My truck, and its transformation

[pavester]

Bought the truck after my promotion in feb of 09 bone stock.

I did the basic mods, hid, cutout, and tinted tails.

took about 5-6 months of driving it for some mod tempations to kick in.

Got a fabtech 6" lift, moto metal 18" rims, and 325/65 nitto a/t tires.

Got tired of getting stuck and the mileage i was getting. So I got rid of the lift and wheels. then went back stock suspension with drop shackles. pacesetter longtubes,K&N intake,tb spacer,superchips tuner,08 20s, and re did my exhaust to dual 3" with h pipe and no cats.

about a month or so passed. My buddy with a reg cab had a ram air hood. He didnt like the looks so we traded straight up. and i picked up a full sport bumper +core for 150

Picked up a mcghaugheys 2/4 with nitro drop shocks off dodgetalk for 280. Me and some buddys put it on, and my friend stew welded the perches

the drop interfered with the exhaust and cut that sumbitch off.

merry christmas to me bought my comp 260 and springs/rods

Got that installed and running good on a superchips 91 tune and here I am. The front end on my truck is sitting in the paint booth. Im probably picking them up tomorrow and then its time for a bath and gooooood detail buff wax the works.

Man, I like that hood. Can you post more pictures of it and shoot me a link? Your truck looked good lifted but better dropped. Besides as we know dropped is simply more practical.
Thanks,

Edit: I haven't found that particular hood. Is it a AirRam?

 

[pavester]

i believe its a "goodhood" hood

Wow! That is a hell of a transformation! Looking good sir, keep up the good work! While you are getting the bumper painted, have em paint your grille, maybe the mirrors too? Have you considered debadging it?

 

[pavester]

i meant to put that. the grill and bumper are both at the paint booth now as a matter of fact. ive thought about painting the mirrors but some other things are going to come first. im doing a 3k stall and then i think ill paint the wiper cowl,handles,mirrors. then try and go a little lower.

Now that is a transformation. Morphing up then loooow. That is some time and effort (and $$) put into your truck. Looking good! I cannot wait to see the finished photos ... or current as: are we ever really finished?
