Most Mods?

[incupunk]

Yes I am counting all the accessories mud flaps, truck bed cover etc right anything you added yourself that didn't come with the truck when you bought it. If you bought a truck all tricked out from the dealer than you didn't modify anything because you bought it that way.

I bought an Express because I didn't want to spend $45+ on a truck to get everything I wanted. Instead I got just enough to get started and then have added things from there will probably be into to for only $5 to $6k when done which is far less than I would have paid.

I just added the premium cluster this weekend (love it) and will be installing the premium leather wood trim heated steering wheel soon which I got months ago soon. I probably have less than 10 things I want to add at this point but they are the most expensive ones so it will be a little bit before I get to them all!

As a fellow Express owner, I'd love to actually see a mod list. I had the same idea, got my Express for a steal and then bought mods/addons as I wanted them for far cheaper than a higher trim pkg.

Great to hear! As far a "real" mods go to an Express meaning OEM parts not with that trim leve (versus accessories you an add to any truck) l I would say in this order 1] Fold flat floor (super useful) 2] Dash Cluster 3] Steering Wheel with Audio controls 4] 8.4 Radio for accessories 1] Taligate Assist 2] Flush Mount Bully stake pocket anchors 3] Bed Cover 4] Running Boards (I got Steelcraft SX-600 really like them) I've added a lot more stuff than that but I think it's a good place to start!

I guess its not so much of a mod-but it does modify the appearance and my buds always know its me on the road instead of waving at strangers and realizing it wasn't your buddy,s truck!! Besides I just figured out how to download a pic.. But I wont be filling this site with my 2012-and those pics were from a couple weeks ago-truck is still mint-only 62,000 kilometers. I love the new ones too-especially upper trim interiors--but my 12 still feels like a new truck for me and a much nicer ride than the f-150 I had before it. When the day comes I will splash out for the new 2025 RAM!!!

Just realized I left my plates uncovered - apparently a no-no. That's why I have ins. I guess and a valid FAC. Lol!!

I forgot to mention-if you want to put stripes etc-please do not order any kits or decals from e-bay. Those can and will harm the paint and forget about trying to remove them without using brutal chemicals and stripping tools that would leave you crying. Use what they use on the new vettes-camaros -and probably the sport hoods on Ram.. Its 3M 1080p. I replaced a stripe this year after 3yrs because I wasn't happy with a slight gap dif. Hairdryer on low and came off in one pc. Get it done by an experienced tech. Its not as easy as it may look and prep work is essential. The look is certainly not for everyone-but I have always loved the mopar look. Google rally stripes on dodge ram-that's what gave me the itch!

Hey guys what "trim" level would you call your rig after adding yours mods to it? Since my started out as an Express and I have added mods from three different trim levels I think mine would be an Exhornamie lol!

 

[Gary2]

I did all kinds of mods from more expensive models on my 2014 but all said and done it was still an Express. This time I started with a Sport w/ luxury pkg so I got a pretty good start even if they are not considered mods now.

 

[Lyle Longboat]

I’ll

Is there a thread somewhere with a posting the total number of mods people have done? Not a list of them just a number is all. I just hit 30 in less than 18 months and am wondering where that ranks. Low end? Middle? My guess is maybe in the middle as I imagine some guys are over 50.

Just curious to see how bad my addiction is compared to others. Do I need to slow down or speed up my moding lol!!

Never done bud!
When you think your done and see someone else truck!

We call her "Frankie" because we brought her back from the dead and rebuilt her with parts from ~11 trucks. I want to get some sort of Chrome/Black nameplate made "Frankenstein Edition"

She started out as a base model tradesman looking like PIC1 and now looks like PIC 2
