It's nice, I like it. Mine is pre-refresh, so I'd put it pretty comparable to the Bighorn I had. I couldn't justify the cash to go brand new. It does have cooled seats as opposed to just heated like my bighorn had, and the rear seats are heated too which the kids like ha. I will say I find...

Thank you! I told myself years ago I'd never do another black vehicle, but they do like nice when they are clean.

I sold it :cry:. Been looking around for a decent used Ecodiesel to no prevail, so I found a pretty good deal on a low mileage 3.0 duramax. Figured I would give it a shot. I loved my ram, but with all the driving I do, I needed some mileage. Made a hockey trip this weekend to Buffalo with my...

I'm young enough to jump in the back if needed, although 25 years of ice hockey has taken it's toll, but I'm also old enough not to care what people in the Walmart parking lot think of me when I use it :LOL:

I carry that same harbor freight stool in the back of my truck. Being 5'8" with a truck that is lifted on 35's isn't the greatest combination :LOL:

Completely agree. My trailer is only ~5k pounds, but I wouldn't dream of not using a wdh. I'm also a big proponent of properly inflated tires, and traveling the speed limit (or less). Sadly, many folks don't, and they're often the ones on the side of the road with blowouts.

I agree on the bags. They're good but can only do so much. And I found that they were kinda fighting me with the camper and wdh. I went round and round trying to find the perfect combination of settings. Now I don't use the bags with the wdh unless I just need a couple pounds to firm things...

I did the same after my level, but I went with a 1.5 rear for towing my camper. Completely empty, before the rear spacer, it looked level (or maybe borderline nose high, to me anyway), but when I pulled the camper, it looked awful. I don't mind a touch of rake either.

Completely understand. And honestly with just the 4 of us, we don't really use the 3rd row much. We use it more for the cargo room (seats folded down). The only thing I really don't love about it, is with the third row up and being used, the cargo space is smaller than some car trunks ha.

I get it. She's always had two row suv's, but now our two kids are getting older, and we travel a lot for hockey, so we always have equipment. She was hesitant at first with a bigger 3 row, but we've both grown to love it. I wouldn't mind even having something larger, but for us, there just...

If you don't have to go quite fullsize, we're really liking the wife's grand cherokee L. We got the v6 because we didn't need a v8, and the gas mileage has been really decent, for a vehicle shaped like a brick. I like my truck, but if it's a longer trip, we're taking her vehicle more often...

Shouldn't have a negative affect. I have the same muffler and haven't noticed a negative. Other than I live in the salt belt and the muffler isn't holding up to the elements. Whatever is next will be something stainless.

Installed my upper control arms yesterday. Not a terribly awful job. Pretty straight forward. Ended up with about a 1/4" of clearance at full drop with 35x11.5" tires (second image). A 12.5 wide may require a small spacer, although I do have more space at ride height of course. Anyway, the...

Ordered some upper control arms. My stock ones are starting to squeak profusely. I probably should have done it when I did the level, but read it wasn't absolutely necessary. I'm starting to see that's false, especially with all the failures I've seen on facebook. Hopefully these will be...

I had them in my ranger before I got my ram. Very handy, I loved them. I may or may not have even used one as a beer cooler a time or two :LOL:
