But I'm sure someone will. Anyway, here are the pics(sorry, iPhone pix quality not too good)


Entering into the SC


Log by speed, 0-60 selected.


6.93 0-60. Remember, these are all VIN locked. (Waits for next bash) And yes, truck is sitting on 37's, 3:55 anti-spin rear, "windsail" 9" lift... imagine numbers if I put on stock wheels a 31"...


SC in cab, I apologize for the muddy mats, did some mudding earlier :x


Yes, it is a 5.9L motor.


Proof of motor.


Dirty ram. The way it should be.


Now, I am awaiting the bashing from cherry ram. Let me see here..

Doesn't stock hemi run about 7 seconds in the 0-60?
Remember, I said I could KEEP UP with a hemi, like I said 30 times before, by the time we hit the stoplight we were neck and neck. Me on 37's, him on stock teenies.
Why does the truck in this picture not seem like it's lifted 9"?

I'm not trying to hate, I actually always liked you...Nick told me about this today and I didn't know he was talking about you, but I saw this picture and it really tripped me out, because the distance from the cab in that pic to the ground doesn't look right. Even in comparison to the person taking the picture, it seems like it should be higher lifted 9"...It seems like it's about the same as where MY trucks cab sits and it's just leveled on 35s. Prob just the pic, but it's really bothering me lol. I mean, obv it's your truck it's the same color, same kind of mud on it, same cab style. I'm just observing rofl

oh and shouldnt the video be up by now?!

^^ Thats a very good point... We are still waiting on this video that you said you were suppose to have for us yesterday.

Did you use your one of your buddies trucks that is the same color and has a hemi to do the 0-60 pics??

I'm 6'4. And I didn't get a chance to make the vid yesterday, my girl got sick and I was taking care of her. In the video I make I will physically do a walkaround of the truck, because now apparently my truck isn't lifted 9" lol. Do I need to bring a tapemeasure too? And a good zoom in on the 37's? LOL, the comments are getting ridiculous but I'm in too good a mood today to care so I'm not going to get aggressive. Video will be going up asap, let me go get the camera and make it. Oh yeah, and let me go get my "friend" who has another gray dodge ram with slt plus interior and a vin locked SC and the same mud pattern and the same background as mine to make the video of. ROFL, sorry but this really did give me a good laugh this morning:-) LOL

If you dont have a subwoofer on your speakers, then you suck, and this video will not sound cool. However, if you do, please continue to press play.

0-60 6.8 seconds. (Movement starts at 0:03 in the video, 60 hits at 0:09.8)
0-90 15 seconds

Continue watching to see the engine inspection, tire inspection, and fun exhaust rev at the end;p

Also, youtube says it's still processing the video, so the quality is ****ty. I think when it's done processing the quality is what I recorded it at, so be patient.
Edit:
Just noticed time stamps are a little off (about .5 secs?) after youtube processed the video. If anyone has a dispute on these video times, I will gladly email you the original quicktime video on my comp.

thanks. im going to dig out some fun vids of mudding in it, and hitting kelly flats offroad trails. those are much cooler vids :P lol

EDIT! Just had a sweet idea. I want to do a pull-off with someone. Maybe a ford so it's a guaranteed win. LOL. Any ideas of what could match up to do a pull off with my truck? I have a chain and I'm located in Fort Collins if any members wants to do it. I'd love to rip a chassy out from under any worthless toyota. That would be a dream for me.

hm... maybe my truck is faster than I thought, because that doesnt seem all that much faster than mine is get up and go, it is, but not that much... I think the biggest difference Im seeing is that yours seems to shift a lot better than mine does at the moment. I guess maybe I should go out and actually get a time on mine. I wonder what it will do when my Superchips comes in on monday... And for the record, I never doubted that it was your truck being shown in the pictures or that you didnt have 9 inches of lift, although it is kind of funny, if you look at that picture it really does make the ground seem a lot closer to the truck than it really is haha. Optical illusion.
