Hi guys, new to the forum, but not to the forum Scene, and figured I'd join because I heard you no longer have to have a R/T to join.

About me:
21. Dude.
Been into customizing stuff since I rode bmx and kept buying stuff for the pedal bike. Then when I got a car, more hell broke lose.
Also, I work in the custom truck world for about 2 years now.
I am a floor supervisor, sales rep, trainer, and livechat rep at StylinTrucks.
If you ever need anything lemme know and I'll hook u up.

About the truck:
Power:
00 Dodge Dakota Sport.
3.9L 5 speed
No air conditioning :(
Intake from Trans Am fabbed on.

Suspension:
Bagged. Air lift bags up front, w/o any shocks. (putting them on soon, gotta weld on the mounts)
Back has a custom Parrellel 4 link w/ FBI mounts and bars, Air Ride Tech front bar mounts to the frame.
It is controlled by a 10 switch box, 2 5-gallon tanks, and 2 Viair 450s.

Body:
Reflexxion's Cowl hood.
Shaved Tailgate, Taillights, and Gas door.
Fire and Ice light bar as tails.
Painted to match Mirrors and Door handles.
Clear corner Lenses.
Niteshaded Third brake light with turn signals intagraded w/ LED's on outside and normal bulb for brake, so it's delayed with a cool effect.
Leer Hard Top tonneau cover.
18"

In body shop as I type being finished as we speak. Needed Tonneau and hood repainted, fender has slight rust on driver side, and gurlfriends dad hit the bed, so all that is going to be fixed.


Interior:
Smoothed, then Black Tweeded Dash.
Horn wrapped in Black Tweed w/ "Lo Fn Kta" Embroided with White thread. Having it redone with Silver thread.
Black and Silver Tweed Seat Covers, free thanks to a contest at work via Cal Trend.

I also have a 99 GSX-R 600, and a 95 Jimmy (Which I am looking to replace with a gas friendly car)

And I am currently prospecting in "vertically-challenged" car club.

Featured in Minitrucking in our add, and on our site under reflexxion hoods.

Here is my employee biography, in the state I bought my truck in. Redid rear suspension and alot since then, and did stuff before these pics.

It's pretty funny an older guy knows what "in the weeds" means and you, young, owning a bagged, almost laying frame truck, doesn't! :laughing:

That's what alot of people say about a real low ride!:biggthumpup:
