    2000 Dodge Ram 2500 diesel - Wheel recommendation

    My 2004 has AEV wheels on now. Went from 20s that the PO put on that rode like poo to 17"s wearing 35s. Mo bettah The thing about 16" wheels is that they may not clear the brakes. You'll have to try it somehow before you buy a full set. If the OP is near DC I have a set of 17" wheels from an...

    1/2 Ton vs 3/4 Ton for Family Adventures?

    I *probably* could get by with a 1500, but there's a 600# BMW that I may need to haul and an X3 that may need towing, and etc etc etc Will I use that daily? Nope. If SHTF, I'll definitely need it so why buy twice? M

    1/2 Ton vs 3/4 Ton for Family Adventures?

    FS: Ram HD wheels. 17" 6-spoke chromed AL (stock wheels from an '06 truck)

    I've got my first set (ever!) of aftermarket wheels on the way. AEV Saltas. The 2006 17" 6-spoke stock wheels I bought to replace the 20's the PO put on the truck need to go. Set of 4 wheels with the center caps in great shape. The lug nuts that came with the wheels don't fit my truck, so the...

    Why no Ram 1500 Builds!

    RamCruiser...the build

    I did some digging and it seems that that winch can be retro-fit to my truck. Spendy, but do-able with MOPAR parts. I don't have the locking diffs or the rest. Yet. M
