What I have been up to.
 
A few of you know I bought a Hemi pickup to pull my boat around. We'll as usual I have to mod everything I come in contact with. This is by far one of the most fun vehicles I've had. Feels like modding a muscle car.

2" drop shackles
22" wheels & tires
Flow tech exhaust
CIA (which actually adds some hp on a big V8)
Painted the grill and bumper (bumper not in the pic)
SS roll pan and hitch. With flip up license plate.

I'm thinking of doing the Zex nitrous kit. We'll see what happens. This weekend the pin stripe and the badges go away.

Towed the boat yesterday like it wasn't even back there.

When I replace my current pickup I'm getting a single cab short bed too.

That looks nice and clean.

Why the Dodge Ram? Did you look at others?

What would Al Gore say? :D

what would Al gore say
 
He only would get involved and stick his nose into it if the truck would be driven in Canada. He comes up into Canada and tells us how much carbon we generate, but totally forgets his own country. He should stay where he came from and leave us alone.

He tells us we have to clean up the oil production, who are the oil companies
American companies, who needs all the oil, Americans, so tell him to stay home and shut up.

But we don't want him either. Please...consider him a gift from your friends to the South.

I looked at the F150 and it was under powered. Didn't take a look at the chevy's as I never cared for the GM interior. Although I hear the new 6.1 is a killer.

Its was a toss up between the Titan and the Ram. To be honest I was looking at max HP and the ability to mod. These were just about even so i picked the cheaper truck initially.

He owns a the quad cab version. Isn't that his MO, promote green and then own a horribly inefficient house?

Nice truck terry! If it was me though I would be driving a 2008 Chevy Silverado Z-71 with the vortex max. I am in love with that truck.

Truck looks good. I have a hard time spending modding $$ on my trucks. My Dodge Dakota Quad cab was bone stock the entire time I owned it. My FJ, I put some rims on it and rock rails and stopped. Thats it.

But I have to admit that truck looks tough now.

Fritz, my Canadian brother, I'd run him over with Terry's: 2" drop shackles
22" wheels & tires, Flow tech exhaust, CIA (which actually adds some hp on a big V8), Painted the grill and bumper (bumper not in the pic)
SS roll pan and hitch.
if I could justify the carbon he generates.

I can't, and I'd like to make him sure he remains your problem:cool:

Nice ride, Terry.

I bet it handles better than a late '60s muscle car. And stops better too!

When its running low 14's, high 13's from the factory its easy to dump money into speed mods. Not that I drag race but its nice to know you can outrun a new mustang with a truck.
