Hello everyone. I just got a new dodge ram laramie 5.7l Hemi RWD. We were looking for a new vehicle after the turbo blew on my VW GTI and we needed a vehicle that could tow the GTI when needed or my Ford Galaxie. Also we are looking into getting a boat one day. Just a bit about me and my family. I am a staff sergeant in the army stationed at FT Gordon GA. I am married and have 2 kids. Chayenne-Sophia who just turned 3 and at the age of 2 was diagnosed with stage 4 high risk Neuroblastoma cancer. Last wednesday she underwent a 7 hour surgery to remove the 18cm tumor in her stomach. As of right now she is doing great. Her little brother Jeffrey-Joseph just turned 1 in October. He is such a big boy. Both kids have duel citizenship. America and German. My wife is German. Well enough about me. Here are a few pics of all my vehicles

First and second mod completed. Replace the dash speakers with kicker 41dsc354 3 1/2. I modified the center to fit the 3 1/2 speaker. Second was floor mats.

Well here are my new tails. Got a few more parts I am going to be getting in the next few weeks. uploadfromtaptalk1432596912497.jpg



I need to get a transmission filter and gasket, differential gasket and fluid paint, a brake controller, tow mirrors and a trailer. This will all happen in the next 2 weeks.

Any suggestions on a brake controller? Nothing to expensive and nothing that can diagnose the truck. Lol

Well it has been a ****** up year. Started off with my daughter going in for her 11 the surgery and it was not a success because of all the scar tissue from radiation. So her other tumor was not removed and just about 1 month later on February 20th 2016 she passed away. **** man she was only 4 years old. How could something so fragile fight so long and hard to just loose the fight to this ****** up disease. Well rest in piece my baby girl I will always love you and will always miss you.


End rant.
