A bit more weight reduction. A lot of custom work. Really solid though. Easy swap with driver's seat. Shed 50 more pounds with full weight reduction. Stock seatbelt connections attach to the original rear mounting holes for the stock seat (right side needed an extension). Had to remove the wire harness under the seat and reconnect it to get the chime to stop😐

Have the seat cover coming soon.

Very much so😁 mid to low 12s here in Vegas and maybe even the 11s near sea level, with the stock bottom end 5.7, naturally aspirated. 4000+ Hard Hit Paramount converter on the way. Bigger Jay Greene cam and ported heads before winter.

So… I’ve owned a 2003 DD, currently own a 2013 Crew 5.7 and eagerly await the delivery of my ordered 2022 R/T TnG. Strangely I’ve never really considered upgrading/customizing my DD’s until after joining this Forum recently. After taking the time to peruse the Forum and read thru this thread specifically I now have a friggin’ notepad list of ideas I can apply. Thanks to all of the contributors for that and hopefully I can start posting some mods, prob simple at first, when I get the 22. Not only can I not wait for the DD, but I can’t wait to start adding some items to it, crazy!!

When did you order your 22? I ordered our 22 on 03/28/22 and still in D status. The JNAP is due back online on 04/15/22 I hope my status changes then.

Yep, ordered mine on 04/22... So, little over a week ago the Salesman called me and said I was scheduled a build date of June 1 !?!?... have no idea how he arrived at that, seemed way optimistic. Been meaning to call him back and confirm and to get the current status code... assuming "D"? and get my VIN assuming its been assigned. Aside from having to call him back for updates, where else can I check? I've seen 'Dodge Chat' in other posts, haven't used it, but assume if I have a VIN I could inquire that way?

Preparation for some nice little upgrades. Stepping up to catless 1 7/8 LTs. Came in way quicker than expected.

Getting ready to tear down the top half again very soon. Gonna upgrade to Jay Greene's largest cam and getting the heads milled and ported. After it's back together gonna get the new Paramount hard hit converter installed after it's built and shipped.

Can't wait to run it on some MS109😁

Manton Gen3 Hemi valve springs and retainers. Probably gonna get their push rods too😉

Ran over a sheet of SheetRock kicked up by truck in front of me. Happened just north of Fort Worth on I35 during a quick trip to Kansas. It ripped off the Adaptive Cruise Control bezel, my license plate frame, unsnapped part of upper and lower grill, also the driver side fog light and a couple of fender clips. Lost the bezel and license plate frame (3am, still dark). Pulled over, snapped everything back in place, cleaned all the sheetrock dust and pieces out of the grill and off of the sonar emitter in front center of lower grill. Continued on the trip to Kansas. Took about 100 miles before cruise control started working right (had to reset it several times). I was lucky... No body or paint damage at all. Just had to replace a few fender/grill clips that I already had in the garage. I ordered a new bezel from Steve White Motors online, it will be here in a few days. After that I will give her an extreme washing and waxing/sealing. Sheetrock dust and pieces were stuck everywhere.
