and yes it was a real R/T, it had chrome, and I loved it.

I'll spare you the after picture?

I agree, DC should have done more with the R/T, I mean 5 hp really?

y'all wouldn't be talking so much smack if it had shelby specs. but probably still I'd?

Is it so wrong to have a little "D" pride?
 
We always talk smack?LOL
D Pride is Good?ALL D PRIDE!!

This is my S-L-U-T. There are many like her but this D is mine. My D is my best friend. She's my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my D is useless. Without my D I'm useless. I must drive my D true. I must drive farther than my enemy, who's trying to outdrive me. I must outmod him before he outmods me. Before God I swear this creed: my D and myself are defenders of the DOC, we're the masters of our enemy, we're the saviors of my Club. So be it, until there's no enemy, but D peace. Amen.

lmao, I'm useless without my jeep. Now I can't even pop curbs in my "D". :doh:
 
Why would you want to pop curbs? Unless it was by accident. My D is a daily driver and it gets me and my ever expanding family around in comfort and style. Besides, it's got the driver selectable 4X4 option and in snow storms, it leaves all others in its wake. :mrgreen:

You never cut through a parking lot to avoid a long light, only to be foiled by a curb divider? I live in the city, concrete and curbs EVERYWHERE. I could still get up on the curb, just don't want to scratch the new pertty red bumper. Sorry, still a new concept to me. damnit, I should have lifted it.
 
hey panama,here's my "curb jumper" and my plain ol "sl(u)t" as you say.'98 slt,as Indy said all chrome baby AND it'll walk all over my '01 'rango R/T. :p

No problems popping curbs with my D before I lowered it. 32's and a 2" lift and I never worried about going over anything. My SLT may be slow to you R/T guys, but it don't matter to me much. It sounds great and looks even better. I've been wheeling with it and dragged rocks from the woods behind my house. It tows my 27' TT with ease and comfort.

Glad you got pride. We 5.9 guys rank on the 4.7's? You know, the ones with the little motor? (J/K)

BTW, My first outing with my TJ Rubicon ended with a bent Tranny "skid" plate and a crushed oil pan. My D would have suffered less damage?

nice articulation in the 2nd pic Dwayne! :)
 
I was actually glad I found an SLT+ instead of an R/T when I bought my 2001. It has the 5.9L and 4x4, none of that stinkin' all wheel drive. Aside from the 17" wheels, my '01 is identical to an R/T.

you call that flex?? I figure you all are Chrysler fans, maybe you wanna see some jeeps?

for the record, I didn't create this thread. Seems to be some crafty modderhating going on :?
 
I'd love to be able to do to my D what Jeep owners do to their rigs. However, as Dodge is the red headed step-child of the performance industry, parts or kits aren't readily available, and I can't do that kind of work in my garage any more. Cost would be prohibitive for the most part. I'd love a nice 4-link front end with coils and solid axle for some real articulation. Wish in one hand and spit in the other, see which fills up first.
 
Okay, okay. We're all here to have fun and be amongst D enthusiasts. We're not here to see who's got what and what his/her ride can do. As you can see, we're very passionate about our Ds, red. As I'm sure you're passionate about your Jeep. You gotta expect some ribbing and such. I'm sure you came on here to learn more about your D and what can be done to mod it or just keep it running for as long as you want. Let's just agree to disagree about certain things and be good forum mates here. :D

As for me, I DO live in the City, red. Maybe ya heard of it? New York City?LOL. And I can assure you there are many places here that have concrete, curbs and an occasional pot hole or two. But why look to put undue stress on my D by popping curbs or dividers? Maybe it's just me but I like things to go smoothly. :mrgreen:

Hey Dwayne, I thought your rear axle broke but it was just articulation. Nice! :clap:

us cherokee guys get ragged on hard by the wrangler guys. funny part is I can litterally drive over their rigs (big foot style).

HA both mine are grocery getters.
