I had a 2010 Dodge Ram 1500 ST yesterday... bought it about a year ago when I got back from Afghanistan. Nothing special, but it was my first truck (used to drive SUVs). Bought it with 47k on it, at 52k the coolant pump blew (of course at 2 am in the middle of nowhere AZ, 'cause why not). At 54k the 4x4 Diff went and had to get that replaced. Thursday the driver's side door actuator went out at 65k. So I went to the dealership and went full potato. She no longer sits in my driveway, instead I bought a 2010 Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie... a bit of an upgrade. Crazy beautiful truck! Super happy!

Now that I have the perfect truck.... what do I modify first...

If I were you, my first "mod" would be to slap a USMC sticker on it.

I would be careful about window tint... San Clemente Cops love to snag you for that when you go up to see the Barber.

Congrats on the new truck and Welcome!

Post some pics of it when you can.

Congrats sounds like a nice ride! My first mod was a toolbox I was tired of stuff rolling around in the back seat ( I have almost always had a truck) But window tint isn't a bad one either!

There she is! Its the dealer picture for now... she needs a good clay bar treatment before I take pictures. Talked to the tint guy today, should have the tint on the front windows (20% to match) by the end of the week!

Two tone paint schemes look great on these trucks. Congrats, she's a beauty.
