Out of the garage under its own power for the first time. Drove it to the Alignment shop this morning, once its back I have a few loose ends to tie up, but it felt good to drive it, thats for sure:

What is it? It is a 2000 Dodge Ramcharger, a model that was built by Dodge of Mexico for the Mexican market only. Front sheetmetal is standard 2nd gen Ram, as is the frame albeit shortened. They were only available as 2WD based off the 1500 Ram chassis and equipped with either the 5.2 or 5.9 V-8s. The rear 1/4 panels, floor, roof windows and tail lights are all model specific, but it does actually use a Caravan rear hatch. I have converted mine into a 2500 using a complete 2001 Ram 24V H.O. CTD/6 speed donor. It is now a 2500 with the entire front and rear suspensions being swapped over, as well is the 03 and up larger brake rotors swapped on at the same time. The motor has an Edge EZ, 4" Turbo back exhaust, and 275 HP Marine injectors, plenty of nut to pull my boat or off road toys.

I love it. It's so weird and cool. Bravo on completing a really neat project. I bet you get a lot of looks in that thing.....

Wow I looked at the picture and said a Ram Truck with the A$$ end of a minivan.... then read the description... yep

Kickass! Did you convert to 4x4 as well?

I thought it was some kind of 2 door Durango.

get the F out! . . . that is bad ASS! How the heck did you find one? Did many make it up here? Man thats just to friggin cool, I dream often about building my own new Bronco using a new full size F150 as a starting point.

There are a handful of 90s Broncos out there that guys have swapped 7.3L PSDs into.
Personally, I think this Ramcharger or above would be awesome.

I've had 2 two-door Chevy Tahoes. I'd love to had one that was a modern oil burner. (Not the pissant GM 6.5L.)

I just bought a loaded one owner black and tan 94 Eddie Bauer with fifty some thousand original miles and zero rust. Always wanted a low mileage all original truck and paid a premium for it but what sucks is now that i have it i dont wanna drive it lol. It just sits in the garage and gets rubbed with a micro fiber once in a while :picard1:

heres a pic of the 94 parked next to my 93 the day i went and looked at it (bought it really lol) . . . . well the gf said buy a newer truck lol. The red one is the 95 i bought to drive, nice clean truck with fresh power and a four inch lift. I may do a diesel conversion if it ever needs one but it will be a 4BT Cummins. (I got rid of that stupid tube grill and went back to a chrome oem :cool:)

I am absolutely infatuated by this Ram Charger . . . . some day . . . . some day i will build my new Bronco

LOL I remember the old ramcharger tv commercials... "Ramcharger four wheel drive, its got a cooler inside!"
