Never really went anywhere with this truck due to my job and the money I didnt make working there. Mostly went camping with it and up to Bad Axe Michigan a couple times

My 2008.

Was my 2nd vehicle. Was a Quad Cab Laramie, 4x4, 4.7L V8. Had 6cd changer, alpine sound system, leather seats.

Had this truck 2 years, put 35,000 miles on it. Had I taken it on my last 2 trips it would have been 40,000. I took this truck everywhere. A couple weekends in Frankenmuth, up to mackinaw for a weekend, To Kentucky for a week, Cedar point, all kinds of places. Never went trail riding with this one. I was one of the first to have the 08's when they came out, at least in my area, I knew a lot about them before most people even got to touch one

With less then 700miles on the truck, I blew a red light and T-boned an intrepid while going 35mph. I totaled the intrepid. This is what my truck looked like

Nice pics. Cool documentary of your "Dakota Life".
But, those wheels on your Ram are just too big. You need 18's.
