Newbie to the forum

Hey all, just bought an '03 Ram QC with a Hemi. Been wanting a big truck since I got my license back at 16, and finally made that come true 10 years later. I'm not a newbie to the forum environment, just to this specific forum. I'm on another for my motorcycle (1997 Yamaha Vmax) as well.

I attached a few pics of the truck. It definitely needs a bit of TLC, but has great potential. Needs new headlights, new door switch bezels, dome light housing, dash (although I'm going to get a new cap from WELCOME TO OUR CUSTOM AUTO ACCESSORY STORE rather than replace the whole dash), and front bumper. Interior is near mint though, plus it came with a Pioneer H/U, Clarion door speakers, and 10" sub all pushed by 2 amps. It's only a 2WD but I truly have no need for 4WD.

What is the best place in your opinion to buy small OEM parts and accessories for Rams? I've seen quite a few sites that sell stuff but I like to do purchasing based on recommendations

next time you need something, check out Wholesale Mopar. I have priced out a few things lately, and they are DAMN good on prices! I need to see if I can get them on to sponsor us here. :********:

Thanks guys, glad to be here. Thanks for the links to accessory sites also. I've already checked out DodgeParts.com but haven't checked out that Mopar site yet.
As far as what parts I'm looking for.....the list is endless and growing daily! That damn mod monkey won't get off my back.

Immediate needs are the taupe switch bezels for both front driver and passenger doors as well as the overhead dome light housing. All these tabs are busted off and everything moves all over the place.

Needs that will come as the wife gives me permission to spend money....more lift, cutouts in the exhaust (I would rather just delete the exhaust but I won't pass emissions) because I like the sound of straight pipes on this truck, new window tint ( current tint is scratched and bubbled, really ugly looking), rhino-lining the bed, new headlights, grille, fog lights.....as you can tell, the list goes on and on.


I'm pretty psyched about this truck, if you couldn't tell. I got one HELL of a deal on it too. Salvage title, was stolen and recovered AFTER the insurance company already paid off the loan so the title automatically went salvage and was sold at an auction. With only 79,000 miles.....let's just say I paid WELL under $10k for the truck.

How the hell do I join the Black Truck Club? I just tried and couldn't figure it out! I do DEFINITELY agree that once you go black, you never go back! It's the best color for trucks! (as long as you keep 'em clean)
