Its a rarity that the beater gets a wash, so I figured I would take a couple pictures while it was clean. I call it the Blue Deuce because its blue and a piece of @!#$. I bought it almost a year ago because my truck is so terrible on gas. I paid $900 for it and it has since paid for itself at least twice. Being the car nut that I am, i couldn't keep it stock for long. I scored some H@R springs at picknpull... Due to a pricing snafu I got the springs, a strut bar, and some body molding for $29. I matched them to some Skunk2 shocks. I put a cluster in from a car that came with a tach as well. Other than that its been mostly maintenance. Best $900 i've spent.








Here you can see how well everything lines up on the front end [/sarcasm] :
















Just picked up a steering wheel from the junkyard yesterday for 10 bucks... I replaced this wheel:












with this one:












And here's a few of the truck that gets 11 MPG:














Love the truck for when its time for this:

Well got to give u some credit those wheels are def clean!For a older ride is pretty tight.Yeah the front end a lil out oh wack.heck with the aftermarket so solid for honda u could fix that pretty cheap.Unless it needs body work,being the cost of said beater.Looks good exterior wise.Now get that interior shoe shined! dirty floor mats and stuff laying around u slacker.

Thanks! I like the wheels too, they are pretty popular with the honda crowd, BMW ''bottlecaps.'' I found those for $80 and cleaned them up. I've never cleaned the inside of this car... Prly wouldnt hurt to run a vacuum through i t lol.

I put a Hell Bent Steel leveling kit on it:





and some Mastercraft Courser CT's. They're 285/75 R16. Wheels are steel, they're by US Wheel I believe. They're a Craiger D window copy. Nerf bars are from "back country," they were on the truck when i bought it. Tinted the windows, tinted the tails/3rd brake light. Moroso Spiral flow muffler. I also changed the stock air box/intake for an old school 14x3: (Please excuse the dirty ass engine)

My 5.9 magnum is just as dirty in my 95 dak sport so harm done man...it's a truck it should be dirty

I bet thats a fun truck. I've always liked the 5.9 dakotas. I read your profile, love the mods you've done. Any pics?

Here's a LINK TO MY BUILD THREAD I haven't updated it in a while...but I'm going to after this...nothing exciting has happened.

I still vote black projectors for the Ram...... hahaha. (since you ignored my previous post saying this. ;P)

I wish you luck in quickly diagnosing that electrical problem, sometimes those electrical gremlins can be a bitch!

lol, sorry for ignoring your post... I think an OEM style black housing headlight could look good... It can be tough to find headlights for an 01 sport because of the quad headlamps.
