Chewy Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 So after waiting 5 months and 1 day, I finally took possession of my new truck. It was raining so I was only able to take one picture of it. I asked them leave it dirty and MAN, is it ever dirty. They didn't do ANYTHING to it. PERFECT!!! It's not going to be a corrected vehicle, but it's going to be close. More pics to come once I get a chance to spend some time on it. I have a LOT of work to do to it. Heck, claying alone will take me forever on this thing. It's a CC with the smaller 5'7" bed with the RamBox system. Anyway... I'll update as I go along. THE Mook, MAYBEN and Hot_Wheel 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marylander Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Nice, and congrats. I'm really liking white vehicles these days -- with some good black contrasting bits they really look strong. MAYBEN and Chewy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Don't park it outside in a snowstorm! Great looking truck (what I can see of it). Congrats on the new ride! MAYBEN, Chewy, scootertrash19 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 White or silver were on my list... White won out. Not sure why. I DO like the storm trooper look though! My black G8 is filthy within minutes when I come to work. Looking forward to driving it someday. It's going to be a garage queen for now.

LimitedDodge Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 So they make you wait 5mths and 1 day and all we get is a front teaser shot? Congrats and looks sharp from the front! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 Yeah, sorry... It was raining, I needed to get back to work because we went live with a new computer system and we're having a hard go at it, and then last night I cut the grass and was BUSHED when I was done. Family time before truck time! 91º F and I bet 70%+ humidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwag one Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Raining? it's beautiful here in Bettendorf. That thing looks mean, great idea for the storm tropper. White FTW! Chewy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Slow Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Chris if I didn't have all of my upcoming time off spoken for I'd volunteer to drive the 2.5 hours and give you a hand. Heck I'd even bring the beer and my own lawn chair so I could be comfortable watching you... J/K Congratulations on the new ride. Chewy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwag one Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 OOO testing some new products, maybe?!?! Chewy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 I spent a few hours on it tonight. Full interior conditioning with LC, fixed one of the RamBox's that failed to open (fingers crossed it's fixed), debadged, and installed the tailgate shock. Found one chip in the paint above the tail light which is already rusting too! NICE! I see the Chrysler quality is shining on this one! I debadged the whole truck in 15 minutes. I have a trick way of removing the stickers and MAN is it easy. The exterior now needs washed, clayed and sealed. Oh, I removed the cover on the engine. No need to trap MORE heat in the intake plenum. Less heat soak is better. 3 photos show you fully lowered, normal, and off road 2 height. There's an off road 1 but I didn't show that. It lowers itself over 65 for better mpg too. CTFocusST and Mongosg8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwag one Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Ooo I love the lowered look. Are you taking it back due to rust and forcing them to fix it?! Give them Hell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 Hell no! I can put a dob of paint there. It's tiny!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you think I traded the black Vette and the dark red Impala in for 2 white cars? Live and learn I guess. Chewy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
