It has been 21 years since the 2005 movie was released. Like many here, I followed the production avidly in 2004-2005. At the time I was a freshman in college. Today I'm 40 years old. LOL I've always had mixed feelings about the movie. While it might have some entertainment value as a movie by itself, it isn't the movie that the Dukes fanbase had hoped for.

Ben Jones passed away today August 9, 2026. It’s a sad day for Dukes Of Hazzard fans and Ben’s family. My prayers are with Ben and his family.

I grew up watching the Duke boys and my son absolutely loved it. He wore the cowboy boots and white sleeveless t-shirts. We got to meet him in I think 98, in Virginia. What a great man.

I heard about it a little while ago…unbelievably devastating! Ben was probably the biggest advocate for the show, Duke Fests, events, and keeping the DOH spirit alive. It will never be the same, and I worry how long it will continue, without Ben.

Dang it! I overpaid by 29c.

Anyone here have any ideas where to find the sound assembly and roll bar for my 1982 General lee pedal car? Thanks everyone!

I'm afraid I can't help much. I'm not even sure if they were sold over here. I did find a 2012 article on the Dukes of Hazzard Collector blog where someone restored one of these pedal cars. As far as I can see, he just fixed the steering, cleaned it up and got someone to recreate the decals. There's no mention of a sound module. Maybe you can find someone selling a trashed car with a working module. I did find one seller on eBay asking $5,000 for a car "in working condition and in good shape for being 43 yrs old.". As far as I can tell, that's with fading decals and without a box! BTW. Had anyone at Coleco ever seen a '69 Dodge Charger? I understand that making an open pedal car isn't going to produce an exact replica, but the front looks more like a '69 Pontiac GTO, there's a spoiler on the trunk and the wheels are completely wrong. At least their 1984 KITT looks like a Trans Am.

you got me on that one bud but maybe some of the Brainiacs in here ( like Hoss or Roger) will know. If not, I'd suggest Google it.

Hoss, that is excellent!

HossC... Thanks! 😀 I checked it out back to back. I like Luke's version better.

Here's the original and Tom's version to compare and contrast.

Yes, that's them!

Ben's wife Alma has announced that Ben passed away of a heart attack today. There was no greater advocate for the show than Ben. He kept the spirit alive all these years with fan events and Cooter's Place. This is devastating. Feel free to share any experiences meeting Ben, kind words, favorite Cooter moments on the show, etc.

Hi there everyone, with the loss of Ben Jones (Cooter) in these past few hours.. it’s set me to thinking. What about our dreams? Cooter followed his, not only achieving a solid career in US congress. But also opening up the Cooter’s Place museums, HazzardRun car shows, etc. So that leads me to my question, what’s your dream in life? We’re all given a short amount of time on this earth. And I reckon we should put it to good use. Feel free to share your thoughts and ideas! - Tom

Still can’t believe it Meadowmufn, doesn’t seem right you know? It’s 2:22am, as of the time of writing this. The bar here in town is closed, but when I’m able I’ll be stopping by my local Boars Nest in memory of Cooter. World is a lot sadder place to live in at the moment...

Can’t believe he’s gone y’all. I heard the news today like many of us, and it hurts so bad. He was just this loving, kind and gentle soul. The very embodiment of what it means to be a Good Ol Boy. R.I.P to an absolute legend! - Tom Duke (Ontario, Canada)

Just heard the sad news, a few hours ago. From my oldest brother, who him, and my other 2 brothers, gave me my nickname years ago. Cooter! Cuz i tinkered with anything car related. From probably 4 years old . From hotwheels to hubcaps and old vehicles. Im 42 now. Nickname means more to me now. As Cooter/Ben Jones, always went out of his way, to help those in need.I live by that rule also.We were raised that way. The RIGHT,and HONEST way. Respect for your elders, treat others the way , you would want to be treated….and be a decent human being……. We did lose a legend. But as the ol sayin goes…legends never die! Say hi to uncle Jesse and the others for me that we lost. Enjoy a peaceful rest Ben Jones. “I might be crazy, but i aint dumb….,Crazy Cooter comin atcha!” Its not goodbye, its so long. We’ll meet again on the other side.

One of my favorite episodes!

You got it. Mr. Haney is Sam the bartender in Season 2 Episode 1 (14) Days of Shine and Roses. 😀

I’m not totally sure…but, actor Pat Buttram made appearances on both Green Acres & Dukes of Hazzard. Both GA & DOH aired on CBS, and both were set in “fictional” farming/small town locations: GA in Hooterville, and DOH in Hazzard County, Georgia.

We used to have a Western Auto when I was little.

Happy DOHD everybody! I hope people will hangout periodically through the night and keep the party going. I'm not sure what episodes I'm going to watch tonight but probably it will be the 1st yr. I'll pull them in here ( my computer room ) watch them while on the computer, after I see the news and some other shows that come on at this time and then.............IT'S FULL ON HAZZARD COUNTY!!! ( along with my Natural Ice ......America's biggest selling Ice Beer!).....aaaand maybe a few snacks! Well my fellow Hazzardites....I was hoping to see a few more Hazzard citizens in here just before watching an episode. I thought it would be nice if sometime on DOHD, we could ALL be here at the same time and watch an episode or two!.....I'll check back a little later before I start watching .... I also wanted to say, that my wife wasn't feeling good, so I picked her up early and she's off the rest of the weekend, so I don't have to worry about getting up early tomorrow or Sunday! So the Dukes and the fun begins a lot earlier!! YEEE HAAA!

Just got back from a 3 day trip to the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. Looks like things are pretty slow around here. Looks like we need another Moonshine 400!

It's been discussed a lot on this forum. I too was looking forward to its release, but didn't get to see it immediately. By the time I did, I'd read the reviews. I have it on DVD to complete my collection, but I only paid €0.25 (about $0.29) for it and it hasn't been out of the box for a long time.

No idea.....but welcome to the HazzardNet.

I still think Ferraris, over all, are faster than McLaren's !!

I'm drinking Natural Ice and watching Swamp Molly....what are you guys watching? Right NOW...I'm watching Deputy Dukes! Anybody watching TDOH ??

OK fellow Hazzardites! It's that time of week again, Friday! That means it's the International holiday, Dukes Of Hazzard Day! ( DOHD) Right now, I'm watching the news and drinking my first can of brew ( Milwaukee's Best Ice) and preparing to watch DOH tonight, which everyone on the planet should do on Friday nights! My wife said she's off Sat. and Sun. and that means I don't have to get up early and take her to work and so, I'm free all weekend! PLUS .....she says she's going to fix me a pizza for supper later on, so, Pizza, Friday night, DOH, day off tomorrow, and a pack of Cold ones....it doesn't get any better than this! What's everybody else doing tonight? HAPPY DOHD!!

The Ferraris looked fastest in practice for the Hungarian Grand Prix at the weekend, but it was World Champion Lando Norris who took pole in his McLaren. Both Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari) and Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes) got 3-place grid penalties for separate incidents in qualifying. Off the line, Lando initially got a perfect getaway, but went wide a few corners in and lost the lead to his team mate Oscar Piastri. Both Ferraris also got good starts as did Max Verstappen. These five then swapped positions a bit though different pit strategies, and Lando managed to take back the lead from Oscar. Sadly for Oscar, his gearbox failed on lap 56 (of 70) and he had to retire from second place. At the flag, Lando took his first win of the year followed by Max. Kimi recovered well to take third, and after Lewis managed to pick up a pit lane speeding penalty, he was demoted to fifth behind Charles Leclerc. That's still four different teams in the top four places. You can see the highlights here. Kimi has now extended his lead to 50 points over Lewis, which is two race wins. F1 now takes its annual 4-week break, during which time the factories have to shut for two weeks to give their globe-trotting staff a break. One bit of extra F1 news today: if there's still war in the Middle East at the end of the season, the finale will be held in Europe.

Wow !!!! Such fantastic attention to detail.

Thanks for giving me a place to, Rog, I am very grateful! Also grateful to have finished this beast in record time... Re-chromed the bent bumpers and other parts with Alclad, and was lucky to have located the proper wheel hubs. Also broke the right door handle to match the real thing. Wide tires from the MPC Sheriff's Dodge Monaco. Windows tinted with Future floor polish and food coloring. Sheet metal for the front and back from a disposable roasting pan from the Dollar Tree. Airbrushing dust and dirt all over the chassis and bottom of the body.

I waited to watch the 2005 movie until I could stream it free somewhere. I got out of it exactly what I paid for it.... nothin'.

You're right. I've just looked at the prices people are asking for rare 1:18 Dukes diecast models.

He can ask 5 grand for it but good luck selling it for anywhere near that. We've been selling antique furniture from our parents estate. It has been a real eye opener. Prices on the internet do not represent the real world.

Ducati is now making dirt bikes. And (Hoss might be interested in this) Triumph is too.
