Like the blue on the Ram, Extra points for Hemi.

I miss that thing. Wish I hadn't sold it. Don't miss 11mpg, though.

I remember when the new Ram came out I was all like "OMG 20's so gangsta!"

But then Ford was like 'heres 22s on our smaller SUV.

Looks like a very clean truck also! But, yeah 11 mpg isn't exactly optimal.

Nice color choices! Although I've never been a fan of the Babyface Ram, that thing looks sharp

I know, they seemed like such a bold move at the time, but now everyone and their brother has a 20"+ option.

For the most part I think they look good. Those 20s with 275/60 tires were heavy SOBs, though.

My uncle had a Blazer just like that throughout much of the '90s. I liked it a lot. Except for the seatbelt reminder chime. It wasn't really a "chime" as much as it was an obnoxious screeching sound.

I don't recall that sound. Maybe mine was broken, or maybe I just blocked it out. :)

Here's some of mine. We still have the WJ. The Mazda 3 was a rental although I eventually bought one. The Aspire is missed, believe it or not.

Thanks, that was my first new-ish vehicle. Bought it straight out of college with 38k miles. Put a Flowmaster Series 50 Deltaflow on it and it sounded so sweet. Wish I hadn't sold it.

I love the face on those 3s. It's as if it's saying, "I'm going to kill you in your sleep, and I'm going to enjoy it."

You can hear it in this video when he starts this Blazer.

I know, everyone else hates them but I loved them.

They are damn fine trucks. My wife had a 2003 2500 SLT HEMI in high school (pulled horse trailers everywhere) and we bought a 1998 1500 SLT Laramie Quad that, if it wasn't for the shitty shitty SHITTY 46RE transmission(s - three of 'em in six months), we'd probably still have.

Those, and the two Dakotas, say apparently we're a Dodge truck family lol

Once I heard that momentary drop in pitch when he started cranking it came flooding back. Must have repressed that....

My parents bought a black '98 Quad Cab Sport when I was in high school and I absolutely fell in love with it. Wanted a Ram from that moment on so as soon as I could afford it after college, I did it.

I originally looked at the 2001 Off Road packages because I just loved the wheel/tire package, but then started looking at the newer body style and decided, "To hell with it, I'm getting a Hemi!"

Should of put these on your truck though.
