ok, so one of the 2 guys thinking about a new truck (not the ford guy, the 2001 dodge ram guy) bought an '06 mega cab 1/2 ton 4x4 with a hemi. he said the CTD's were still way too much for him so this was the next best bet. I took a look at it today and it is damn sweet, too long for me but it's damn sweet. took a look at his suspension an he has the same suspension as the 3/4 ton trucks do... and it's a 1/2 ton 1500. He also has 8 lug wheels on there as well, big rear disks and looks like oversized rear leaf springs.

anyways, just thought i'd throw that out there... it is a nice truck.

Poor MAYFAIR...
Steve05 - does this 1500 use the same frame rails as the heavier trucks? What about the front suspension? There used to be some substantial differences - I wonder what's up with making them the same now...

 

LOL .... how did you know that I overslept today ??

LOL

My ladyfriend popped a breaker last night while cooking me my din din and she forgot to re-set the alarm. I was over an hour late today.

You've got a camera now, get crackin !!

 

lol, well he's been gone on business travel for the last few weeks so pics were out of the question.

since getting the cheepie camera and getting frustrated with the lack of control over it I decided to upgrade my 35mm nikon 8008 to a nikon d200... it should be shipped today and should arrive next Wed/thur... meantime, I'll see if I can take some pics of it with the POS that I have...oops ment PAS (point and shoot) hahahaha.

I noticed that Jake made his sheep a ram by making it darker. No more pink lips

 

It was wet out so I didnt have a peak underneat to well... just looked @ the front suspension & rear to see the setup. I think since it's a bigger truck, DC decided to beef it up some. to me the rear brakes look as big as mine. I should put them side by side when I take the pics...

 

So your saying you don't want to get wet anymore. Steve, you ain't seen wet. You should have come up here a month ago.
