Used to Ram to haul a tree I cut down today. Biggest one I've felled yet, dropped exactly where I wanted it

Got some pictures of the load, it's really taxing my 1500 suspension and there is still A LOT of tree left to cut up. On the plus side it has AWESOME traction right now



Ridin low:




Ridin high:

Haha. I think as long as I don't go up any hills in reverse I'll be ok

This tree is on the road going down to the creek, not even 1/8th of mile from my parking spot.

If it starts to go it may just be time to trade her in

^He wants a 4x4.


Cleaned the negative battery terminal, re-greased it, smooshed the clamp a little tighter, put it all back together.

Took off my lights and mounts, painted the mounts.



Then I got the hair-brained idea to sand off the oxidation on the bumper pad....it works, slowly, but it works.

Oops! 1/8th of a mile. Little road by the barn in my picture thread is the road down to the creek.

Maybe dlyter will decide to dump his Gen 2 and use the 3rd Gen and put his MegaViper up on Craigslist, I call dibbs! Oh wait, that's for a 4wd, dammit!

Edit: Need a 4x4 dodge dude94!

So I finally decided to paint my light mounts.

After paint:



Mounts mounted:



Lights mounted:



Lights on:



Headlights, fog lights, driving lights:



Highbeams, fog lights, driving lights:



Same as before, but with the engine running:



Everything is much more noticable in person or at night.
