dealer gave me 30g trade in on this...

'12 crew cab express 4x4 hemi blah blah blah

1st mod...this should be standard on all models if you ask me..
photo4-2.jpg

all trucks that do work need a bedliner, had it reflex sprayed
photo1.jpg

hated that honeycomb grille so it was swapped out with a sport grille insert
photo5.jpg

the stock tires didn't cut the mustard so they had to go...and needed some more height. bilsteins set at 2.8" and rear 1.75" RC spacers. tires are federal mt's 35x12.50's along with 1/4" wheel spacers

got some more plans for it as soon as i decide on what lift. not sure if i want to do a 4" and reuse the stockers or go up 6", same tires, and 20x12 moto 962's in black and do a black/grey theme. wanting a new crew cummins next year so i'm leaning towards the 4" and stockers.

thanks guys! i can't still believe i bought a dodge but so far glad i did.

the overhead install is pretty simple, needs 5 wires hooked up, and have to cut a big hole in the headliner. i snagged this one out of a rolled '12 dually and got all the pieces--retainer, the console, the plugs, the led, for fifty bucks.

I'm Dodge through and through... But I gotta say, that Chevy is goooooood lookin'! I actually quite like the looks of the new chevys, especially lifted and blacked out, but I could never make the switch! Your new truck is even nicer and aside from my "Sunburst Orange", the mineral gray (right?) is definitely my other favorite color!! Nice looking truck!! :)

i did like my chevy, here is my '11 gmc, kinda liked the look of this one better but the room sucked
photo-4.jpg

i do miss some of the options my chevy had, not having bluetooth sucks and remote start. remote start is going in next week along with the door repaint/box side that is under warranty. going to do a pioneer dvd soon, then i can have my bluetooth back, use my thumb drive, and get a back up cam. i have a disease. already looking at '13 diesels..but thinking on waiting til i can get the cummins/ally combo
