2000 Dodge Ramcharger
This is my 2000 Dodge Ramcharger, it was made in Mexico and only sold in Mexico.
I found it in Cali and had a friend buy it for me and shipped to Texas. I have been working on it for about a year.
About May last year I had to replace the transmission, I went with a MSaine HP transmission... its been great.
I put it in the shop about October for a paint job and they finished it up in December... there was a lot of work to do on it as it was down to bare metal because the PO did krylon on it. Once it was soda blasted we found a lot of work that needed to be done body wise.
I am now working on the engine, I have Mike @ MRL Performance building a 408 Stroker. 420hp 500+ ft lbs of torque... It should be fun
After that is done I am going to focus on the interior. Once finished its going to be my daily driver for a while. It's a great truck with lots of room. Wish they had sold them in the USA.

found it on craigslist. It was not much $$ wise, but also not much to look at.
I am still saving up for the interior work, but basically I have touched every other part of the truck. Rear Axle, body, electrical, transmission, engine, steering column.
I am about to put an air lift suspension on it to help with towing and rebuild the front end.
Its been a lot of work, but its a lot of fun to see a 5300 # truck move that fast... and still get decent gas milage for the weight/ engine it has. Decent being 13.5 ish in town, 16-18 on highway and about 10 pulling a 7k # trailer.
