Hello from Central Illinois

[Troop2865]

I am new here and have a new Ram 1500 Bighorn on order. I sold a 2011 Ram 2500 Laramie 4x4 with the Cummins.

I don’t tow that heavy anymore and the newer diesels with al of the pollution equipment are a pain. Turbo replaced at 80,000 due to soot build up I guess.

Anyway, excited about the new Ram. Plans are to lift it and run 35’s. I will still tow my car hauler and Willys off road Jeep with it. Should weigh in about 5000 pounds with the trailer and Jeep.

Thanks for all I have learned already from reading the forum.

The Willys is still a work in progress. Here is a photo.

Well, I am one step closer. Just checked the updated BOTS and see where my truck has been built and released from the factory. I checked but no window sticker yet. It has been almost two months since I ordered it.

I have been reading a lot of posts from the web site and have been learning a great deal. I have especially been following the suspension and wheels and tires threads.

I have already purchased a set of wheels and have been holding off for the tires and suspension parts. I want to get some measurements before purchasing the other parts.

I have owned over 60 vehicles and the new car/truck excitement never goes away.
