Gunnin’ For Gold

Jerame Hugunin, from Burlington Kansas, totaled ‘95 Ram by hitting an 8-point buck on the way home from a D.J. gig. With the insurance check, Jer bought this ‘03 Hemi from his local Ford dealership. A guy had traded it in for a Lightning. All engine mods were already done: headers, cold air intake, superchips. Everything else Jer had done or he did it hisself. Right off the bat, he ordered a McGaughy's drop kit, and added custom rims. The truck still wasn’t low enough to suit him, so Jer ordered a Dodge body kit from Rumble Bee. He ditched the rear bumper and put on a roll pan, with a custom hand-made body kit pan below that to wrap the entire body kit all the way around the truck.
