Hey guys I was lucky enough to get a brand new 2014 ram 1500 double cab express black edition with the 5.7 hemi. I was wondering what you guys thought would be some good upgrads to start with? This truck will see it's fair share of dirt to get to some secret fishing spots :naughty:

I'd get better tires, that's about it.

Maybe the lid for the upper glove box, hate those open spots on the express trim.

What he said! Also, I'd replace the dome lite bulb with an LED panel (36 or 48). The interior is woefully under-lit from the factory.

You can replace the fog light bulbs with 9005's for a bit more light. As you continue to mod, you'll probably want to upgrade the headlight bulbs or investigate HIDs.

These are just a couple quick suggestions. As you continue to read posts here, you'll find more than enough mods to satisfy your needs and probably drive your "better half" nuts.

Good luck and congrats!

You definitely need tint and an exhaust. You aren't truly blacked out until the windows are the same. And you can't have an all black truck without a little attitude in the form of exhaust.

Wait a minute.....I still need tint:slap:

Crew cab or quad cab?

Weathertechs, tint and tires all sound great. Bed cover and bed liner are also up there.

Limited slip aka anti spin rear axle would be a great option as well specially to get to those fishing spots.

Hey I saw you guys suggest a level kit...my ? And concern is what size level...? And concern is I put a 2.5in level on my 09 Ram and now when I turn the wheel somewhat sharp either way I hear a pop in the front so what's that....maybe a 2.5in is too much...what y'all think

Rear window graphics like the one I have on my '14 RAM. Got more than 500 to choose from at Sportsmansguide.com

Upgrade sound system. Weather tech like others said and cold air intake/ exhaust swap. And a ton of other upgrades.

Agree about the exhaust. I got 2013 black ram w/ Flowmaster Outlaw system (ImageUploadedByTapatalk1420042333.890596.jpgsuper 10). It sound like a beast
