Pics of my truck

[71ChargerRT]

Now that I calmed down from my previous rant, and I corrected the electrical issues that had occurred, I figured I'd post a couple new pics.

Here is that wonderful dash...


I have the center out, I broke it pulling on it.







I also replaced the tie rods and installed a leveling kit, I must admit I'm pretty happy with the 2.5-3" the front end came up, looks WAAAAAAY better, and rides more like a 3/4 ton truck now.

That truck has faced south it's entire life, my God that dash board is awful. [smilie=f:

I guess that is all the more reason to use sunshades in the front window area. Hmmm, where is mine because mine faces south in the driveway!!

Almost every Ram up to the '06 change I've seen down here has a cracked or broken dash. The 98-01/02 dashes are broken and collapsed into themselves and just leave a huge gaping hole. I don't want to spend, not that I have it to blow anyway, $400-600 on a new dash. If I do I'll definitely buy a dash mat for it.

We'll go shopping if you ever get up here. I've never seen so much as a hint of a crack on one of those dashes up here.

They stay pretty over here too. The box sides rot out, but the dashes stay pristine...

My 2000 had a cracked dash as well. I got a replacement at a wreckers for $100. I found that they are extremely brittle and when replacing it you can't be forceful with it.

The worst thing you can ever do to a dash is use Armor All.

That price from the wreckers tells you how much demand there is for them. If they were a hot item, the price would be a LOT higher.

I guess most people just leave it as is. I on the other hand hated looking at it and it was nowhere near as bad as 71chargers.

I wanted this, but I don't have enough dash left to glue it to.

Here is what I need, just not enough $$$ right now. Really low on priority list.
