What is everyone doing with their 05 ST's

[05redSTQC]

I feel like I'm te only one that bought an ST. What are you other ST owners doing with you trucks.

[Drakkon]

I got an ST...upgraded the airbox, added a toneau cover, added a hood deflector, upgraded the radio to the MP3 player model, got a security system so the door locks are powered now.
installing a hitch reciever
upgrading the speakers soon as i have a good day to do an install
possibly taking out the rear jumpseats and replacing with a subwoofer box
only option i wish i would've gotten was power windows :wah:

I got a ST. So far I've added Stainless Nerf Bars, Under the rail bedliner, Black Lo-Pro Tool Box, Leather Steering Wheel cover, chrome Bama emblem, & a chrome Bama tag frame. I have a chrome air dam on the way. Next mod will hopefully be some chrome wheels.

What type of security system did you add? How much did it cost? I really have no need for the alarm, but I wouldn't mind having keyless entry along with power locks.

just woundering what engines do you guys have? as for the power windows look online or ebay for power window kits, i have non-power windows on my 04 sxt dak and over the summer i want to convert my windows to power.

I have a 3.7 4 speed automatic

In reguard to the security issue I got a SENTRY system, not sure what all it entailed but it cost $300 installed, insures car against theft, shock sensor, and door actuators.

I have the 4.7L V8 automatic in mine

EDIT: Ohkay that comment on ebay conversion kits for power windows tempted me too much, found a kit and purchased :P yet another project to go on the stack :banana2:

Found an HID kit for our trucks...

Was wondering if you could like me to the power window conversion kit? I cannot find one for the dakota.

Thanks I will check that out. Does anyone know if dodge offers a kit or will add power windows? Honestly I bought the base mod cause at the time I bought it I was out of work and trying to keep my bills down but now I hate not having power windows and I am considering getting rid of the truck just because of that. I would rather not have a mickey mouse job done on the power windows and that eBay link, I dont know ... does not look like a very long lasting product. Any ideas?

[Drakkon]

check your local junkyards / pull and save...you can take the doors off a totaled truck or just the motors/assembly...if you look at the service manual posted can see how it all works out, the wiring is definately the worst part.

[1hot2005]

I was thinking about that ... I might even go with this kit you found on ebay but go get some factory door panels from a junk yard so it looks like factory.

Mines an SLT. I am going to debadge the back this weekend, I think. Then you won't know what it is at all!! :mullet:

Have you gotten your power window kit installed yet? Decent quality? Seem Durable?

I have a 2005 ST CC the picture and mods are listed in my signature. I have chrome side moldings, chrome door handles, stainless nerf bars, window visors that I'm puting on in the spring when it warms up around here and I'm going to paint the front and rear bumpers to match my truck, plus I got the chrome strip for the front bumper.
