler pulley/tensioner with Gates HD serpentine belt
AC Delco upper & lower rad. hoses, Mopar coolant, Stant 190° t-stat
Diehard Platinum 94R AGM battery
PIAA Super Bass dual horns
3GCustomz steel engine covers (I painted Hemi orange)
Vararam intake w/LED strip lighting
UPR billet catch can w/Russell stainless hoses

MECHANICAL
Pedal Commander (set on Sport+ on 2)
Superchips F5 Flashpaq tuner set to 93 octane tune, MDS disabled, RPM & speed adjusted
Callahan drilled/slotted brake rotors (actually shipped from Powerstop!)
Wagner OEX brake pads

2/2 drop done with the following:
Bilstein 187350 rear shocks w/272920 rear 2" drop coils
Mevotech UCAs, Moog LCAs, Moog outer tie rods & sway bar links
Detroit Axle strut assemblies with Belltech 4769 2" drop coils installed

Hellwig rear sway bar w/ Moog links
Freedom Offroad adjustable panhard bar
Dorman upper & lower rear control arms
new Valvoline rear gear oil w/ Spectre chrome cover & Lubelocker gasket
Totalflow muffler-delete kit (left resonators on)
5" stainless exhaust tips
Pirelli Scorpion 275/55R20 AT OWL tires (3 peak snow rated)

BODY/LIGHTING
Bedrug bed & tailgate liners
under-rail LED bed strip lights
DeeZee tailgate assist
Boscam K7 wireless backup camera
'Hemi' side stripes
AVS VentVisors added when I removed the pillar vinyls
21" black spiral steel antenna
Mopar rear mud flaps
Mopar mirror puddle/signal lights
Bosswell LED tailgate emblem
Spyder C-tube LED taillights
Amerilite black dual headlights w/DRL tubes (wired to M47 'on w/key' fuse)
ALLA switchback white/yellow LED fog bulbs
yellow LED 7" bars & 4" pods mounted behind the grille

INTERIOR
Remfit African Zebrawood dash/interior trim kit
Hurst shifter kit
cabin air filter mod
RAM seat covers & floor mats
Pilot aluminum pedal covers
blue LED accent lighting
dash-mounted switches for grille lights & Vararam lights
3M carbon fiber vinyl overlay on all silver dash pieces (anthracite gray)

I think that's it. As I said, it's my daily driver so getting stuff done sometimes means sitting for hours while it's getting worked on if it's stuff I can't or won't do myself.
Future work will be fender flares (honestly because they're cheaper than body/paint for the bit of right rearwell rust) and new side stripes in metallic silver to better match the tailgate MOPAR decal.

Thanks again for all the congrats, and to the Mods for running a cool forum!
