Glad to see I'm not the only one who got an RT with a lift kit.... lol


Them 5.9s is heavvvvyyyyyy

 

[Misfit]

Haha, it wasn't a real R/T

 

[94dakV8]

RT or not, yellow is a very rare color. I've seen more yellow RTs than non.

Here's one for ya...... a yellow 4door 4x4 stays in the neighborhood down the street from mine. Wonder if its got a 5.9? Super duper rare...... but still ain't worthe shit. Hahaha

my R/T had the 4X4 lift to it as well, I thought it was just something queer the previous owner did because he had a tow hitch on it....

curiouser and curiouser

Didn't realize I didn't have pics of either of my RCs in here either.

Okay new to the RC world but absolutely love the short cab. I didn't get a RC originally because back in 2000 when I was looking at buying a new truck I was too big of a person to fit! 11 years later I fit, LOL!

Anyway, on to the photos:

Unfortunately no. I bought the truck as is for the most part. The only things I can take credit for are the grille, tinted windows, tail lights, and very shortly Mopar performance posi unit with 3.92 gears out of a 99 Reg Cab R/T.

I have a few more exterior mods to do and those are, powder coat and install the street scene bumper cover grille inserts, install a Dodge grille emblem when it arrives, finish the black stripes in front with gloss black vinyl decal, and I am tinkering with the thought of swapping the bumper off my 03 for the roll pan off my 2000. Not entirely sure if that will happen. I need to see if I can put the tow hitch onto my 2000 before I do anything. I don't really ever tow anything so I might just dump it all together.

There's 1 thing that I do plan on doing in the interior is getting a floor mounted console and paint it similar to the current partial floor console.

I was going through some older posts that I commented in and this one caught my attention. Everything I said above dealing with upgrades I actually did. In fact I completed that list by summer of 2012.

It's rare that I put out a list of mods that I'd like to do then actually complete that list! I also did the black stripes but not in vinyl, it's actual paint on the grill and roll pan. I got a floor mounted console for $65 with a broken lid latch, I ordered a new part for the lid for $15 shipped off ebay. Cleaned it up and thought well hey since I'm waiting I'll mask it off and paint something on it and the results came out awesome!

I figured hey not many people show their truck then follow up with an update post a year or so later. I also did a different set of tail lights and recently added chrome center caps off the newer dakota/durango wheels.

This photo show's the truck after all the mods I talked about minus the chrome center caps.


A shot of the rear.


And the most recent change.


And a shot of the finished interior.


I'd like to get a set of 20" or 22" wheels and lower the truck about 2" front and rear. Also would like to finish the black stripes on the front bumper cover. I was hoping to get to that this spring/summer but currently trying to buy a house so any big projects are put on the back burner until I get settled into the new place.

So here I am again. Last June I mentioned that I'd like to get a set of 20/22" wheels. Well, I did! 20" American Racing Piranha chrome wheels. I plan on doing the 2/3 drop this winter. I just picked up a like new set of tires tonight for $100.

Anyway, the updated photo for this thread:
