Looking for a touch screen radio for my 04 i really want to stay away from a flip out but i know that they make some good ones that dont fit? any one have any suggestions or know of a good one?

What you want is a double din. Kenwood and Alpine were the best ones I've used. But your gonna have to modify your center

by modify your center you mean a little jerry rigging or do they make differnt brackets for that particular set up ?

By Jerry rigging. My Buddie has called every fox in the country looking for the center piece but they all told him they stopped making them...if you find one let me know cus I have a double din I want installed

I just installed a Pioneer AVH-P4400BH in my 04. I don't have any complaints about this radio. The screen and button colors are also customizable so it will match the stock lighting color scheme fairly well. It looks pretty good in the dash too. As far as installing it, it is not very hard just a little time consuming. It took me about 6-8 hours or so of total work, but there was a lot of time in between of letting paint, bondo, and fiberglass resin dry. Don't be scared to do it yourself, i am not a professional by any means.

Heres mine, its not that hard to do just a little fiberglass work!

Before paint

i ended up mounting radio permanently to truck and the trim piece just fits to it

I like clarion stuff. Never had there double din stuff but there regular head units are great.

I just got my truck and i have a double din at home I'm so sketched out about fiberglass work. I'm really suprized no company's stepped up and made a kit for these trucks plus I have a Laramie with wood grane so I think a diff color would look wierd

If you want to buy one pre-made, this guy makes them and sells them (https://sites.google.com/site/trickedoutdodgerambezels/). He is proud of his work, but when i was reading on forums for how to do it myself he was one of the original people who did it. There is a lot of good information on forums for how to do it, so the information is there if you decide to customize your own bezel. This was my 1st attempt at fiberglass and i was pretty suprised at how forgiving it is. If you mess up you can sand it off and start over. I will be glad to help anyone with any personal experience i may have gained from this project.
