This page is arranged chronologically!
1986 Dodge Ram D50 Sport. My first truck. I have a feeling it was previously owned by a Cocker Spaniel, because the amount of dog hair in the carpet is astonishing...
Has a new stainless steel exhaust and Flo Pro muffler. I also have an Eclipse deck with PG 500W amp, PG 12" Sub and two PG 5 1/4"s; pounds pretty good! I also have a capacitor mounted on the sub box and it looks like a little time bomb; so cool.
The day I picked her up, crappy cap and all!
Rough beginnings. Changing spark plugs and wires in April. Nice mudflaps...
2.6L i4
New wheels and tires to replace the old shitty ones! 16 inchers instead of original 14"s, with 205/45R16 Fuzion ZRi tires.
Wheels and tires finally mounted. The center holes have been machined larger, so these are custom mags!
The Time Bomb
My buddy Del tinting the windows with his mad skills.
Re-assembly with new carpet.
Awesome Eclipse head unit. I'm very impressed with it!
Decided not to put the old emblem back on the new grille. I mean, it says "Dodge" in massive letters on the windshield anyways, plus the smooth grille looks cleaner. Oh, and the tint on all three windows is 2.5%
The body has been stripped down by my sister's boyfriend. Soon it'll be on the streets again and sooo smooth!
December 2005. Halfway to new paint.
August 2006. Almost done!
Had it painted PR4 Flame Red to match my '06 Ram. Awesome bodywork by The Flame Zone, Salmon Arm, B.C. I had a vision and wrote down a big list of things for them to do. She now has: custom tailgate skin w/platebox, custom rollpan w/dual 10" LED tail lights, tail light skins, door handles and tailgate handle shaved, all trim shaved, antenna shaved, cargo light shaved, tailgate welded shut, ALL body seams filled, and a spray-in bedliner the same colour as the paint.
I picked up some leather-ish buckets out of some type of Saturn, since the original ones were shot.
First seat installed. What an improvement!
So I'm hoping to lower it and get some 18" wheels from a Nissan Titan. If all goes well, one day it should look something like this...
July '09. Fitment test of the Nissan Titan 18" wheels that I got for it. With some slight machining, they fit like a glove!
Those 18s should look nice once I get this guy off the jack stands, but not before all new brakes!
October 2009
Custom machined (94mm diameter by 10mm deep) 18" aluminum wheels by TSW from a Nissan Titan, wrapped in 225/35ZR18 Hankook Ventus Sport K104 tires!
I took off the chrome Nissan emblem and filled the recess with body filler, then sanded it smooth for primer and paint!
Here it is, getting very close to completion. I had just taken it off the jack stands, so it's facing up a slight hill. Later this week I'll take some more well-composed pictures, but this is a good sneak peek!
