I watched one too many episodes of the Dukes of Hazzard, and thought all vehicles miraculously fixed themselves after they landed a 20 foot high jump. I was wrong, so a new front axle ran me about $1600, and some change.
Crushed the tailpipe climbing some rocks at Red Rock, in CA. Nothing a hacksaw couldn't fix. (no charge)
Drivers side rocker panel had a dinner date with a sharp rock. Bondo & labor (DIY) $40 max.
This truck is the last of real Sport Utilities. A 4 inch suspension lift from the factory, no cup holders, or vanity mirrors. A 35 Gallon tank for some serious road trips, and a nice, short wheelbase for going anywhere in the free world.
If this truck was a child, I would've been in jail by now. I gave her so much abuse since 1996, and she has held together pretty good for the beating she has taken. It is hard to find a Ram Charger in good shape where I live, because of people like me I guess?
The Bucket seats with swing-up arm rests are like a LA-Z-BOY in the cab of the truck.
I hope I never have to get rid of it, She has been good to me.
The RAM hood ornament serves no purpose, but I sure do miss them.
I have a '90 Ram Charger with a 360 and boy does it love gas! I drove these vehicles for many years in the Border Patrol and they outran and outlasted every other vehicle the patrol ever had. Mine has a loc-rite locker in the front axle along with Warn manual locking hubs and a Borgeson steering shaft. It has taken me on many fine adventures and hunting trips. After 15 years and 240,000 miles it is still going strong. Too bad they don't make tem anymore.
