Calling all custom Express'! Let's see em'...

I have went from 17's to 20's
Black OEM Quad Headlights and upgraded all bulbs
Tinted my tails
added factory backup camera
Upgraded Uconnect 5.0 to 8.4
Upgraded from standard gauge cluster to premium
Added heated seats
Tinted windows
Husky splash guards

Interior looking good nice list! Especially in 2 months haha. I bought my 17 Express in February 17.

So far have done, bed rug, tint, 2.8 bils, 1.5 rear spacer, tailgate assist, blacked out emblems, Green racing drop in with OEM intake mod, Pedal commander (in 2 days), tonneau cover, steering wheel controls, and swapped oil out to Red Line, and am using Chemical guys *** over the top of wolfgang 3.0 sealant

What did the heated seats run? Oem swap or aftermarket?

My next plans are 18's with 35's and 1.5 body lift, 8.4 or aftermarket head swap.

 

[Pull Ya]

Great sealant choice--it will provide you with excellent protection.

Very nice truck. Is it easy to get that gauge cluster installed? Is it pricey?

That's pretty beefy, anything happening in the interior?

Did the 7" EVIC swap, 8.4 with Nav, Kicker door and dash speakers, Kicker underseat 8" subwoofer, Overhead console w/ homelink, Center Console Installed, Single Zone A/C Upgrade, OEM CD player Installed. OEM Remote Start.
Some more stuff, but it's early.....

 

[DRkNESS]

Now see this is exactly what I am referring to, not buying more then what you want/ need with these trucks. Yes you’re spending a ton of money afterwards, but when done correctly you are spending less with finance and more for enjoyment.

Got more pix of the outside of the truck?

 

[MaizeNBlue]

Of course ... some are a little older than others

 

[jshillin]

Very nice truck. Is it easy to get that gauge cluster installed? Is it pricey?

Thanks. It can be expensive. The cluster is plug & play after you send it off to be programmed to match your miles and hours, 10 minute install. It's generally a couple hundred for the cluster used and then $175 to get it programmed.

Interior looking good nice list! Especially in 2 months haha. I bought my 17 Express in February 17.

I went aftermarket for the heated seats because I've done them before and got it from Amazon for like $30...

Thank you DRkNESS. been telling guys that for many yrs. That's why I bought a Tradesman 2500. Got the motor I wanted (6.4), got the gearing I wanted (4.10:1), got my 8' bed, class 5 hitch, got the CrewCab as a bonus 'cause the couldn't find what I wanted WITHOUT it. Got them to put Firestone MT2 mudders on, etc. Since taking delivery in Sept., I added the Westin headache rack, N-Fab steps, LED lighting, Grill guard big ass bar, K&N CAI, Magnaflow cat back dual outlet exh. That was all done with discretionary money, not financed money. (AKA....NO MF Interest). I now have a $50k truck for $42k. PS: Hope you are feeling better a day later

No 1st, 2nd or 3rd? NO Trophy!

 

[RoadRamblerNJ]

Blood, Sweat and Tears, boys. And a few necessary tools. One not so necessary, (in my neighborhood) hehehe.

2014 Express Hemi "R/T" Reg Cab
20" Aluminum Wheels
2008 Dodge Step Bar
Trailer Tow
Spray In Bedliner
6 spd on the column

I found this unloved 2014 still on the lot in late nov, 2015
18 months on their lot!
Had all of 400 miles on it
(Good equipment, backup camera, sticker 30,600)
Perfect truck for me just what I was looking for
Dealer robbed the chrome 20s long ago, I made him put 2016 20" Aluminum
wheels, got the 2008 Dodge step off ebay for $140 as well as the R/T badges
(step is virtually identical to the 2014 one except says "Dodge" on the rubber and doesn't cost $575)

I have had more fun with the RT badges, guys always scratching their head and asking, "Is that a REAL R/T?" Technically it is, Dodge's def is a single cab short box with 20 or 22" wheels and a 5.7 Hemi, only diff is R/T has a Sport package on it, mechanically no different except my 6 spd vs the "knob" (I'm old school and like it better)

Traded in a 2015 base Toyota Tacoma 4 cyl "mistake" (way underpowered, rough riding, no room, whistled thru the cab) dead even for it, they really wanted it gone after 18 months, personally I like the way it's set up, feel no further need to do anything else. My first Ram, won't be my last...I love 'em

All R/T's after 14 have the 8 speed with limited slip and 3.92's,usually unless you ordered an Express they get the 3.21 open diff with the 8 speed.Your's being a 6 speed,i'd lay odds you have the 3.55's with an open diff. Mexico does have what's called an R/T and is a 4X4 but realistically it's a rebadged 4X4 Sport with 20" wheels.

 

[tbird71]

Yeah, I have the 3.55 OD. Hauls pretty good, tho. If I keep it forever it'll probably outlive me. I had no idea about the 13 up ram until I rented one after that had to own one. Finally got the opportunity here
