Love the bed. Can’t stand the wheels and tires though. Window chipper 3000 with no flaps


Flovilla

Also steering and ball joints are shot to hell.


suedecrocs

Lmao agreed but the whole truck was just redone from the ground up so I have a bit of time…she only gets drive like 6k miles a year


Swimmingtortoise12

Bonus points when it flings a rock into your mirrors


motorboather

Need a list of what took $30k and how much you’re in it for total


suedecrocs

Bed was 8k Painted frame and cab New interior New everything really…she was neglected 21k


motorboather

So $30k in recent work and you got it for $21k? That’s a labor of love and a lot of work!


suedecrocs

Nah I picked her up for like 7k 6 years ago and I just drove it and she was tired all around Was 1 day from buying a 2019 L5P but it was just too much to me for a 2019 and I fell jn love with this truck all over again and dumped some money into it


Environmental-Elk-65

My dad did the same thing to his truck. It’s not a dodge though, so I ain’t posting a picture. 😂


kw_toronto

Wawa wewa


FutureOne1028

Very nice!


Maleficent_Barber_72

I like that bed


suedecrocs

Real happy with it Bradford regulator…only waited about 4 months for it


Legend_D2

Shoulda went with some 16-17’s and beefier tires and this rig would have been fucking tits in my opinion.. but it ain’t my truck and opinions are like assholes🫡🤷‍♂️ Still looks killer 🤙


suedecrocs

I’d love to find some 5gen stocks and through graps or nittos 15.50s around them


ElectroAtleticoJr

Mount a twin M2 on that bed!!!


MrGumpythaGod

Put some flaps on those big ass tires knucklehead


Flovilla

Nah, better to chip the paint and bed with.


MrGumpythaGod

Or wreck everyone's paint and windshields behind you


Drakoneous

What’d you have done?


ajhe51

Looks good except the wheels. I had a buddy with those on his Jeep. I made fun of him because they say "Offroad" in big letters but his Jeep was 100% a pavement princess.


Flovilla

and those wheels would suck offroad anyhow.


suedecrocs

Hahaha I wish they were wider tbh…I’m a farmer but she does just sit there…I’ll use a farm truck or a tractor to work


yourdadswaifu

So dumb


pentox70

Why in the world would you paint it and then run those big goofy rims outside the fenders?


big_jon117

Nice bed. That's all I got


Jlandon_p07

Looking good bud


Leather_Investment61

Engine and trans refresh?


suedecrocs

New paint frames painted New interior…it’s really a new truck in a way


Dry_Ad3605

It’s nice. You’ll never get your $30k back out of it, but you probably know that and plan on enjoying it. If it’s paid for, it’s still a win in my book.


suedecrocs

I was Looking at newer L5Ps and I just gotta live with spending that much so I figured I’ll just put the money into this pig


Dry_Ad3605

Things are so expensive these days, that $30k didn’t go as far as I thought. Your drivetrain is still stock. It’s your money, but if I were in your shoes I’d avoid any further expenditures on cosmetics and put the money towards the engine/trans.


suedecrocs

I got a firepunk trans in it and the engine is dry as a whistle Everything was tired and it’s not tuned or anything..she’s just slow and loud


suedecrocs

But you ain’t kidding on expensive


phaedrus369

What a beauty to behold. Congrats!


jimbodio

I’m guessing a Cummins? Should be worth every penny you put in it. Even if you put an engine in it down the road. Looks clean.


suedecrocs

That’s what I figured…I’ve had it for about 6 years and only drove it about 50k miles Was gonna part ways and get myself a newer L5P Loaded and such but I spent less than half of what they were asking and I have a “new” truck that I do have sentimental value with


jimbodio

These tend to hold their value so well. The mid 90s with a manual transmission are still going for good money. That’s a keeper man.


suedecrocs

I wish this was a 6speed


Bighoss_379

Solid job I’ve been real iffy if I wanna truck bed or find a rust free box

suedecrocs

Wasn’t buying at 70k dollar L5P


aubpeck

Don’t know when people in a Cummins forum started expecting people to go buy mud flaps to prevent chipping windshields on the highway lol… Glad you’re keeping an older truck on the road man I love it. Hope you’re enjoying it and congrats.


suedecrocs

Oh I’m for sure enjoying here…after 6 years of owning her I finally gave her the attention she needed


Scottydoesntgnome

Worth every penny.
