What did you do to your Ram today???

[silverWS6]

I've become the very thing I swore to destroy... I got a steering wheel cover feels real good tho and I like the way it looks/matches. Kinda reminds me of the Momo steering wheel I had on my Trans Am. Also trying to convince myself that I should buy a new wheel lol the "leather" on my current wheel went to ****.



Also wired up my grill lights to the Auxbeam switch panel. I got over them being on all the time so now I have the option to turn on the grill marker lights or the amber on my fog lights.

Wow, a CD player, I thought I was seeing things.

Wow, a CD player, I thought I was seeing things.

I believe 2019 was the last year that you could get the CD option.

I have one on my truck as well.

I miss my CD player.

Used my Ram today to pick up a SMOKIN‘ deal on a set of Yokohama IceGuard G075 275/55R20 winter tires. 14/32’s new. These were used for about 300 kms. Still registered 14/32‘S. Got the 4 of them off marketplace for $650 (CAD) cash ($465 USD). Winning!

Dang bro!

I am still on the hunt for a set for my truck. I am presently running 4 seasons winter rated tires, but I feel like I'd feel better running dedicated winters.

Issue is that I just outfitted my wife’s car with a brand new set so I'm having to shop a little more carefully for mine.

One of those things that makes my truck extra rare for resale value!

I was pricing out new tires. Mucho dinero! I used to run Hakkapeliitta R3’s but they’re like $1800 OTD now. I started looking at Marketplace and found these Yokohama’s. We’ll see how they run. I’m usually not a cheapo but I have to buy new Michelin Defender’s in the spring and they’re going to set me back over $2000. I won’t compromise or buy anything else. I still have good tread on the current ones, but went through some rain on the highway and could feel them break loose a bit. New ones? Zero hydroplaning first three years. Might still sell those for $400 to offset the cost of new.

Something like this would be a simple fix and would probably boost your mpg back up a bit.

Wind Deflector for Roof Top Tents | iKamper

Notice a difference in noise reduction and fuel efficiency, This sleek wind deflector is also beautifully designed. Compatible with all iKamper roof top tents.

oh yeah the guy who sold me the GFC had a wind deflector on his roof and asked me if i wanted it.

I said it's okay lol i'm keeping the roofline clear. That was BEFORE i set out. i should've taken it LOL

I think there’s a lesson in there somewhere! LOL

So today I had a late start; I tried to sleep in but I guess I'm just used to my not-so-comfortable-overly-too-soft bed and tall pillow at home that the firmer mattress and short pillow prevented it from happening.

Passed by the waterfall; I'd stop by if I had my offroad stuff but I took out everything to save weight for the trip lol

Passed by another favorite spot.

Said goodbye to UT and entered AZ

Went through the mountain pass. Still very impressed with my suspension setup. Did not feel any lean or anything with additional 295lb in the back! Heck, I was even passing cars on the steeper downhill section just letting it coast.

Say bye to AZ and entered NV. This would be the last fuel stop till home. This is also where the ATFireworks is (it's not ATF but I call it ATFireworks because they sell Alcohol, Tobacco, and Fireworks all under one roof. Grab what you want and then go check out. This is where I stock up my cache of cigarettes)

Passed by Vegas. Traffic was much better today despite lots of people leaving from SEMA week.

sometimes people do questionable things... like the color choice.

Covered 2424 miles in 4 days and average come out to be 16mpg. not bad considering how fast I was going.


Airing out the tent. Tomorrow will remove the stuff inside to wash and do a clean up inside the camper. If I have time I'll give the truck another wash. Or maybe I'll jump in on the wiring and wash it when everything's done instead.

but but but it doesn't look good! lol

I blamed winter fuel and idling time for a big loss in mileage every winter but it turned out to be my Sled Deck. It's amazing how little it takes to ruin the aerodynamics of a vehicle.
This lightweight aluminum deck would scrub 100kms off my average tank distance of 485kms.
It wasn't till I swapped it to my Dually and started running the truck empty that I finally discovered the difference.
Both trucks were leveled so I always wondered if keeping the factory rake would have changed the way the air flowed around it.

The visor on your old truck likely didn’t do you any favors in the mpg dept. either!

Happy Daylight Savings Day!

Neither does the V10! Mileage Is reference data only, not a real concern of mine.

Not sure how offensive the visor was but I know that the 4 lights on top of my roll bar knocked my top speed down from 134mph to around 115.

Can you post pics of how you attached them to the truck. None of the holes one mine meet up with the factory mounting points. It almost seems like I will need to drill new spots to attach them?

Life has been rough....



But we finally got a chance to breathe....

Upgraded to the 1inch Hellwig SwayBar. #7793. Y’all were right. Makes such a difference.
