Yup, so many little things that can render your vehicle “illegal”. Hawaii has bumper height, wheel extrusion, varying tint laws for different vehicles such as, you can black out back windows on a full size SUV, but compact SUV’s require 35% all around, undercarriage lighting, etc., etc, etc, And, if you even just changed your exhaust tips, you technically required to get a RECON sticker…ludicrous. Oahu county uses a RECON inspection law, mainly to charge your a** more for the stupid s**t we just done to our vehicle. That’s why you make nice nice with the inspection guys. Or call an uncle who got the inside scoops…😉
And your cuz will get you through. What's crazy, there is only the one under the freeway off Kapahulu. So where all the lifted trucks are is in the country, Waimanalo, North Shore, and Makaha, they have to drive all the way into town were all the tesla's suv's and Lexus's are. Where you can get a safety check at almost any gas station. Laters

I honestly don’t know I haven’t had any dynontuning done , however in a week or so I’m installing my whipple super charger 650cc injectors and kenne belle add a pump after that I’m going to have it on the dyno
I'm so jealous, I've always wanted to add a supercharger. I almost pulled the trigger on my previous 2018 Colorado but It really didn't make a substantial amount of power for a $5000 price tag. Someday in the future I may do this to my ram

Damn that sounds like fun! Also where did you get that gauge pod?

That's a small injector for boost

Installed tonneau cover, bed rug mat and Mopar corner bed step
, torqued her down somewhere between 3 and 4 grunts.

Horrible photo attached.

Also did a full detail. I've washed this truck more times in a month than I washed my Chevy in 3 years.

3 or 4 grunts sounds about right when I was using a torque wrench

Not sure, I haven’t gotten off the 35 MPH city streets yet but not noticeable at low speed. Definitely a little rougher ride from the Dueler’s, but that was expected. Website has 33 x 12.5 R 20 LT listed as available.

Much better than my friend who did not understand what it meant when the torque wrench "clicked".
Yeah only my inch pound wrench clicks.
My foot pound wrench is a old starret from the 1940s. Just a dial indicator on it. Real pain to use since you have to actually watch the gauge.

To add confusion, I have a digital snap-on that vibrates when torque is reached. I can’t stand it.

Moved my sisters RV 30 feet forward.. truck didn’t struggle to move it but it’s a heavy pig with a ton on tongue weight. It’s riding on bump stops pretty much. Uncle was out of town so I couldn’t use his 2500.

man I’m not too sure. I’m trying to figure it out right now. I think the gross weight on the TT is about 10k when fully loaded so at 12.5% tongue estimate that is about 1200 pounds.
