Ok hot shot. What is your trade again?

Im only responding because i think i worded it wrong. I didnt mean "i know more than you", i meant "i probably know things you dont". Not one person knows everything. I wasent taking a jab at you.

Good lord, you are just a crotchety old man arnt ya? Ive given you many outs to stop acting like a child but you continue to make a fool of yourself.

I offeneded you, i didnt mean to and said as such but your insistent need to continue this rediculous pouting is showing how insecure you are. Im trying to help you here when i say you should just move on and the next time you get offended about something, before replying, just take a deep breath and count to ten.

Theres a big difference between correcting someone and acting a fool.

I'd pass on that. That's a loft of lift kit and tires, and I know my wife and kids would hate having to climb in and out of it. Not to mention the extra wear, road-walking, etc. with that setup. Having 5% tint all the way around is also illegal in most states. No thanks.

Like unions or not most people who have a trade benefits from them in one way or another . Get rid of them and watch what happens to prevailing wage . When Prevailing wages drop so will most other's wages drop along with it unless you are already making nothing . Keep up the " right to work state" BS (union busting ) and watch nonunion wage's drop like a rock when the union members are not here to negotiate increases in prevailing wage . Sorry to get off topic but thats just something else to think about .

wrong the economy will write what people wages are. In the non union side if the company is good and has lots of work it will pay employees to get the work done. only when the economy crashes is when people get laid off and it resets. Union people will cry and go on strike because they do not get their raise during a recession which hurts the economy more. Union wage is why it cost 2.5 million to build a bridge over a ditch. people should be paid what they are worth and if they're not then the need to find another company. I have always made top dollar in the non union side because i work my ass off and make myself worth the money.

I kinda mentioned this in another post about my accident i had but i figured it diserved its own thread.

2016 Ram 2500 6.4 mega cab 12" lift 25k miles all for the price of $41k

View attachment 181567

As for the tires themselves, they have a bit of cracking. Maybe from age or poor storage idk.

Windows seems like 5% tint all around. I was sitting in it and my wife didnt know where i was lol

As of right now, i have a quad cab. My kids are growing and i can feel it in my back. Might have something to do with their knees but not sure.

What do you guys think of the price vs what i would be getting?

Right now i have a 12 ram 1500 sport 145k miles


Like others have said stay away from buying a modded truck to many headaches could come with it. i like to buy a stock truck and add stuff to make it mine.

Talent cost money what can I tell ya . Get rid of unions and see what top dollar becomes when you have people entering the country by the thousands daily who will do your job for a lot less than top dollar. Good luck with that . I've been retired and living good . Hope you can do the same some day and I have worked both sides so I understand your thought process as I felt that way once too.

Granted its pretty new and low miles. But I bought a prelifted Silverado once and had to redo the rear end twice in like 6 months of owning it. Spent like 1500 repairing it then sold it. So I'd check who lifted it.

Just got out of a lifted Jeep to get back into something comfortable and quite honestly.. back into something that just wasn't a pain in the ass in every way. Loved the Jeep for sure but it was a love / hate relationship. Happy to be back in something that sits,drives,handles, stops and accelerates like it should. I put 4:88s in the Jeep to feel a normal acceleration again and that's one thing to consider..what gearing does it have? But hey, I get it.. The heart wants what the heart wants!

On a side note, I think it's a little high on the price side

edit.. Just saw you're passing. I skipped past all the yammering and totally missed it. And BTW.. I know more than all of you! I'm king of the ******** world muwahahaha

That thing looks like the circus came to town.

I’d tell the kids to keep their damn knees to them selves.

It’s going to get real old climbing in and out of that thing. And it going to be real EXPENSIVE.

But you do whatever makes you happy

Yep
