Hi and welcome to mightyram. If you are a guy who likes getting dirty, the Ram is going to surprise you. They are tough and can handle just about anything (once you've gotten the bugs ironed out in your new toy). Could possibly be the best 4x4 of that era. Get a thread going, take pics and maybe show us where your truck is taking you. It's always interesting to see where members are putting their trucks through their paces.
