I always loved Dodge trucks. Ever since I had my 89 Ramcharger, from that point on I was a “Dodge” guy.
When I came across this 2002 Dodge Ram 2500 with the 5.9 Cummins in 2008 with 86K on the odometer, it was on a Nissan used car lot in Boise, ID. At the time I was driving a Dakota Quad cab and still owed a chunk on it. When I saw how clean this truck was, I knew I had to have it. I gave them the Dakota and a fairly large chunk of cash to get it. Here are some pictures from when I first brought the truck home in Boise.
In 2010, I ended up needing to come back to Washington state for work (which I did NOT want to do). I was running low on funds (long story) and I had every intention of coming back to Boise once I had put some money away. I sold my 2005 Harley and bought a 10 foot camper for my truck. I put everything else I owned into a storage shed in Boise.
I ran the truck/camper combination for many years and loved it! I always had my “house” with me no matter where I went. I could park in a regular parking spot which enabled me to visit friends and family all over the state. It also came in handy if I was at a BBQ or party and had a bit too much “spirits” : ) Here’s some of the many pictures I took of the truck and camper on many adventures. It was still my favorite combination to have on this truck.
I also wanted to update some of the styling, so I added all new LED headlights, tail lights, fog lights and 3rd brake light. I also painted the honeycomb in the grill gloss black. I think the changes while subtle, all really helped with the overall look of the truck.
