Who has done the most mods to their trucks?

[Ramrod]

Going thru the attic tonight I found I have really started to accumulate as many Dodge Ram parts as I have Porsche parts. Lots of spare parts. So I ask, How many mods have you done to your trucks?

I myself have added in order:a aftermarket front bumper with Billet aluminum inserts in both bumper and grill, a tonneau cover, a Linex,Bike rack,Catz Fog lamps,Firestone airbags,330/700 ft lb plate,Delivery Valves,370B injectors, a 16cm turbo housing, gov. spring kit,BD brake,BD 4'exhaust,Auto Meter Ultra lights Boost-Pyro-and Brake gauges on a triple pillar mount, B&M shifter,Catch all Mats,Mag Hyde diff. ,NorthWest Custom Fear This mudflaps,K&N filter,South Bend Feramic Clutch,Horton Fan,Alarm, Eclipse head unit w/ JL seperates,SoundStream coaxials and a JL seat sub enclosure,

Thats about 25 mods. I don't want to think about how much it all costs. I just know its fun to drive and it sounds great going down the street.

So lets see who's the most BOMBED. Maybe will give them a award or something. Maybe a gift certificate to Genos. Or maybe just some of my spare parts.

------------------
RED 98 3500 12v 4x4 Quad Cab SLT Larimie, 4"BD exhaust and brake, triple mount AutoMeter Ultra Lights, govenor spring kit, delivery valves, 370 B injectors, 332-700 camplate, 16 cm2, new carter lift pump,Mag-Hytec diff,Horton Fan Clutch, NorthWest Fear This mudflaps,custom dynamic timed pump by AWD,Linex,Tonneau cover w/ bike rack over the bed,Billet grill and bumpers inserts, Eclipse w/center seat sub enclosure and remote alarm.

For what it's worth, my pile of parts is pretty tall, not to mention the graveyard of turbine exhaust housings from when I did the R&D on the different size housings. I've gotta be up there somewhere.

My vote goes to John Treibel ("John" on this board). His black 98. 5 sport is tricked out to the maxxxx,and he's still got more to go.

Here's a pic of his sweet rig...

My vote also goes to John... from bumper to bumper, he has tricked it out. And when something better comes along, he changes it again. Of course, this also works well for us, cause he "buys high and sells low"!

Gary has a lot of stuff on his Ram, but is not nearly the amount John has installed and already removed. And yes, we did a lot on his truck... maybe he ought to join the TDR about now!!!

 

[MikeR]

Gary who? I've worked on that truck so much,I can spot it in a stadium parking lot from a helicopter. But,I wouldn't know who Gary was if he was standing right next to me! #ad

..... Just saw this thread. Thanks for the kind comments guys. #ad


One thing that has been forgotten though, two, count 'em, two, NW BOMBers own National show winners... Dave Perea and Andy Perreault. These two own the best of the best. Both have extremely nice rigs with more modifications than you can imagine. One thing though, if you look at Dave's engine compartment on a sunny day make sure you are wearing sunglasses or your eyes will be instantly NUKED! #ad

You can't believe the amount of chrome and custom fabricated and polished stainless steel that lies beneath that hood (made by Dave's talented wife Diana). Awesome work! #ad

[Andy Perreault]

John, that's a great picture of your truck on the DTT cover!
Rob, as I was waiting for that pic of John's truck to scroll down (with my slow modem), I was wondering if I'd see a mailbox dragging behind the truck. #ad

(Sorry John!)

I'm not so sure I want to remember what I've done and what I've redone or had to redo--but thanks Brandon for pointing out my inability to cut the umbilical cord to my RAM-but to be even be mentioned with you guys is nice-I think #ad
