I
bought this truck barely used a few days before September 11th, 2001. I
had always
wanted
a full size Dodge so I traded in my Dakota for this. At the time of purchase,
I did
not even know "why" my Dodge sat up taller than most. I saw the Off Road
sticker
on the back but had no idea what that meant. In the last few years, I have learned most of
what there is to know about Dodge trucks thanks to various forums and websites.
I also want to thank "The
Beast" at Lockitup Offroad for building my axles and then
driving 10 hours up to my house to help install them. He saved me a ton of
money
and is an awesome guy to hang out with. He has a 4x4 site and his club is
probably
one of the most hardcore of any clubs out there. They have a discussion
board as well.
I am proud to say that I have built this truck myself, not paid a shop to do it
all. I have to
thank my friend Justin for always putting up with me and my desire to always
change up
something on my Dodge. If it was not for Justin, this truck would not be
what it is today.
Once we get some good pictures, I will be making a page about his truck as well.
