Hi All,

I've now had my righthand drive converted Longhorn 2500 for about 6 weeks now and absolutely LOVE it.

I've had people stop me for photos of it as its just something that is NEVER seen in Australia.

I park it at the train station, which makes me a little nervous, but its my daily driver.

I finally gave it a good clean, and here are some photos from the weekend:

Here is an interesting photo of our old cow-barn taken about 6 inches from Ram looking at a door panel and photoing the reflection... kinda cool..

Awesome, I bet thats fun driving one of those over there

Its very cool to have a really unique head turning car. Then I show them the inside and they cannot believe how awesome it is.

Would it have been illegal if you didn't convert it to right hand drive? Awesome truck so happy for you!

Different states have different rules apparently regarding conversion, age of car and if weekend (club) use etc.

My wife and I figured a car like this does need to be configured for the safety of everyone else... imagine looking in windscreen for a drivers eyes and seeing no one.

^^^ yeah - that visual (seeing no one behind the windshield/screen) is pretty creepy.
