The Batram Build
| If you've been browsing this website, you may have noticed that I have a taste for that stealth appearance. Like my other vehicles, past and present, the SRT/10 was going to be no different but this time it would have a certain "theme" to it. I decided then and there to rename my Ram, "The Batram". Out of all the vehicles I have been lucky enough to own, this truck is by far the closest thing I have come or seen to being something of which you could almost see being in an actual Batman movie. I like the Batman movies, especially the Keaton era but like most males, I'm more interested in the Batmobile. The Batmobile's mysterious theme & stealth style is what led me to like stealth vehicles at an early age. The Ram received the following mods to turn it into what I call - THE BATRAM. |

| The voice function can be disabled using one of the several custom switches inside the cab. If I park somewhere and there's a big crowd and I don't want any unnecessary attention, I simply turn the voice system off. The Batram alarms itself as usual, quietly, no chirps or voices just 1 or 2 flashes of the indicator lights.
