That's what I get for having youtube "stabilize" it.

Maybe I will upload it again...


Edit: I un-stabilized it. lol.

Now those are some nice looking tires. You will have to report back on how they do in mud. What's that truck got for a lift? More pics?

They are lovely indeed, 38.5x16 MT Baja Claws. Steal for the price. Trying to get them balanced before they get into play, they have sand but only stabilize at about 50 which is pointless for intown. I believe it's 6 or 7" Sus. 3" Body and 2.5" level. Not 100% i'll have to do some investigating, this is atleast what my pops says.

I purchased this 97 1500 with 127,000 miles on it a couple of months ago for $1200, not a great deal but fair I think. The only rust is on the drivers side rocker panel. It has a peeling paint issue I've seen with others Rams and some dings and dents (rather have that than rust) which I'll deal with in the spring.

So far repaired/replaced:
Steering box with a rebuilt. (Steering was very stiff and wandered a bit)
Rotors, pads, calipers
Passenger side brake hose (caliper was sticking)
Plugs, wires, distributor and rotor
Air filter
Vacuum leak to the CAD
The air would only blow out the defroster, fixed that.. turned out to be a disconnected vacuum hose
Oil & filter change
Air filter
PCV Valve
Cleaned power door lock and window switches, they work now woot!
The PO backed into something so I straightened out the rear bumper and repainted it.
I have the tow hitch off it now to repaint it, was rust and crusty.
Flushed and replaced coolant.

Still have lots to do but I've been so busy w/ work I haven't had much time to work on it and it really needs a good cleaning inside and out.

Next minor issues I'm going to take care of is removing the ghey pin stripping (I hate it), cleaning the carpet and repairing the headliner.

I'm going to put it on the road next week... in any event a few pics taken with a crappy digital camera:
