Bought this from my uncle out in Kansas and drove it all the way back to San Diego with my girlfriend Jordan during my spring break, hit Royal Gorge and Ouray in Colorado, Moab, then Arches, Zion, and Vegas on the way back and the truck took it all in stride from semi truck-tipping winds and desert heat to heavy snow at 12,000 feet in elevation and unruly wildlife. Oh and sneaky undercover Utah cops in modified 5.0 Mustangs haha. She’s floaty like a big blue whale, but angry, and Hemi-powered.

Re: Zach’s ‘06 Ram Power Wagon; Big Blue
thanks Tony, I was a little reluctant to go back to driving a Dodge again but I'm hooked on it, it just eats up anything the trails can throw at it. Maybe later on down the line I'll replace the factory-spec Bilstein stuff with something a bit more useful in the whoops, a new set of coils and leafs would help too but that likely means sacrificing some towing capability which I'm not sure I want to do since its a 3/4-ton
Potato.
