That's me being polite, it can get much worse, and i think the 2002 3/4 tons were still the 2nd gen body style.

Thanks for the replies everyone! To answer some of your questions.....
I entered the USMC on 26 December 1983 and got out on 12 December 1987 (now that I have given everyone an idea of my age). I took a ten year break and tried to get back into the Corps but they told me that the Corps was unwilling to retrain me to work on a different aircraft(Hydraulic Mechanic on F4 Phantoms but USMC went to F18's). SOOO...the Army said They could get me in and since I had my CDL I could go from Basic training right to my first Duty Assignment. So here I am...been in the Army since April 1998. I got 1 Afganistan and 3 Iraq tours under my belt. Hope that explains a bit for everyone.
Yeah my Ram has the old style body which frustrates me cause i am having trouble finding any aftermarket stuff. I appreciate the tire info. Theres not much available as far as wheels either(that I have found).
It was nice having the two Challengers...i was lucky that my father was a bit of a gearhead and told me if I wanted them I had to work for them. It was awesome to work for and work on those cars!
One last thing for now....I may be in the Army but I will ALWAYS be a Marine! There are alot of us in the Army and those of us that have met STILL celebrate the Corps birthday EVERY year!
Semper Fidelis!!

HOORAH!!!!
+1 there is no such thing as an "ex" Marine always former Marine.
Do you ever get any heat from the fact that you were in the Marines and now Army? - I got some heat from my buddies when I was dating an Army MP and I was the 'devil pup" to the 3rd MAW in Okinawa... fun times...

To the OP: You are MORE than welcome to "hang" here in 3RD Gen, or anywhere else on the forum, but you'll get better technical answers in 2nd Gem Ram. Try posting your questions there...
