While most activity in the automotive universe this week is happening in New York City at the NY Auto Show, Chrysler's Mopar parts division is showing off a group of custom Jeeps and Ram pickups at the annual Easter Jeep Safari.

Looks like mopar wants to dance... if they build a selectable locker we will have some competition.

That Ram Runner is going to be a Mopar kit available for purchase later this year. I'll set the line at $15k, parts only. Anyone wanna take the over/under?

 

[frogslinger]

I will take the under.

All three vehicles are very sharp. I've never been a real fan of Dodge but I think they created to very distinct Rams. The Kaiser on the other hand is just plain sick and is the best of the bunch.

I'll take under on the Ram Runner kit also J, probably about $6K for parts.

I do like that front bumper setup on the Ram Runner. It sounds like the suspension it is running is more of a direct competitor to the Raptor XT.

In reality, you're probably right NC. I was thinking around $7.5k. But, I've lived modern Mopar for the past 6 years, and if I've learned anything, I've learned this: whatever you think something should cost, multiply it by two and you'll be close. No joke.

Thanks for the vids Kaiser. Very cool stuff.

Well the Mopar 4 inch lift for the ram costs $2459. It is not quite as involved as the new Kore designed kit, so I am going to say about 5K for parts.

Plus (of course) a new bumper, wheels tires yadda yadda yadda...

 

[BigJ]

Well lemme clarify then... I was thinking everything needed to make it a true Raptor competitor; suspension bumpers, wheels, tires, etc.
