Converted from Chevrolet (pickups, a few Corvettes) to Mopar in 2000 when I bought a 2000 Black/Black Viper RT/10 and later that year bought a 2000 Black CPO Durango R/T...but in August 2007 I bought a huge ring and an even bigger house, and sold the Viper and later on sold the Durango - back to Chevrolet (Tahoe, Suburban, Escalade, Silverado)...but today I have good news...

I AM BACK BABY!!! (and apparently just in time to order a Hellcat!)

It took 9 weeks for my truck to arrive, and after some necessary additions (that really should have been available from Dodge), I present to you my 2014 Black/Black RAM 1500 Crew Cab Sport 4x4...

SRT Viper Reps

Close, but they are actually 22"x10" SRT10 pickup replicas - machined/black...with 305/45 R22 Yokohama Prada Spec X tires...one full inch wider than the stocker tires that came on the truck.

Looks beautiful!!! Congratulations on the purchase and changes.
Although, I have always been a GM guy myself, love those 'Vettes and F-bodies. BUT have dound myself on the Chrysler campsite too.. Viper and all th SRT toys.
Did you have to do many changes to fit the tires?? They look amazing in the truck. Always felt the stocks looked too narrow too.

That is a magnet with my company logo and name on it...there is one on each door and one on the tailgate - This is my company truck, and it is required to be on my truck when I enter petrochemical plants.

The tires are Yokohama Prada Spec X 305/45 R22 - they are almost the exact same "diameter - 33 inch" as the stockers (275/60 R20), so there would be no effect on an analog speedometer...but they are an entire inch wider and fit perfectly...the 2004 - 2006 RAM SRT10's came with the same size wheels that I am running (22"x10") and 305/40 R22...which is why I was confident they would fit on my RAM...

Mmmmm....hellcat. Definitely something to consider in a year or two. It MIGHT just pull me from a C7 or C6 Z06.

Maybe. Hard to replace a vette for performance and fun.
