24" wheels, rubber band tires and about a 18" lift. Just for the speed bumps at the mall. Take the fornt drive shaft out as well.

Honestly, stock bumper, or at least take the grill gaurd off your current bumper. the small mirrors, 3rd gen wheels, maybe a tool box that doesnt stick above the bed rails. lose the chrome bottom. narrower tires as well. but I like the look and would leave it. Just to look that much more different then every other city truck.

I'd leave it. I grew up in the city (Chgo - South Side) & moved to the country (60 acres of woods & hills). Screw the city. Be what you are. Hopefully your location won't last forever.

Wanna sell the bumper & tires?

i am thinking of building a new bumper this summer for it. maybe same base design, but no grille guard or a hole new design. i have thought about taking off the nerf bars but i use them to get into the toolbox, but i jump over them to get in and out of the cab. thought about taking them off though and just buying or building a single step instead of the one that i have now. (i guess it would be 3 steps, but not connected to eachother and less visible.)
i realize there is only so much redneck you can take out of a truck, and i knew i would get some ridicule for wanting a more city look. but thank you all for your help and input

Hey now I live in the sticks out here. Got to drive 25 miles to get to the piggly wiggly. An hour and a half if I wana see a movie or go to Walmart. I have a CB whip thats taller than 6ft. I use my cb in the hunting season and occasionally when I see a buddy anand were in a bad spot. No cell phone service. I dont ssee why a city boy would want one unless he talks to truckers. 10 4?

maybe straight up city is not what i want... just want it to look more powerful, meaner, cleaner and sexier. i want people to see it and say "Damn!!" instead of..."oh, its another loud dodge"

You shouldnt care what others think of you. You are what you are, and be damn proud of who you are. Don't change ur truck looks great the way it is, if some has a problem with u or your truck there not ur friend. City or country it would fit right in down in utah rether it the big city or out skirts. Im that guy that has big a$$ mud flaps cb antenna (thats hooked up) and yes its another loud dodge with mud tires and damn proud

Why change anything? Truck looks good, not in to the lifted big tire look myself, but your truck looks nice just the same. The only change might be slightly smaller tires down the road for fuel economy down the road.

Nothing against CB antennas when there is a radio hooked to them. A lot of city kids around here like to slap some big ol antennas on, then don't even have a clue as to what end of a CB you would talk into, much less even own a CB.

It's a truck. Yours looks the way it should. I don't think you should change it just because you're in the city.

Nice truck Man.
Put a PRIUS logo on the front and back, add a back sticker showing each family member and pets. Make sure to wear your large Tiffany& Co. sunglasses.

I wouldn't change a thing to that truck. Here in Texas that truck fits in perfect with the Lexuss, Mercedes and BMWs in downtown Houston, Austin, Etc.


Whatever you do she will look nice.. just don't turn her into a slammed street truck
