Nice man, what did you pay if you dont mind me asking? I head the fuel economy was horrible on them.

I am looking for something like this for my wife to drive, but thats still reliable and effecient enough to take road trips in. At 18-20mpg and 32 gallons to fill, the Ram gets awful expensive on road trips LOL.

It needs a few things though...

HID's, KC light bar on the front, smaller wheels with beefier tires.

pretty sure she is averaging about 20 mpg... one car mag rated them as 19 city, 19 highway... you can get better highway mileage if you change to manual hubs in the front and disable the torque on demand (free mod and switchable)

I paid $5800... I got a steal on it though - its probably worth 8k...

Just got back from St. Louis where my brother picked one up... His is a '99 in Astral Silver (a lighter silver than mine) with red and black interior...

Basically, he saw the one I was getting, thought he might want one, then drove/rode/researched them more and less than a week later, he has one...

Don't forget the underhood shots. Not everyday you get to see a Honda engine mounted in the proper fashion.
