i just bought my first ram. a 2001 Ram 1500 Sport 4x4 with the Off-Road Package. its got 62000miles on it. and its body and interior look new. its got 33"tires (cooper discovery), rancho shocks, 5spd, power everything, cruise, pioneer cd player, 5.2 engine, aftermarket exhaust. a couple other accessories and options. and i only paid $9650. so i think that unless theres more to the truck then mentioned, 16K is WAY too much.

Well, we got it, and for a little less than they were asking at first. 295s 16" tires

Son works for my engineering firm & he will be making the payments.

Nice looking truck. [sm=icon_rock.gif]

I wouldn't call it huge by any means though. I thought you meant something running 38's or 40's with 10 inches of lift or more. That's huge in the world of Rams. 3" lift with 295's is about average though. Hope he likes it. Wish I had gotten somthing that nice when I was his age. My first ride was a '79 Mustang with a 4 cylinder. [:'(] At least it was a stick.

I agree, very sharp!

I love the look of rams with 3" or so of lift and 33's. Its not huge, but it just give the truck a "big and mean" look without going to extreme. Of course I might be partial to it cause I have 3" and 33's

When I said "monster tires", they seem like it to me from up close, and compared to stock tires. Bigger than anything we have ever had.

Steve, I guess it is a mystery what all has been done to it outside of a lift kit, rims, tires, step bars, bedliner, exhaust. I will go over it a little more later on today. The sales manager told me he was considering getting the truck as it would look good with his red Viper, but I found it in the back of the lot, had not even been processed into the used car inventory yet, and the sales guy got the ball rolling for me.
There are a few paint chips, but are small & we will touch them up with matching factor paint bottle. I will take a few more photos from the back, front, underneath. I am ignorant of the large 4x4 truck hop ups, so you guys may see something.
