Here's my 1999 24v ctd 3500 4x4 Sport Intense Blue Pearl Dually with every optional equipment(except fog lights), including electric leather seats.
I shipped it from Miami, Florida to Finland, Northern Europe at July 2006.
The truck was stock, except 285/75 R16 tires, 4" magnaflow exhaust system and the Hypertech programmer.
Since then I have ordered some TUV - approval papers worth for over 3000 usd from Germany and then showed those to Finlands VTT, both are similar than EPA or National Safety centers etc.
Also for the same reason I can't get my truck registered in here for stock condition, wich is the lack of e-certificated lights, steering,braking, exhaust etc systems.
All of these can be passed for those TUV test papers, except the lights.
So I have build E-certifiated lights for my truck, every light on my truck has E-numbers now, except the roof marker lights, wich are illegal(but I just took those off for the yearly inspection).
I have separate yellow front, rear and SIDE turning signals, rear park and brake lights are still red. Even my license plate lights are E-certificated.
My front parks are bright, not yellow, the separate park bulbs are inside the HELLA E-approved light, which has H4 halogen with low and high beam inside the same bulb. I also have the required electric driving lights height control inside the cab.
After I got my truck registered, I installed these parts in this order:
Warn front fender flares, K&N Air intake system,Glacier diesel lift pump kit,gauges, Buckstop Outback bumper, self made running boards, mud flaps, TST PM3, Espar 5kw diesel heater, 5-6" lift kit, my self made upgraded audios with 6 channel amp and 10" subs on my home made box under the backseat, Fully built billet DTT tranny, DTR's Z06-Lite:s used 3rd gen wheels with seven brand new 37x12.5 Pro Comp X-Treme AT tires, Complete 3 turns lock-to-lock quick PSC Steering system with DSS, borgeson shaft and ram assist Home made 19" dropped hitch with European trailer electrics, Acces Roll-Up cover, Hella lights on the buckstop bumper, 3" body lift and self made leather covered 3 seater "sofa" in the bed for three people, so my truck is registered for nine people. Our local cops hates me, this is the first one in here, I found a nice loophole in our VERY restricted law.
I know I forgot a lot of stuff, but these were mainly the parts I have added.
And a week ago I ordered Haisley Machines Head gasket with mild steel fire rings, studs, F1 Diesel's Mach 6 injectors, Quadzilla Adrenaline with Pulse monitor, 6 inch chromed Bull-Hauler Stacks and ATS Compounds. I'm still considering their(ATS) lock-up controller.
I have also built my own traction bars but I'm still developing those and haven't installed those yet.
Oh and the pics
These are taken at Florida 2006 June:
This is from my home yard in Finland, I'm starting to do rust protection on the trucks undercarriage.
This is the current look of my truck:
PS: I love my truck, but I have noticed that local cops really DON'T.(notice the legally sitting three friends of mine on the bed)
I'm leaning towards the tailgate on that pic with two officers surrounding me, I'm 6'6 tall so my truck looks can lie.
PPS: TexasCTD: Nice looking black look on your truck, looks mean and sleek with those H2 rims.

Well I don't have any pictures of what it looked like back in 1999, however the truck was Cab and Chasis, no flatbed, no whips, no black undercoating along the doors and cab, no aux. lights. Just a plane old silver Cab and Chasis Dually.

Beginning of this summer:
Right Now:
And def. not finished yet
Freshening up the frame, doing body work all over the cab, installing a box, the list goes on!
