Wow. Does not sound like a good time. Lucky for me I live out of town and have a job I can kinda do remotely (which I have been forced to do). So if I get stir crazy I hop on the 4 wheeler and go for a rip.

People gather there which can cause the virus to spread.

Seems to me that a Gas Station would be considered essential...... Unless they want to shut down travel completely. How are the folks that have 'essential' jobs supposed to get there, if they can't put gas in their car???

Well, I have never really expected 'intelligent behavior' from a government entity. I think that's against the rules.

A non off-road truck would only be like $3500-4 in the condition that one was. I want one so bad but I can't justify that kind of money for a few extras that I don't have now. Mainly the LSD and 4.10s. So here my

My 01 ram 1500 4x4 quad cab Laramie SLT Off Road Package Edition
question to those who have one, are they really that special that there is a $2,000-4,000 premium on these? I can get a 2500 v10 cheaper here.
bought mine in CdA Idaho last month. Paid $3990 and had 226k with new radiator, front end and U-joints , transmission , and new 16 inch tires. Found original window sticker that says off road package came with 17x8 alloys. Someone must have swapped out the rims for cheaper tires.
