Cool Dumbest thing you have ever done with your ram

So what is the dumbest thing you guys have ever done with your RAMS? I will start out by saying mine was jumped a few years back, about 6ft in the air and she came down hard, but nothing broke. I was even in 4wd. The shocks did not last much longer after that though...lol

went too slow into a snow bank and got stuck on bald tires..... never did that again.

was stuck so bad i had to leave it overnight, local pd called me a 2am and asked what it was doing down there. ended up snapping a tow rope, so we ended up using a 6 foot long tow chain used on tow trucks to get her unstuck.

also tried plowing with bald tires 2 winters ago, and ended up stuck in 2 1/2 feet of snow bank, because my rear tires caught the bank spun and pulled me in. 2-3 hours later i was pulled out by an f150, super embarrassing!

thats about it i think!

Yea I jumped mine once. On accident. Was driving wrecklessly through Kerrville hills and was going up a hill that suddenly dropped flat, then went back up again, and I was completely airborne over that flat spot, but she landed so SMOOTH. Scared the pi$$ out me though.

Got into a race with a buddies f150 and an other friends 04 2500 Hemi. Passed the f150 and caught the Hemi and as I went to pass him there was a car coming so I held off and he cut to the inside lane on a left hand curve and as I took the outside line around the curve at about 80 the *** end decided it wanted to try and come up front. The nose of my truck was facing the side of the Hemi. By some miracle I got it back in the right direction and proceded to sh** my pants on the side of the road.

When I had my 01 I took it down a road that everybody jumps their vehicles on. Usually about 40mph is fast enough to get good air. BUUUTTT I was 17 and thought awwww hell I can do it at 70. And I did and it was measured that from the crest of the hill to were I landed was 38 feet. The guys on the side of the road said I was atleast a good 8 feet off the ground. Snapped 3 studs off my left rear tire. Blew 3 of the shocks. Power steering was gone. Bent control arm and trans took a dump 3 days later... that repair bill still haunts me. $3,600...

Don't ever give in to peer pressure

This is an awesome thread There is alotta dumb stuff but one thing that comes to mind, was I was datin this girl and we were out takin some dirt roads and I came to this spot that I knew I couldn't get through. I was gonna turn around and shes like all, "no you can make it!" I'm like all..... "ok". Needless to say I did not make it, hung it up good, couldn't get er dug out myself so ended up callin my dad at 1am and he came and pulled us out
Moral of the story, don't listen to women
