Summer '13 mods include:

My manifold back exhaust: Dodge ram hemi spec cats, all 304SS with mandrel bends, Borla stinger, new O2 sensors and 5" double wall SS tips. I've been sitting on parts since December, but I have had maintenance and other bills so it has taken a back seat.

Westin Sport tubes

Full Por-15 coating on entire body and chassis.

Some more underhood billet.

5" tips? I'd have to see it to know if I'd like it. I'd almost think it would look out of place on a lowered truck. It'd look like a diesel exhaust tip, lol. WTH is a Hemi-spec cat?

Mistergadet did it on his L. Cats are Magnaflow replacements for hemis. Fit our gvrw better than what most of us currently run. Round body as well

Gotcha. I understood Magnaflow hi-flow cats, just didn't know what "Hemi-spec" referred to.

I agree the rear is a little too high...I would also ditch the tube step's and the mud guard's...tint the front's and PTM the bumper's...some fog's would look great also. Red caliper's match the tail light's only!! Maybe I'm getting old but I'm thinking the less is more thought's on mod's. We still friend's, huh?

Dying to Arnaldo haha, legit killing me.

Don, truck is going into toy mod in a few months when I graduate. Fog bumper in chrome will be added at that point along with the street scene cowl hood and lariat flares. Westin sport tubes are going to be added later this summer. I love the caliper covers and drop will be later on. My goal is paying for school... More important. I'm in way better shape than most people my age in regard to debt. PTM is overplayed
