Default This is Ruby

Hello all, I recently joined this forum website just today and figured I'd show you all my truck. I have a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 Sport, quad cab, 5.9 Magnum, and it has the 4x4 package and sits on 35s. Rusty & Trusty.

I think it's worth mentioning too that this truck is essentially all original. With exceptions such as spark plugs, power steering pump, and a fan clutch when the keys were handed to me. Before then, my dad owned this truck, he ended up getting the whole front half of the truck redone, driver and passenger side doors and fenders, bumper, and things like that with the exception of rocker panels after a pretty bad accident with a telephone pole and a guard rail or two.

This truck is currently my daily and I'd like to retire it some day to use as a project to restore everything from body to engine and everything in between. Ol' Ruby has 267,735 on the clock and still kicks like a champ despite the issues I have with the engine nowadays. I'm sure you can find my post about the problems I got with it in the 2nd Gen tech forum.

Anyhow, I thought this would be a nice little introduction for me and my truck, so I hope you, reader, enjoy.
