It was 80 degrees here today. :nana:Hope it stays nice out so I can take the Chally to a few more shows before it gets cold.

nice truck

Mean 318 · October 17, 2007, 09:43:53 PM

The last few are all the paperwork I have for the truck and my tool kit I made for it! The paperwork is all the insurance cards, warranty info, radio info, tire info, a dealership brochure, The cards from both salesmen who sold it, registration cards, and every service or work dont to the truck since new. The oil was changed every 1000 miles for the first 80,000 miles since then it has been 1,,500-2,000 miles.

Nice truck lad

Mean 318 · October 17, 2007, 09:49:48 PM

Hmmm those center caps are just about impossible to find! I have a good set o 4 but they are so hard to come by I keep them in the garage so nothing will happen to them! As for where to find them I would say 90-91 Rams and Ram chargers, The bitch of it is that the 4WD ones say 4x4 on them making them even harder to get! If ya do happent across one that you want to sell lemme know! I would like to replace one of mine that had a blemish.
P.S. ya got any pics of the Ramcharger?

Charger_Croatia · October 18, 2007, 02:47:27 AM

Nice truck!...and I'm with Hitman and 68chrgrwife..usually you need 4x4 over the winter

TeeWJay426 · October 18, 2007, 11:35:05 AM

Preparing for winter in mid- October??!! WTF? New England is bad enough..... I'm glad I don't live wherever it is you do!!!!!

PocketThunder · October 18, 2007, 12:05:51 PM

Nope, up here we buy some beater car for the winter so our nice vehicles can be saved from the Rust.

Mean 318 · October 18, 2007, 12:58:06 PM

YEP!
The Ram is too nice to beat on! Rust never sleeps!

I agree.

P.S. It was 85 degress today and I live in New England (the rust belt)

Mean 318 · October 18, 2007, 06:11:49 PM

Trust me, my friends all give me grief about it, and when I was in High School everyone wanted to go mudding $:-\$ but right now I am the only one who didnt wreak their car/truck so

BrianShaughnessy · October 18, 2007, 06:30:21 PM

TIme to put away the Trans Am and start up the Jeep. In about another month or so.

Too nice to put away the T top car yet.

The70RT · October 18, 2007, 06:58:47 PM

I say you gotta love the change of seasons though. Who likes to sweat all the time??? It was so hot this summer and right now I would rather throw another log on the fire.......60-70's all week.......no heat no AC, no grass to mow or snow to shovel

Amen brother.

I love the fall.

I can break out the snow blower for snow. I can live with that.

Wild fires and earthquakes? I'll pass.

CB · October 20, 2007, 03:57:46 AM

I LOVE that truck!
congrats on maintaining her so nicely

70charger_boy · October 20, 2007, 06:20:49 PM

The leaves are changing colors here in New England

I love the fall, just hate the winter, spring and summer

Brock Samson · October 21, 2007, 01:09:47 PM

Nice truck, winter storage is why she's still so sweet no doubt.
Nice to see folks take pride in their vehicles.
& on the subjet of the seasons...
Our Oct. is usually pretty hot and we call it our "Indian Summer". This year though, it's been cool and breezy most of the time...
and has rained several days this month more like our normal Dec. or March...

That's why i posted the weather thread four Mos. ago to see if anyone else's seasons were unusual...
Nice truck and Pics, too bad the weather wasn't better..

SeattleCharger · October 21, 2007, 01:35:59 PM

Nice 4x4!

There are so many old cars and trucks around here with no rust and in decent shape, I always wondered about bringing them back to the rust states, they would be more rare, not classics, just old cars and trucks, wonder if you could make money doing that, drive one back there and sell it, fly back or something.
I remember driving back to michigan in '90, had a '75 Celica GT, that is a GM town, nobody had ever seen one before, ha, and there were still a number of them around here, it had mags, looked ok, a chick I went out with thought it was an old Camaro

I drove it to the Toyota dealership and they were checking it out, hadn't ever seen one, was weird. There are lots of old pick ups and broncos and dodge ramchargers (more rare though than fords and chevys of course), even from 68 and up,

If you aren't familiar with pacific northwest, it rarely goes below freezing all winter, may snow a little once in a while that goes away in a day, no salt used, people do crash a lot of cars up though when it snows cause they don't understand about stopping and going down all the hills, a typical snow will have over 100 car crashes easy in just our county (King county) in a day or two, usually it is 50's and grey and drizzly, gets old after a couple months

Mean 318 · October 22, 2007, 03:32:09 AM

I just did that cuz its a ram not a charger, its new not old, and cuz a lot of people dont see it as a big deal so I thought it would keep from any upset people.

There are no upset people in this message board ?

75 and sunny here in Ohio yesterday, took the Charger for a long cruise.

That Ram would look best with a plow on the front. That thing is made for the snow.
