[@BRIANBOBCHAPMAN]

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

[@StreetSpeed717]

Thanks Bob!

[@briangarcia0078]

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

[@Heavy.hemi510]

This! LOL

[@dailydrivers450]

Yes

[@chriskolaska897]

What does welding the differential do?

[@petegjengdahl]

​@chriskolaska897 It locks all the gears together permanently. It's definitely not ideal for corners on pavement, but if it's always off-road, it shouldn't matter.

[@chriskolaska897]

@petergjengdahl2243 hmm that's interesting thx

[@sputnikalgrim]

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

[@StreetSpeed717]

Perfect combo!

[@zachstrahle5867]

I had one! This video made me miss it 😢

[@GearHead704]

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

[@fastaSSalex]

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 👍

[@StreetSpeed717]

I get lucky! But to be fair, don’t forget I paid $8,000 for that C4 that blew up on the day I bought it😂 So I don’t win every time-

[@YRG_JR]

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

[@StreetSpeed717]

My radio voice😂

[@shanewilson5248]

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

[@larrygeiger9557]

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.

[@MultiMilTown]

Good point

[@CZ-kz7ug]

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.

[@desmonthebeast]

Yep I've have my 5.9 for 10 years now love my 2nd gen

[@TaylorFirearms-4x4]

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

[@robervin9107]

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.

[@StreetSpeed717]

Thanks as always Rob!

[@justadakota1822]

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.

[@StreetSpeed717]

I gotta say… I love it!

[@justadakota1822]

@@StreetSpeed717 im glad you do i have built a couple of these and loved every bit of them if you need any advice on anything let me know.

[@nickwalston1322]

@@justadakota1822 same here, can’t go wrong with a ram regular cab

[@nickwalston1322]

Even had a Dakota with a 5.2 back in the day

[@kevinmartin7354]

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.

[@danielnormandeau2393]

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

[@BenTroxell]

My man! ❤

[@HashMaster1776]

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

[@MountainHobbler]

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!

[@sterlingarcher4957]

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.

[@tonytrumble]

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.

[@mathieuduguay825]

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 ;)

[@bladejames8208]

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.

[@ssoffshore5111]

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!

[@alexchaney9520]

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!

[@landyacht_7.317]

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

[@hiblitdrummer]

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! 🔥🔥🔥

[@RFRacing717]

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

[@tylersowa3858]

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

[@flatlanderoutdoors2549]

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

[@dbrad32]

Needs a 717 livery! Awesome Build

[@CPMUNSEY]

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.

[@timmydemattos691]

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.

[@Saint6six6]

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

[@joedirtmcgirt]

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

[@sethbroadway]

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

[@efraindonjuan8092]

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

[@hotrow69]

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

[@jonfragz5.041]

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

[@dmacthetruth22]

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

[@garrettpittman7374]

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

[@allenrodgers1908]

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.

[@mrjohnny70]

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

[@EvilDeadFan11]

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

[@johnfitzgerald5158]

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

[@F4834N]

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

[@GrgBuiltCoyote]

Call it the "Rambo"

[@The_Hi_Life]

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.

[@One_Man-No_Mission]

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.

[@sxnthwave]

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

[@Graves-81_69]

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

[@dodgeramsport]

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

[@michaelkaus6480]

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

[@cjwilson3136]

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

[@gbitsbitsg5447]

That's a bad unit baby!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@natejames5720]

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

[@mattkaydus7973]

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

[@jeffriley1500]

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

[@christopherwilliams1813]

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

[@charlesgrigson6436]

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

[@Itsjoshbo]

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

[@heynetalks]

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

[@dmayse1000]

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

[@Zankaroo]

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.

[@bigsexymuthashutyomouth2546]

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

[@BenTroxell]

Thank you! ❤

[@Jkugator16]

Some lockers and gears that thing would be unstoppable

[@aspire10068741121]

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

[@lanceripplinger8352]

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

[@patrickbowersox416]

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

[@dannotwalruslarkin9324]

I trusted a fart and accidentally shit my pants watching this. fml. I should buy something from the merch store and hopefully have better luck.

[@StreetSpeed717]

HEATER

[@jarrodsorrentino1208]

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

[@pkvolare]

NEED SOME LOCKERS !! great video

[@Deerfield5]

I apologize for leaving the paragraphs but you know what would be cool if to Cummings swap it and bigger bumpers and tint the windows if the yellow garage ain't really staying this year I hope soon we get another crazy Corvette or mustang build keep building the truck to be a crazy off-road monster

[@codyschandorff5352]

That thing would be killer with a overland setup in the bed

[@raytinelljr2778]

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

[@BlueCollar_Motorsports]

At least 347 of us saw what you did 😅 I was like hold the phone 😂

[@dailylife3975]

Disconnect the sway bars too it'll help the suspension articulate

[@trevorconroy795]

I’d definitely unhook the air bag in the steering wheel if your gonna be ramming stiff with it lol.

[@sterlingarcher4957]

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.

[@ryansnowden5751]

I have a 97 ram with a six inch lift on 35s and my tires rub bad. I'm gonna have to do that mod to cut the fender behind the wheel to get the full turn out of it.

[@hunterlord37]

First like a G, Mike I need the trx viper jump poster still 😭

[@mitchdenner9743]

What's that got leafs and coils in the rear? 🤔

[@jameswilson8982]

I was sooooo ready for that stick to break when u were leaning on it like that 😅

[@darrellclement2889]

Awesome video love the offroad content

[@haydensteiner9016]

other then the blazer, this might be the best off roading rig mike has made. the new trucks are nice but something about a beater with some bog ole tires on and cut fenders is just way better!

[@jacobmontgomery3998]

You gotta get a sxs mike, get an x3 turbo rr or a Polaris pro r. The combination of speed and off-roading you would love it. I think your reaction and building it would make great content too.

[@matthewdurkee5673]

But why pay 35k for a sxs when he gets this type of content for 1k . I don't think he has the right audience for a sxs . He already loses views doing the off road stuff . It's just tougher for him in the winter. Oh and he already has the best sxs ever in the Blazer.

[@russellhowry4137]

Epic vid. Absolutely love this.

[@Carsandcoffe]

Hey Mike, you may remember me from the toy drive on Sunday, I was the kid on the cowboy hat that was asking about the SVJ, would you be able to do one pure video of just driving the SVJ kinda like randy did with the pov drive

You will be amazed if your throw another like maybe 2grand into upgrades like steering and shocks and lockers and bumpers it will be a offroading machine.

[@edsadventures3575]

I’m actually impressed Mike!! I was kinda laughing when u were chopping it in ur driveway and saying, I can just paint it and it’s gonna look good…. Haha But it actually does!!

[@freedomfarms5960]
