You're welcome.
This one staying stock or are you modding it?

I am going to do all performance first.. then later this summer (After I get married in June) I will "maybe" to some exterior items.

The reason to do all performance stuff first is.... Because "She" doesn't notice the added performance items :D

That's like asking a fat kid if he is hungry. Of course Kyle is going to mod this truck :driver:

Haha! Couldn't have said it better!

Awesome, it look good and congrats on it red is a good color.

Thank you sir!

It's hard coming up with creative ways to keep her in the dark after 9 years of being together...... She's starting to catch on lol.

I haven't quite reached that point with my better half yet, however it has been almost 2 years and is getting more difficult, especially since she watched the truck from start to finish, now I am asking myself how in the world does one hide a Arrington 426? I am thinking maybe send her off for a couple days to visit a friend or something haven't figured it out yet lol once I do though the car will be much faster :) Maybe we should start a thread "How to be Inconspicuous about mods when the other half...." not that they mind however a lot don't understand and some of us catch grief, I know there are other fellow modders out there that go through the same thing.

HAHA, I agree..

She's not to, too bad... But she comes down on me sometimes with the mighty hammer of Thor about buying stuff for the truck.

YES! I remember when mine was like that, first I was like oh its just a little bit of tint it will keep the glare of the sun off of us and keep the sun out of the baby's eyes, then it was just a can of paint and some time with no headlights to paint them, then a bed cover, which was no big deal, then I am like well now I have to lift it so we can "get around better in the fields" and she was like OK, so far so good, then a catch can (she never noticed that one I don't think), then a CAI (better mileage babe it'll be all good), then she said one day to me "Are you really going to the car show with stock tires and a lift they look kind of small don't you think", I said I agree what rims should WE get?, she says "All black would look nice" I said "PERFECT Hold on!" went to the shed grabbed my matte black wheels I had been hording for probably 4 months, then go inside she says "REALLY! When the **** did you get those". Then I say well lets go get some tires now haha, she says "Whatever", then went and got some tires....and to the show we go then on they way there she sees the invoice for the tires and says to me "I can't believe you paid that for tires", I say I got a deal on them what are you talking about haha, all in all though she isn't that bad she just doesn't get it, so now I try to do stuff to the car when she isn't around, if she doesn't see me working on it she normally doesn't notice....however that is not always as easy as it might sound :lol:

Sorry for the long winded thing in your thread, been wanting to rant about it for a while and it just so happened to come up today

Glad to see I'm not the only one. I keep justifying mods. I initially talked her into getting on board for lifting it, then it become about recouping the performance and MPG through engine mods. Then some lighting for "safety", lol. Think I'm going to have to take a break after the tuner though in a couple months. Think I'll go buy her something nice to set up the next list of mods. :laughing1:

Haha!

I love the sunroof! This is the first Red truck and I think I like it... Not sure if I'll ever buy another red truck but this one has for sure grown on me.

Thanks man, I appreciate it.

Your 2500 looked mean, man, I would have a hard time letting that go. Your new red Ram was my second color choice, it looks awesome!

To be honest.. It hasn't been as hard as I thought it would have been... Not sure if that is a good or bad thing.. All my friends are still heckling me about getting rid of it.. But I really like this 13 sport man... It's making it hard to miss the other truck.

Looks good! That 2500 was one of my favs I have seen on here good looking trade in though.

Thank you man. I appreciate that. It was by far the most work I have put into a truck.. It turned out to be a great truck and I hope it makes someone happy.

Awesome truck, both of them actually.

The one thing that is hard for me about coming on these forums is knowing that I have to wait at least another year and a half before I can get my truck. I WANT IT NOW!
