I put them on because I currently live on a dirt road and want to avoid stone chips as much as possible

I like the single stripe, was going to do electric blue but could not find it

 

[Paluby]

I like the electric blue color almost more than the single stripe haha but yours looks top notch with that red and black combo. Very nice.

How do you like the bed liner?

I like the electric blue color almost more than the single stripe haha but yours looks top notch with that red and black combo. Very nice.

at first I wanted to do white and black and keep the wheels chrome, but the red rt badge got in the way and my buddy was saying "dude do red with the black it will look so cool, and the mopar stripe will kill"

finally I gave into it and wow do I like it, it flows with the factory rt badge and my calipers. I wont do any red on the inside of the cab other then the seat covers that say dodge with the red hashes.

on the inside I want to lay a bunch of carbon fiber 3 or 4 d vinyl to give it a vary "race" or dare I say it a vary "high performance sports car" feeling

I would love to get carbon fiber dash parts but their are not many parts made for our trucks and the cost is crazy so vinyl it is. would also love to get full leather seat covers but again I just am not ready to pay the big bucks yet.

How do you like the bed liner?

my dad has a real spray in liner for his truck its as thick as 3 playing cards from a deck of cards, the 1 gallon of the professional I laid is about 2 sheets of paper thick, but I just bought 2 gallons of the 40 dollar regular rustoleum yesterday so I plan on using 2 more gallons over the week.

with all that said I really really like the professional kit with the hardener, some tips: make something to stir the paint with and use a drill to do it, you really want the rubber chips mixed in nice also want to stir the hardener in as well.

next do the sides of the bed then the floor of the bed, and remove your tail gate and do that separate, give it 24 hrs and if you live down south lol let the sun bake that ****.

also use red scotch brite or 200-400 grit sand paper to really scuff your bed, wash it out then wipe with rustoleum wax and tar remover let that dry and use paint rollers to roll it on one big and one like 5" roller to do the hard to reach places.

mine came out nice and its tough as nails, after I do the bed with the other gallon tomorrow ill take pix or maybe ill make a youtube vid

You know someone that's really gotten creative with his interior that you might touch base with is Jason, his handle is Lokal907ryder. Has done some vinyl carbon fiber wrap that looks pretty sharp and your friend was correct that Mopar stripe is dope.

 

[huntergreen]

looks great. i really like the mopar stripe on the rear. red was the color to use.

Scoop vents modded to actually scoop air

What did you do? And also, I believe most scoops like ours will actually draw hot air out, instead of sucking cold air in. Either way its a good thing!

right in the beginning of this vid I show my scoop, I popped out the fake scoops and cut the centers out, then got gutter mesh and jb welded it to the backs, cutting it so the scoop will fit back in, then painted them gloss black, then I cut the hood insulation, so that the air would go inside with out hitting the insulation, I do notice at red lights and such the heat coming out, you can see the mirage. how much cooler is it then factory ? I have no idea

Love the idea.. But what about rain? It is currently hurricaning outside as I type this (which it does just about every day in the summer) which made me think maybe this mod wouldnt work so well for me.

 

[RR7_905RAM]

Looks good man!

 

[mhb1638]

I don't want to be a negative nancy here....but if it were me, I'd lose the nerf bars and center stripe. To me it takes away from the RT style. Otherwise its nice.

 

[Tray Burge]

Excellent start, needs to be lowered and "yes" lose the step bars, I like the stripes though. But, hey it's your truck, so **** what other people say.

 

[dkmesa]

Haha the mod list screams "big spender". Ebay, Krylon, Rustoleum, copy, Walmart, $27. What did such a purdy truck do to deserve such improper treatment?!

I have no issues with rain once I cut back the hood insulation, just move back to pa from holiday,fl and it rained like a ***** down their I know, but no issues
