Ricardo Reyes
(aka BigRick)

Hello D owners, my name is Ricardo "BigRick" Reyes, I’m 28 and I own a black 2001 Durango, 5.9, R/T, AWD with the tow package. I live in York, PA with my wife Amy, daughter Tiara, (10 going on 25) son Marcus, (5 going on 18) and two pitbulls, Bear, 4 and Haley, 1.

I enjoy driving the D and showing it off, playing Texas Hold Em (All In), fishing and getting drunk. I’ve been into modding my cars since I was 17 when I owned a 63 Chevy Impala which had 14" Dayton spoke wheels, hydraulics, and a full stereo system. (Man I miss that car) I work for National Interlock and am PA’s state head technician. In my spare time I breed my pitbulls and work with Roland With Sounds.

I purchased my D back in Oct 2004 and didn’t want to do a whole lot to it. I started out with some 22" rims, 5% limo tint, a cheap grill and some headlights. I soon came across the DOC when I met Bob Roland from Roland With Sounds here in York, PA. He introduced me to Tyrone in MD who had a platinum D that was tricked out pretty nice. So I installed a touch screen Kenwood KVT-915 and two visor screens. Not too long after, I went to my first show with the D, the All Chrysler Nationals in Carlisle PA, where I met a great group of guys (DOC) and won 1st place in our showfield. I was stunned to be honest as there were some very nice D’s there. I was also bitten at that moment. I figured if I wanted to keep competing against D’s like Rick’s (2KRT), I had to step my mods up a little. So the D goes in to the shop to get some work done.

It was supposed to just be a fiberglass enclosure and a couple of 12's. The longer it took, the more I added. Next thing you know I have:
