Truck 95% Done

[derekhonda]

Well, I have owned this dodge for almost 2 years, and put damn near 10,000 miles on it (I know, not a ton, ohwell) Anyways, Here is what she looked like back in Novermber of 2002.

Pretty nice 1996 Dodge Ram 1500 4X4....eh?


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyways, after getting stuck one day i decided it was time for a lift and Tires, and some window tinting....So a 3" skyjacker suspension lift and some 33" Pro-Comp X-Terrains were ordered...

Anyone else see what I saw? RUST :mad:

[batgeek]

don't ya just hate AngelFire?

[derekhonda]

The pictures are working for me :confused:

---------------------------------------------------------

Anyways, my old grey stock carpet had some back stains on it and just didnt really look all that great, and the legs on my bench seats were all rusted away so that was my initial plan, get new carpet, paint those legs.....turned into a bigger project.

When i pulled the carpet up, about 40% of my cab floor was rusted over...Not good. So i broke out the diegrinder, got some sanding bits on it and went to town. Took me a whole day to get the floor bare, then I painted the whole thing with POR 15 (Rust Stopping Paint) That night...It rained, and I am so glad it did, The next morning I had 6 Puddles on my freshly Painted truck floor. I hate 6 leaks in the stripping around the windows :mad: :mad: But a tube of siliconed and about an hours time patched up those problems.

After that, I used an off brand name Sound Deadener to help reduce outside noise. Best $150 i spent.

Then, I decided well Might as well get all new Audio. Got a set of Infinity 6x9 3 ways, and 5.25 2 ways. Also Got a new JVC Head unit and hooked my sub and amp up the right way pushing all 600 watts through my 10 (and it handles it nicely)

[batgeek]

thats prolly because you are the owner of the pics. they set no limits on the owner to look at their own stuff.

cut and paste out of properties worked though.

[derekhonda]

[K_Banger125]

nice looking truck man ;)

[SHOCKER]

what kind of suspension or body lift do you got, i think its a suspension lift right? what is it 3" lift, looks great
:blah:

[TheFontMaster]

You shoulda got a 6 inch lift. lol j/k man the truck looks great.

[brian-250]

nice do........., nice truck.:D






now when do i get ot drive it?:o

[400exrules]

omg nice truck! your truck is like my dream truck.

if u dont mind me askin, wut did u pay for the truck, and how much were the mods?

[derekhonda]

Yep, I went with a 3" suspension lift. I didnt want to go wit a 6" and 35's because i go down town alot and wont fit in the parking garages then (or my own garage)

Dad bought the truck for me, we paid $9400 2 years ago. Since then I think I have put almost $4000 in it out of my pocket.

And Brian, you can drive it when your penis is long enough to touch your butt hole...

LMFAO

omg dude, i think i just pissed myself :eek2:

[bulkdriverlp]

finally got the pics right!!!!!!!:grr: little advise, next time ya post pics hit the "preview reply" first this way you can see it yourself first to make sure it worked.

nice truck by the way, dodges are nice as long as you dont put a snow plow on em. if ya do the steering goes out and front end wont align. like the billet gas cap, real cool.
