Up for sale is a lifted 4x4 Ram Charger. I traded a buddy for this truck and now its time to say goodbye to it. Its a cool little truck but I'm not a fan of the way it is lifted or the steering.
The bad things about this truck:
The lift: its all blocks. I am not a fan. I prefer to lift with springs. The lift is fairly new and has new shocks
The motor: Throws a oil low light every now and then. Im told its prolly just a sensor, but I dont trust it.
The wheels: 16.5". Its an odd size to have to replace tires. The tires are still good but they wont be forever.
The radio: Doesnt work right. I was told it came out of a minivan. Its still a Chrysler head unit so Im sure its still junk.
The Paint: Needs a repaint to be pretty
The Drivers Door: I included pics of the problem. It needs to be rehung, but is very functional.
The good things about the truck:
The lift: Its tall. Ive had this truck through holes that swallowed trucks on 40" tires. Its great.
The motor: Its a 318. Rock solid and cheap to rebuild
The interior: Leather power seats. The rear seat tumbles forward for more space. There is a roof vent
The Transmission: Seems rock soid,. Havent had a hard shift or any slipping
The size: The interior of this truck is the size of a NYC apartment. The hatch space alone is big enough that my toddler played in just that section for most of a day with no complaints
The 4x4: You can shift on the fly with this truck with no problem.
The electrical: Seems to be solid

Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars
Fri, 05 Sep 2014There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.
40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax
Thu, 24 Jul 2014
The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.
2015 Dodge Challenger configurator has all the Hellcat you can dream of
Mon, 08 Sep 2014The 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has sucked up a lot of air in the automotive news world this summer, so it's good to know that you can actually go out and, you know, buy the sucker. With 2015 models headed for your local showroom, Dodge has seen fit to also pull the wraps off it's latest Challenger configurator, complete with the supercharged Hemi V8 option that we just can't seem to get enough of.
We're still enamored of the $58,995 starting price for the 707-horsepower SRT, but the online tool finally gives us a chance to see just how optioned up our dream super-muscle coupe can get.
Buyers can choose from three interior treatments and nine paint colors, with two hues (Ivory White and Phantom Black tri-coats) coming for a $500 premium. For $1,795 Laguna Leather SRT bucket seats can be added in place of the (very nice) stock chairs, and a fancier infotaiment system with navigation and HD radio runs $695.
