My name is GoFishn & I'm a Mod Addict.

[gofishn]

I hate this site. Really, I do.
Before this site, I would buy a truck, add some steps and flaps, then call it good and drive it for 15 years or so.

Then, I run into this site & like LSD, it opened my mind.
(NOTE the negative allegory there?)

Saw a post about a guy who bought an S&B intake.
I remembered I wanted an S&B intake, they look so cool!
Started looking at them, again.
Had one , in my cart, even.


Then, "Sanity" kicked in.


Yep. Sanity walked over, looked at my monitor and goes,
"Didn't you just spend $600 on that pick-up?"
"Thought, you said, you needed tires?"

OH My God, I have an Addiction.

I decided to start a list of all my "Must have Mods"

I do, I do have an Addiction.

Research Addictions and seems the first step is to acknowledgment.
Then Proclaiming it.

Hi, My name is sbarron and I too am a mod addict.

It all started so innocently with a spray in bed liner. Soon realized that the bedliner was really hard on the knees so I needed something to gently protect my soon-to-be geriatric joints...

• Bed Rug

Holy ****, my bed rug is getting wet...

• Truxedo Lo-Pro Tonneau

Speaking of getting old, I can't really hear the engine, this thing is kinda hard to get in and out of... and my night vision isn't quite what it used to be...

• Magna flow cat-back dual exhaust
• RBP side steps
• Rigid Aux lighting

I also know they are voodoo, but damn, i LOVE that throaty sound...

• K&N Intake

Now I can't see in the bed with the tonneau attached, I'm tired of the tailgate slamming down, and those puddle lights are kinda weak..

• Truxedo bed lighting
• Dee-Zee tailgate assist
• Rigid approach lighting

and while I'm here, I might as well add the...

• Flush mount Aux Reverse Lights

DAMMIT!!! I JUST DRUG MY STEPS ON SOMETHING FOR THE LAST TIME!!!!...

• AMP Power Steps

"Hmmm, those tail lights would look pretty good on my truck and match the Outdoorsman two-tone" - Thanks for fueling the addiction xboxjunkie.

• -Spyder tail lights

At least I have managed my addiction to this point and have been able to avoid the Bilsteins, (which always seem to lead to a lift - which obviously leads to new wheels and tires).

*As I tap a vein shopping for the Bilsteins...*

I am also plotting against myself with a more advanced, much more powerful lighting system. Ugh.

Hi, My name is WSUTard and I too am a mod addict. Well, not really a mod addict, more of I dislike 2wd lifted trucks.

(That qualifies right?...No, ohh.)

 

[MADDOG]

I stopped fighting the addiction years ago and just went with it.

 

[SitKneelBend]

I no longer refer to my truck as an Express. It's a Ramforum Special Edition (or additions depending on how you look at it)!!!

I think it would be a good idea for the health of these members above for Maddog to help break this addiction that ravages so many bank accounts and causes stress on their better-halves. To break this evil cycle of modding they all need a vacation from the forum in the form of a 3 month ban from this evil place of Ram modding worship.

No? Alright, carry on......

 

[Beauregard7765]

Being young and broke usually helps prevent me from buying mods... but right now I vut back on entertainment and food money to finally get this damn lift kit on that I have been wanting to do for 3 years

I can start with you if you like. Then you can report back to us in 3 months on how that worked for ya.

luckily you'll find a large support group here!!

 

[bgray]

funny what people consider modifications lol

 

[SportyJames]

My name is SportyJames and I am experimenting with gateway MODS. These MODS will lead to a more serious MOD addiction.

HIDS Highs, Lows, Fogs
AMP Steps
Bilsteins 5100 and BFGs.
Hood Vent Lights.
No Exhaust on this truck (WIFE SAID NO)

Sometimes when I do a MOD, I wake up the next morning and cannot remember where I am.

 

[sbarron]

Looking at your signature, funny what some people consider a RAM. Or a truck.

 

[atc06jh]

I have an addiction as well. You can see the signature for the list. And I want a few more things....

Tuner, Exhaust, GPS/DVD Player, Map Lights (yes, I bought the Tradesman/Express cause I work for the government and don't get paid crap), Wheels and Tires.

That should make me happy for a while as that seems to be all I lack. BUTTTTTT...I have a wedding, honeymoon, and need to find a house by October so all my mods have been put on hold as the fiancé wants to ring my neck already!

That is all. Carry on.

 

[Drummin4jc]

I too will admit my addiction. Before this site, there were a few small things I wanted to do that I felt were necessary... Side steps, tonneau cover... Stuff like that. THEN comes RF. I'm just really glad there are so many great members on here who are willing to help out with questions. I seriously love this site! And the addiction I now have to modding my truck. You only live once, and you can't take money with you after this life is over, so why not?!

Not sure what you mean by that. A modification is anything that is done to the vehicle that was not there from the factory.

He is confused.....

Play nice and, someday, you WILL have friends !

 

[wsutard1]

Defining MODS is a tricky issue. I think we can all agree that a Tonneau cover or Topper is not a "MOD" but a 2wd with a 10" lift sitting on 37s is a "MOD".

Also debatable is which one of those examples was actually worth doing.

 

[arod412]

First vehicle I added mods and did my own work on...so I'm guilty as charge.

My truck as a name, and she like it when I crawl underneath her and start touching things.


**Truck name: Rampage**

As long as she doesn't start leaking when you touch her.
