I parked my truck at the local hang out spot for us bored kids over night and came back with this. Yeah not too happy.



well I decided I'd fix the dent eventually since my body work skills aren't perfect. During the summer I worked at Autozone so I decided to save up and bag the truck little by little. I rode around with no bed for the whole summer.



Well bagging it didn't go as planned and I was starting college in the fall of last year so I had to scramble and put the truck back together. I sold the bag parts I got for a steal ($300) for $200 bucks and bought some RT rims from Gary (MOPARVICK) on the customdakotas(dot)com site. This is how she looks as of now, and I put the custom grille on there too.



Here's a quick before and after of what she looked like before and after the summer. Sorry for the late update!

Before:



After:



Well, I currently have three more things to do to the truck and then'll be finally done. She's just a work mule so she won't be perfect. I'm going to lower her 2 more inches int he front and rear, install a front sway bar, and swap out the slider glass for a solid one. Enjoy!

Not bad,I personally prefer it without all the lights tinted

i saw this on dakrt, love the look of this gen, keep it up, the r/t rims really set these off.

i liked the color when it was just primed

how did you make that grill and where did u get sunken head lights? are they better than the flush headlights in terms of brightness. sorry for all the questions but i just got an extended cab 4x4 from my inlaws and it will be my new work/play toy
