VERY FUNNY @14:02 the mud hole will the ram survive

Mike if you’re just going to use it off-road, Weld the differentials!!! She will crawl everything 😅

Short wheelbase, amazing entry and exit angles. So much fun

Honestly this are probably my favorite vids. Lots of fun for cheap and can’t wait to see it against the mud hole

I dont know how mike gets lucky with these finds lol first the blazer and now the ram being hella off-road capable 😅bravo. Keep it coming man 👍

The old Ram looks SICK 🔥…..btw that little voice impression you did 14:02 was hilarious 🤣.

Excellent work Mike ,fantastic to see Steve alive and well . PA winter = truck stuff .Adds contrast too channel thankyou

Great video! Love the off-road content. Pro tip before you go through any water. Spray your electronics in your engine bay down with WD-40 it repels water.

Mike was tremendous the editing. All of it was wholesome. It had everything I love Thank you bud. Ben gets 🅰️ family togetherness for the win Absolutely hilarious love y’all enjoy the playlist.

2nd gens are great. Cheap, replacement parts available at every home depot. Would love to see a good size steel winch front bumper. 5.2s and 5.9s are awesome.

I have waited for this moment for a long time. Watching these guys see how good the 2nd gen ram really is offroad even stock except tire's was great. Mike is now a believer and its beautiful.

You should go ahead and weld the rear differential, and put a front locker in. After that your truck will literally go anywhere.

This is the best build you've done yet in my opinion. It's a real world build. I'll be paying attention to this one.

I love the feeling of constant dread driving a shit box off road. Nothing like risking becoming stranded in the middle of no where, feels great!

Everytime Mike shows his face without sunglasses an angel gets its wings 🪽

Your filming and editor guy needs a raise these are feature film quality!

I don’t even remember 4:53 happening. that’s insane 😂

I think it would look killer with the front grille and the bottom of the doors painted black. 2 minutes spray can job is all it needs ;)

I also think it would be great if Ram came out with a Gen 2 Retro Ram with all the modern interior touches of a Gen 5.

I think it'll make it with through the mud hole with at least one locker in it. It'll definitely make it with two lockers, but with open differentials in both im pretty sure you're going to need to be winched out.

Honestly being a 2nd gen guy it hurt to see a shorty cut up but it is pretty cool I will admit I think the thing that bothered me the most was seeing a clean oem fender cut up

Mike if you run across an early 2000s Dakota R/T you should scoop it up. They came with the same 5.9L Magnum V8. They were only 2wd but, weigh much less than the 1500 Ram. Take the Dakota, swap out trans for 4x4 1500 trans, run front drive shaft/axles and put a 6+ " lift on it to make a trail beast out of it.

Needs a 717 livery! Awesome Build

My first truck was a 98 gas 2500 on a 7” lift, got it for $3500 and that truck made it more places than most jeeps. The 2nd gens are cheap and capable for sure.

Mike, your driveway never looked better than with those two Ram trucks at the end! REAL hardware that REAL people in the REAL world can relate to. You took an affordable useful rig they can relate to, buy and use everyday, spent a few bucks and conquered most anything. Best upload in a long time (Ben may be making you look good?)! Very cool mods on the old girl! Add those rear window stickers to the 717Supply catalog! 🔥🔥🔥

Mike now all you have to do is put some lockers in it and the ram would be even more fun offroading. Love the videos been watching for 5 years now!

Those old Rams rock, I had a 2000 that was indestructible. I can’t believe you can fit 38” with no lift , wish I knew that when I had mine lol

The second gen Rams are some of the toughest and most capable trucks ever made imo. Where I’m from in East Tennessee you can still find many of them still on the roads and trails.

Those vintage dodges are badass! Id take them any day over a new dodge

I'm not big into this off-roading crap, but I have to say I'm really impressed with what that otherwise stock Ram was able to do! And, not even break, or breakdown!

Call it the "Rambo"

Petition for Mike to get 4:56s and lockers->

Honestly hysterical those stickers are still on the window 😂 gotta love it

Awesome, loved the 4 wheel action, takes me back to my college days!!

Dude, in case you didn't know the guy isn't supposed to wear a ring until the damn deal is done and official. Pretty sure they say it's bad luck even. Engagement rings are only for the ladies not the fellas. But, if y'all did finally tie the knot that's awesome and I'd say best wishes and congratulations

Great upload Mike, from the look of those old tires I think a leaf might of poked a hole in the tire lol.

Really trusting that stick in the mud, I was waiting for a snap!

Mike should really make that into a rock crawler some badass suspension so it can truly climb and flex

That's a bad unit baby!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

This thing is amazing. Always awesome when a truck can do things that should seem impossible.

How cool is that? It comes with easy clearance mods from factory :D Lockers seem like the next step. Looks fun to drive!

Mike I know of another C4 for around $1000. Supposedly runs and drives and has a title. And it's yellow.

need to see more videos with this thing!! Looks like an RC car and I love it

Mike, Feeling the Ram love. Put lockers in it and a winch and you'll have a shorty Power Wagon.

I challenge you to ship it to Utah or w/e and meet up with Kevin of LiteBrite and run it against The Step Child. I bet you loose, lol. Grant it him being a better driver in general and driving The Step Child for years, he knows his rig well and definitely has an advantage over you. But knowing the shit The Step Child has been through, Kevin will leave you somewhere if it doesn't have a bypass. And I don't think they have ever damaged a metal body panel, only the plastic fenders that snap back on after a rock rips them off.

That's the lil truck that could!! Lol. Love it! 😂

Reminds me of mine. I had a white 4dr 99 ram sport 4x4 with the 5.9L 360 gas motor. I had a custom 14.5in lift in the front and a 15in lift in the rear. I ran 40 x 15 in TSL super swampers that weren't radials. I drove it daily for a while. So mich fun wish I still had it sometimes.

Dude that thing is actually sick...I need that for my hunting truck....amazing how capable something could be if you had the balls to cut it like that

Mike i love the offroading vids with that ol ram please keep them going needs winch bad. Love your vids. 😊

You need to look up the ultimate adventure and see how they build their off road rigs. Fred Williams has a bunch of videos building rock crawling rigs. Just add some lockers, build yourself a tubular front bumper with a winch.

i’m not the biggest on the off-road stuff but i must say, i am fully invested in this truck.

That thing is amazing !

I need to start editing my off roading videos.... awesome content Mike. Love the old Dodge

Epic vid. Absolutely love this.

Hellcat and lockers now 🤝

Great platform! 👍

Such a classic truck to build!!

Lincoln lock the front and rear (weld the spider gears together) and send it!

Awesome just awesome!

Awesome! Can’t wait

Sweet truck love the older rams almost brings ya back to the movie twister could almost have movie theme going Mike, good job on the video buddy you’re always bringing great things that’s why I can never stop watching

Ben sure does a really good job! He brings professionalism into the production! Good job Ben!!!

Mike you have created a monster with a few cuts and different wheels!!!

This was exactly like my first truck! 😂 In highschool, I had a 99 Ram single cab 4wd with a V8. However mine was Black. It was a BEAST! I beat that truck everyday, and it took everything I threw at it.

That’s pretty sick. I’m currently building a 3/4 ton Ram into an off-road rig. It’s got the 8.0 V10 and is the same color scheme as this one: two tone blue with grey

Love it mike what a beast!

DUDE! The Dodge is awesome!!! Now I want to build one!

Weld that rear diff and then you will really have something unstoppable.

Awesome video love the offroad content

Wow! Very impressive 🤘

I went to high school in Alabama. We all had something like this and we drove them daily to school and would tear up some old logging trails on the way home lol

Bro that thing is wild and looks like so much fun.

Love Bobby representing with the Hershey Bears hat!

Pretty impressive!

That announcer voice though!!! " The Mud Hole " 🤣🤣🤣

Love the off-road and fast cars!

Love these vlogs good job old truck

NEED SOME LOCKERS !! great video

I love the content Makes me want to get into Off Roading , Thanks

Street Speed 717 Awesome Video I think it's awesome that your Ram Charger is going to get built for Off-roading and I can't wait to see it

Truck damn sure surprised me!

Insane truck, maybe some lockers and a 4 link this thing will go some nasty places.

Truck is 🔥🔥👌💪

Cool 😎 . Let’s go 😅 !

u might wanna swap out fluid on both diffs, and make sure u have long tubes for the diff and trans vents, itll make er last longer in deep mud and water

Gen 2 Rams are great. Still have my 97 Gen 2. My Gen 2 has become my daily again and my TRX sits safely in the garage so it doesn't get stolen.

Some lockers and gears that thing would be unstoppable

The camera man was excellent

Literally my favorite truck so far

Great video

I think it'll make it as long as its 4*4. Looks sick man on those 38s

Weld the diffs and take out the front sway bar

I love it my boy Mike keep up the good work real true and I love the video real true 👍

Love the content, so much that I want you around for a loooong time, do us all a favor, get a damn roll cage for that thing! At least a roll bar… cheers!

What’s up Mike! I love the truck🤙

i really like to see an RAM TRX single Cab short bed Dodge need to build one

Need to disconnect the front sway bar or take it out.

I had one. It never got stuck. All I had was newer 20” ram rims and some meaty tires mine was 5 speed

Spray paint it yellow to match everything else! lol Cheers from Detroit

Man, if you get a winch bumper, and do some ARB lockers on that thing, it will be unstoppable!
