    Hows your fwd collision auto braking doing?

    My forward braking has never kicked in. My last ride was an Acura that had the occasional false alert, so I've been really happy with this one so far. The rear sensors have hit the brakes on me a few times. Twice because I was backing up with the tailgate down, and a couple of times backing...

    Purchase New, Lease New, or Buy Used?

    On the depreciation, keep in mind that if the truck stickers at $60k with some work you can probably get it close to $48k. That helps the math a lot, though you still have to deal with sales tax. I did a 15k mile lease, because I drive a fair amount and didn't want to worry about it. Probably...

    Interior Insulation by trim?

    The front door glass is acoustic, but not the rear doors. I think this applies to all trims. I haven't driven a Limited, but my Laramie is the quietest vehicle I've ever owned. Really makes long highway drives pleasant.

    What else in your garage?

    Just a lurker when I need something. Mine is pretty much stock - very tame compared to yours. My teenage son drives it, but I still take it every once in a while. My little brother had a '70 Satellite in high school and we used to dream it was a Roadrunner. Really great lines on that car.

    What else in your garage?

    You are a man of taste for sure. Particularly like the Roadrunner. And I love my FJ.

    Found this while hardwiring a radar detector

    My Acura had one of those, installed at the dealer. They tried to add it on to the price as a security feature, but I insisted I didn't want or need it. The solution - they inserted a little chip in the device that deactivated it. I'm guessing their cost on it was so low that it would have...

    Trying to Decide...

    '21 vs. '21, I'd have to take a good look at the F150, especially if I had Powerboost money to spend. '20 vs. '20 I think the Ram wins easily. The interior and ride were big factors for me. The fact that I could lease it for $100s a month less I've driven F150s with the 3.5 Ecoboost, and I...

    What else in your garage?

    I wish I could fit my Ram in the garage... Currently in the garage is a '17 Expedition EL and an '09 328i convertible. I could try and trade places with the Expy, but I think it would be bad for my marriage. Also have an '07 FJ Cruiser in the driveway, and a Sanger V215 wake boat behind the...

    What is everyone using for stake pocket hole covers

    Got these not-quite-Bullrings for $16 on Amazon. Had to trim some plastic, but they fit well and keep water out of the bed.

    Having a hard time deciding

    I got a well-equipped Laramie instead of a Limited because the leasing numbers were much better, even though the price wasn't far off. If I were purchasing, I think Limited would be the way to go. The nicer interior, air suspension, bedliner, etc all add up to a pretty good value if you want a...

    Foam cup holders

    My 2021 Laramie had only driver’s side. I didn’t even notice for a couple of weeks. I thought maybe my daughter had somehow knocked it out, but now I see I’m not alone.

    Debadging

    Thanks! That looks great. I dipped my badges black but it feels like they need something else. This looks just right.

    What color vinyl did you use? I have a Billet Silver and was thinking about doing the same. Any pics of the hood from further back? Looks great!
