1999 Dodge Ram Spring Break Re-Build


Recommended Posts

Hey guys it's spring break so it's time to start working on my truck again. For those that do not know I drive a 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 Ext. Cab 5.9L Laramie SLT. It may be old but it's only got 45K miles on it. Anyway I plan on removing everything and rebuilding from the ground up. I will be using the same equipment and box, but I will make everything neater and more professional. Over this weeks break I plan on repainting my box, carpeting my amp rack and rear seat combo, installing SDS CLD Tiles, Plasti dipping all chrome and silver parts, along with either an exhaust install or new headlights and hids (or both). Along with these upgrades and installs I plan on adding plenty of additional add-ons to this setup over the next few months.

Lets begin with the original picture of the truck (this is just a pic. from online, but is the exact same truck as mine rims and all)

The first thing I did was strip down all things inside of the truck to prepare the metal to be cleaned and covered in SDS CLD Tiles. All doors are exact reverse replicas so there is no need to show both sides.

Just a few more pictures I sent to Don at SDS and asked him to label where I should place each tile. Great fast response and I love how he wants the best for everyone by providing excellent services and products. Back to the pictures.

All photos are edited by Don to show future CLD Tiles locations.

nice truck

i prefer the look of 100% coverage tho on the deadener bc i never put my headliner back in after i apply deadener

Yea I wanted to do full coverage, but saw no need in wasting money that I don't really have so I went with what would give me the best results with the lowest cost. Should have pictures of CLD tiles layed out later today. I had a lot more than what he placed on the pictures so I just put it wherever I thought it was needed.

Here's some pictures of the SDS CLD tiles installed. Just from the sound when tapping the doors and roof seems it like it's 100X better.

Some pictures of everything reinstalled. I plan on removing the box and amp rack/seat when it warms up again to carpet and repaint the box.

Leave him be. He's just talking shit and laying on his bathroom floor listening to Dashboard Confessional. Let nature take it's course and pump this chick in the butt. Let her know who's boss.

I originally and currently have it just as a storage space, but I will make it my new battery bank once I buy the batteries and I will probably replace this storage with a stealth black toolbox. As for the CLD tiles I couldn't be more pleased with the results. If your trying to stop road noise your going to need more than CLD tiles. I would recommend you email Don at SDS and he can tell you exactly what you need to best fit your needs.
