    Security Thoughts on trucks other than TRX

    No, just wondering what he's going to do when he tracks down his truck. Sure, if it's parked in the open, unattended, get in and drive away. Though if it's surrounded by thieves stripping it, not going to be able to recover it without police. Police cooperation would depend on the area. I'm sure...

    Base 6 speaker upgrade options?

    The 6.5 mid would go in the doors. Not sure where the tweeter would go. Pretty sure the dash corners are 3.5". So you could fit the tweeter in there if you're taking out the oem 3.5" and not doing a 3.5" replacement. So still not sure about my picture of the front center. @1791 said the ball in...

    Security Thoughts on trucks other than TRX

    So what's the plan there? Round up a posse with guns and take down the car theft ring? I'm guessing the police would tell you to pound sand and call your insurance co.

    Base 6 speaker upgrade options?

    Pretty sure you would need new wiring running from the amp to the speakers. I haven't done an amp in a while, but assume you need a DSP as well. I'll do separates in the front, but don't think you need much for the back, it's just fill. Unless you want it to sound good for people in the back...

    Base 6 speaker upgrade options?

    Yes you can since nobody wants to replace the head unit in modern vehicles. I'll probably get mine done in the next year or so.

    Security Thoughts on trucks other than TRX

    If I actually had a vehicle stolen, I would get an alarm with starter kill in the replacement. I'm 51 and it hasn't happened yet. I figure very low probability. Jeeps get stolen in Socal pretty often. My neighbor has a soft top Jeep in his driveway. All they would need to do would be unzip the...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Sounds like it's a good thing I bought one a week ago. I got 20% off of a '23. 10% Ram, 10% dealer.

    You're not the only one. I've never had a vehicle stolen (or even broken into). I assume the majority do not want an alarm (or other aftermarket anti-theft devices), probably 95% or more. If someone has problems with theft or vandalism, I understand wanting one.

    Its been a pleasure

    That is odd! How many colors is it??? (don't answer that lol) Oddly, one of the left over '23 models I was strongly considering is a BTS edition that is like you describe: Hydro blue with night package. It's about 4 hours away from me near Fresno CA, found mine about an hour away. Short bed...

    I hear ya there! When looking for my 5th gen, one of my preferred colors was silver because it would match my Jeep and usually looks clean enough. Though I went with Granite Crystal which I assume will usually look dirty. Lots of truck washes in my future! :rolleyes:

    Granite crystal metallic thread

    Nice! Wish mine came with those wheels! I have a bedliner and cover on my list. Probably tint the front too. Top items on my list: Speakers - came with the 6 speaker system. I want to add an amp and replace the front speakers and add a small sub Wheels and tires - Definitely wheels. Probably do...

    Its been a pleasure

    There aren't many colors on the 5th gen that I like. Looks like they are updating the color choices on the '25, but I don't want the new engine (or first gen anything). Since I was pretty unbiased when starting to look. I believe the Chevy's currently have the best color combos, maybe followed...

    Congrats on the new Chevy! I bought my Ram a week ago, but was also tempted by the Chevy. They do have some of the best colors to choose from.

    35x12.5R18 on Performance Orientated Lift - a Overview, Procedure, and Review.

    Ok cool. So if I go with the same Method wheels in the OP, can I go without the spacers? Not a fan of spacers. I've had tires shops break them.

    35x12.5R18 on Performance Orientated Lift - a Overview, Procedure, and Review.

    Would your Method wheels work with 33's at OEM height without trimming? Probably do 275/70R18. Might try to find some Rebel take offs if the tires are in good shape, and do the wheels later.

    Base 6 speaker upgrade options?

    I just bought one last week and will probably replace all the speakers, add a small sub and amp. Still just barely starting to research, but used to be an audiophile 30 years ago lol. So tentative plans are 6.5" separates in the front doors, and whatever will fit in the other front slots, I...

    Security Thoughts on trucks other than TRX

    Sure, it's possible if you park in unattended areas. I'm not opposed to anyone else getting an alarm. I just don't want one. I've seen too many alarm systems fail and cause problems, especially if it has a starter kill. Luckily it's a free country, so do what you want. If you think your truck is...

    Security Thoughts on trucks other than TRX

    I pay my insurance. I'm 51 and have never had a vehicle stolen. Maybe if it happens, I'll take steps to prevent it. Mine is parked in my driveway unattended when I'm not at work. I'm not worried about it. If you are, then by all means pay thousands of dollars to prevent it. Just figure out how...

    Subscribing. Curious if this can be done, and for how much.
