Heres my rig and the work done to it. Hope you guys like it. Alot of blood sweat and tears went into it. Saved 2 deployments of money to built it. Built in my buddies house garage by me 100%. Was a pain in the arse through most of it due to space and weight of axles LOL. Without further a due

Interior: Nothing Special, has the Upgraded Mopar touch screen unit with Navigation and all the silver such as door handle inserts, a/c rings and passenger grab handle have been painted red.
