Hi Ram Forum,

Well, I sold the 1997 Dodge Dakota SLT that my father bought off the lot in 97. He sold it to me and it has since taken a turn for the worse funcitonality wise. The wife told me it was time to upgrade. I loved that truck, we had a lot of history.

A month ago, I bought a 2013 Ram quad cab 1500 Sport, black on black, and it's beautiful. Trifold tanneau cover dealer installed, dealer installed heated seats (mine didn't come with that option) and I made sure the dealership took their logo off my tailgate, as I made that a priority when buying the truck. I don't want my new truck to be a rolling advertisement for them.

Anyway, I'll put up some pictures when I get a chance of the Dakota and the Ram so you can see where I was, and where I am now. I already have a list of mods that I want to complete after seeing this forum. I'm happy to be here. Oh, one of my co-workers have already named the truck. I'm a Star Wars fan, and being black on black, it's appropriatly named "Vader".

I look forward to many long years and many postings here on this forum.

Alright, here ya go!

Here's me taking the Ram by the horns... ha ha


The old Dakota... back in it's prime!


The new 2013 Ram QC Sport the day I brought it home




I now have the cover over the back, and have tinted windows. So it has changed a bit.

Alright! That's awesome. I live more towards Millard. Nice to see some local representation.

I'll be here as long as there is info that I need to find out on my Ram.

In only 1 day of being on this forum, I have learned more than I thought I would. For instance, never knew what a catch can was before, never knew how to properly wash a vehicle, never knew how to debadge a vehicle... good lord.

I hope I don't burn out too fast.

It's never ending..thank god

on the move..

Congradulations! I'm happy for you!

I gotta say, once the wedding and honeymoon is over, the funds never seem to find their destination ha ha. Wait until she wants to start buying dishes, cups, and finds out about Ikea, H&M and so on and so forth... I had to start hiding my funds from the wife to keep my collection going ha ha.

Still, that's awesome! Congradulations sir.
