4x4
Fully built custom Dodge Diesel, used as my daily driver and off road rig for the last 4 years. The modifications to this truck run in the $15,000 range. Considering a Ford Raptor? Take a look at this truck, more torque, more travel, trussed axel, it will take more punishment than the Ford. This was built for me to run expeditions and I have, including the entire Oregon Backcountry Discovery Route. If you are in need of a race chase truck this will serve you well, you can get through the woops, crawl up the hills, and then drive the freeway home. Look at the other 2500’s on Ebay they either have 150,000 miles on them or have a lift that is junk. Also I should point out that this truck has never towed anything! Talk about not taxing a diesel truck. Also no mudding so if you have to service anything no piles of old mud will fall in your face. I had jeeps back in the day and hated when I would have to do something and it was all caked in mud.
The truck has low miles and no mechanical issues. This means it has no leaks, of any kind, all the electronics work as they should. The AC blows cold and the heat blows hot. If you have any questions at all I encourage you to please contact me prior to the close of the auction. Both batteries were replaced within the last 12 months. At the same time the crossover cable that connects the two batteries was replaced. The only time this truck has ever let me down was when the fuel pump went out in 2007. This was a design failure from Dodge and it was replaced under warranty. The fuel pump is no longer mounted in the tank as they were on the 2004.5's it is now located in the same place as the 2005 version. Also it is worth pointing out this is a California truck meaning no salt from the roads so no rust in the truck.
The 6" lift clears 37" tires as you can see in the pictures with ease but is not circus tall. This makes it very drivable on road and off without feeling like you will flip the truck every time you take a corner. This truck has long travel deaver rear springs and progressive rate from springs. No blocks here with stock springs and a harsh ride. At the same time the steering is perfect. Please do your homework when looking at a lifted truck if they have just slammed some cheap lift on there and big tires you will most likely end up with death wobble. You can find this in jeeps and trucks and let me assure you that this truck does not. I know because I have upgraded every component that can cause it and made sure that issue is not going to happen here. I will be happy to go out and hit potholes with you in the truck to prove that it won't happen. I also can take the truck up past 100mph and show you that you can confidently drive it down the freeway at that speed.

Leno recalls '90s showdown with Tim Allen and his mullet
Wed, Oct 7 2015Not many of us have buddies with garages full of classic cars, but that isn't the case for Jay Leno and Tim Allen. Of course, one of the advantages for two guys with such vast collections is occasionally getting to pit their cars against each other. The two comedians did just that in the mid-'90s with a burnout battle on The Tonight Show between Allen in a race-prepped Mustang and Leno in a drag racer. After some time away from regular television, Leno is returning to the airwaves with a Jay Leno's Garage series premiering on Oct. 7 (tonight) at 10:00 p.m. ET on CNBC. Let this clip serve as another taste of what to expect for the new TV show's mix of comedy and cars. After reminiscing about the old days in a gorgeous garage, the comedians get into two modern machines to reprise the classic challenge – after a little trash talk anyway. Don't worry because the YouTube series isn't going anywhere, though.
Mopar maneuvers into SEMA with a multitude of modified models
Wed, 05 Nov 2014As the aftermarket and performance arm of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Mopar has a duty to extract everything from the company's models that it can, and there's no better place to show all of its work off than the annual SEMA Show.
Dodge really gets in on the act this year with several customs to show off different parts of the brand's performance heritage. Perhaps the most interesting among them is the track-prepped Viper ACR Concept (pictured above). It wears a custom body kit to produce even more downforce, thanks in no small part to a monstrous wing at the back. To shed weight, most of the interior is stripped out, as well. Next up, the Challenger T/A Concept takes inspiration from '70s Trans-Am racing in a livery of Sublime Green and matte black paint. The center scoop in the hood keeps the 6.4-liter V8 fed with cool air, and the special's 20-by-9.5-inch matte black wheels keep it planted in the corners.
Also getting the once-over from Mopar is the Charger R/T. It wears the division's body kit, and under the hood, a cold-air intake keeps the 5.7-liter V8 breathing. The suspension is retooled to hold the road better with a coil-over kit, upgraded sway bars and strut tower braces for the front and rear. The company is also showing off a snazzy blue Charger with a mean look. The final Dodge getting work from Mopar is the Dart R/T Concept with bright, O-So-Orange paint and a matte black hood with a scoop hooked directly to the air intake. The performance-oriented design is finished off with a coil-over suspension and big brake kit, as well.
2014 Dodge Durango
Wed, 25 Sep 2013Say what you want about the Dodge Durango, but ever since it came on the scene in 1998, it has occupied its own niche in the SUV market - not too small, not too big, tough, able, not always the best on the road and not always the best off-road. If it were a football player, it would be a tight-end that can block and catch. If it were a hamburger - a double burger with cheese and bacon, but not the Whopper.
As part of a mid-cycle upgrade for what was already a very capable SUV that Chrysler introduced in 2011, and built on the same platform as the Mercedes GL-Class and Jeep Grand Cherokee, the 2014 Durango has gotten some refinements worth noting that have cleaned up its tailoring and toned up its body and powerplant. The result is an SUV that shows itself to be a very good value in a category full of sticker prices that can run away faster than a kid who's been told he has to take ballroom dancing lessons.
Chrysler executives showing us the new Durango made a special point to reiterate that the Dodge brand is not going away, as has been rumored after the company took the Ram and Viper - the cream of the brand - out from under the Dodge umbrella. Turns out Dodge has been the brand attracting the most young people (who knew?) and has a younger average age buyer than Honda. The Dodge brand historically has also attracted buyers who aren't exactly Phi-Beta Cappa, which some companies worry about. Chrysler not so much. Dodge buyers tend to be more the working, high-school-educated, community-college-educated backbone of the work force in America. If they keep coming to Dodge, the Durango is a pretty good piece of hardware to save up for.
