    Ah sorry about that, I still have the Tundra. I sometimes use it for heavy hauling or just blowin the doors off of Dodge Hemi's, Chevy and Ford diesels and an occasional BMW.

    The lift in my garage is a 4 post storage unit with a 8000 lb capacity. It is currently home for the 09 Challanger occupying the top bunk and a Prius below it which is a daily driver for my gf. Next to that sits the Tacoma and on the other end is the Tundra. All this in a 3 car garage.

    None currently, but I would like a better sounding exhaust and perhaps a cold air pack and some color coded step bars
    Sunrunner, I love it, a man after my own heart! Great workshop.
    I presume the Charger has a Hemi? if so does it have the "grunt" of the much older 426's? I believe your hemi has about 380 ci?

    The Challenger has the 5.7L with 6 speed. It has one helluva sweet exhaust noise which you can hear inside the car. Being the only one of its kind in my area, it gets lots of gawks, stares and an occasional flash from some girls as I drive by. The Challenger has been on the lift since Nov of 08 and will remain on there until April or May when it gets a good run to Cape Cod. It will also remain unmodified as long as I own it.


    At the moment, my other muscle car, the 08 supercharged Tundra is enjoying a good winter with plenty of snow, and getting chased by State Troopers here who love busting my balls.

    Just a suggestion but you might wanna put a snow plow on the front of your truck. lol

    I saw a young kid in an old Nissan Sentra try this with the same results. All 4 wheels totally off the ground and stuck on a 3 foot high snow pile that was about 15 feet in diameter. lol He started sinking into it but will no wheel contact wasn't getting out. So after laughing at him for a spell, a few of us dug him out with the old shovel. lol
