Default Okay I know it is not a jeep BUT I LOVE IT AND ITS MINE!!!!!

Going back to my roots (I LOVE TRUCKS AT HEART) I had an old dodge truck that was handed down to me from my father in high school and drove it until it fell apart. We got 250,000 miles out of the little beast.

Anyways I digress, I havent had a jeep in months and have been driving a little car around for months. Finally put my sack back between my legs and picked this beauty up the other day.

2011 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab
3.92 rear end with limited slip (I LOVE IT)
Sirius for one year free (then i gotta pay)
Heated mirrors (FREAKIN SWEET)

Sorry guys no hemi but I do like the V6 engine in this thing. I dont know yet if its the same from the jeeps but I think not????? Seems much better than the jeep engine. Maybe one day down the road I will be pulling my old cj on a trailer with this.







I wanna put a cold air intake, chip it, smoked recon cab lights, two fog lights behind grill, falken 33x12 or 13.50x 15's or 17's (Cant decide). Also a cb and maybe some strobes or sirens for when i become a firefighter and I can be part time somewhere for volunteer work.

Nice truck, I miss having a pickup as well, especially when doing home improvement projects. I plan to wait and see if the new Ford 6.7L diesel is up to snuff, pick one up, then tow the Jeep to Moab and Colorado in a couple years.

that would be nice to have the diesel. Maybe in the future when I can afford a diesel the cummins will be my new baby.

Looks nice. There are times I miss my old truck. That big bed sure comes in handy. The down side is now you will probably get a lot more calls to help friends move....
