RE: TRX4 On the job.
Thanks for the compliments on the photo quality. It's my job so they better be good!
As far as the difference in features and it being a different ram or not. Isn't it the differences that make it different? I don't get it. Or is it the things that are the same that make it no different? Or does it even make any difference? Is there a point?
So far it's my favourite vehicle I've ever had. Lots of fun to drive. Doesn't turn heads as much as the Magnum which still got compliments right up to the week before the lease was up, even though it had 500 little scratches and scrapes which drove me crazy. Or turn heads like the Mustang which I got early on in 1995 right at the start of the complete redesign. Both the Magnum and the Mustang were hell to drive in the city. Great on smooth pavement or over the typical small bumps. Hit anything substantial and you might as well hit your spine with a sledgehammer. I bottomed both cars out more times then I can count.
It sure has a pile of power. It's funny to me, still, to not even pay atention to speed bumps. I've been offroad three times now in the few days I've had it and it has performed way better than I expected it. I won't be mud boggin or rock climbing with it. I'm a photographer by trade and look forward to getting to places I couldn't before.

can't you get the powerwagon with a locking front diff??

Sad thing is, my Grand Cherokee Overland has them too. Plus Quadra-Drive II, the sucker will put 100% of the engines power to a single wheel with traction. You take away the ground clearance advantage my truck has, and the Grand Cherokee beats the crap out of it off-road, hands down...

Unless they've changed it in the last year or two, they are standard with both front & rear lockers.

of course the cherokee is better. that's what it's designed for. hell, their motto is "trail rated" but you can use the ram to pull 5 cherokees to the mountain, unhook it, and drive it up the mountin too.

I waited until the contruction crew was gone for the day and drove up on the unfinished bridge for the pics just before sunset. All the time thinking my Magnum would have been toast trying to get there. There was fencing all around the site so I had to drive in the back route way.
