Well....just drove home in near white out conditions. Wasn't going to let a little foot of snow falling in a 4-5 hour time period stop me from getting my new truck ::

Dodgeram, 3500, Dually, HO Diesel, 4x4, 8 foot bed.

All I can say is WOW...this thing handled driving home in the snow storm on untreated roads like a champ.

Now....how long till I can do this?

My brother just bought that exact truck, in that exact color. He bought it 3 days ago. Nice truck. I think he spend $35,000 for it.....not cheap. Great truck, though. (FOR A DODGE!!!!! :))

Do what? Park in the snow? I'd say you could do it now ... in fact, I think you're already doing it! :rofl:

I think you posted the wrong pic!
I posted the right pic...its a quicky photochop of the truck with a lift and 37 inch tires. Not much visual reference to gauge the change since the proportions stay pretty much the same ;)

Yeah... but why?
Because I can.

Mustang don't need 400-500 HP
Trucks don't need 37 inch tires

But we all know how much fun they are when they are like that ;)

NICE ! But the REAL question is: What does SWMBO think...?! :peeping:
SWMBO was with me when we bought it....I know she would have been happy with the 2500 single wheel diesel...but she likes this one too ;)

She's just afraid to drive it right now since it is about 2.5 foot longer than the old one and has those double wheels. IN reality thought the old truck with the 15.5 wide tires and the larger offset on the rims was almost as wide as a dually...its just the big fender wasn't there to tell you about it

Hopefully at least until the warranty runs out!
Warrantee? They come with warrantees????


:joker:

I waited 12 months with the old one but only because they didn't make a lift for it till then. I don't know if I can't wait that long this time...especially since there are dozens of different lift kits out there already :highfive:

That was a quicky... you can see you forgot to remove the old wheel well when you did the picture... I see two emblems on the side. :)

I can see how adding horsepower to anything could make it more fun, but does a lift kit really make it more fun (except, say, for maybe the once a year offroad adventure)?

Anyways, don't forget to repoint the headlights if neccessary.

Whats that look on your face dodgestang. ::

Hey if I can drive this setup, she should be able to drive the truck. The dually pulls this like a charm. You don't even know it's back there. ::
