    Let’s See Your Window Decals

    Neighbor kid‘s name is Brandon and he has this little fancy Ford Focus muscle car. I’m not all that familiar with tiny 4cyl Muscle cars, but it’s impressive, I guarantee you, or at a minimum it sounds impressive (like my Mopar Catback which only adds noise). Needless to say, I’m showing my...

    Goodbye HEMI

    I believe you’re right about that. I just did the math. Gas in Holland is $8.92 a gallon. On top of that you are taxed for the weight of your vehicle.

    Let’s See Your Window Decals

    No NRA or other stickers this time, but I have to admit im tempted to get one of those “Let’s go Brandon” decals for in the rear window.

    OEM exhaust...worth saving?

    I was asked by the dealer what to do with the OEM exhaust when they installed my Mopar catback. I told them whatever I don’t want it. In the event that my wife wouldn’t approve of the new sound, I didn’t want to sit on an option to undo it.

    Wireless charging install question

    One time I quit my Sirius XM. Made it clear when calling them It wasn’t worth the money. Sure enough, got the 50% off “promotion” for another year. For the few stations or channels I listen to, it seems the same songs are played every day or every other day. If I weren’t lazy I could rip all my...

    Someone had to be the first......

    Daydreaming away here… Just keeping looks as close as possible to a plain Jane Laramie. Ultimate “sleeper”.

    RAM 1500 DT (5th Gen) 5.7L Cold Air Intake Mopar (77072428AC)

    I don‘t have the cai yet(!), just the cat back. Startup is thunderous (love my remote start more than ever👹). As it appears, the exhaust has been accepted by the misses, or at least she realized I was gonna get it anyway. If being considerate is a consideration, I’d think summer cold starts are...

    Cleaning outside windshield

    I got the “Crystal Fusion” treatment When I bought the truck. Had I known that it needs to be re-applied every 3 months, I would have opted out. I don’t know what I paid but it‘s too much. First week is kind of cool to see the rain run up the windshield instead of down, but then it wears off...

    Calling All Patriot Blues!

    Personally I think it’s gorgeous when clean and in the “right” light. Clean is where I come up short, which turns it into a 13 in a dozen dark blue (most of the time).

    Dog ramp for rear floor?

    Im happy with the Weathertech… dont think it’s too long, but I have a lift and taller tires (3” total).

    Good Times

    For those with SUV’s: I’ve had the tailgate button accidentally activate on the fab in my pocket. The gate stopped against the garage door. Indoor access to the garage was in the back so you can’t really see it and the garage opener was located on the frame of that door. Left a scratch over the...

    Full exhaust system vs Muffler swap.

    Just another before and after startup (with an old Sony Handicap). Not one bit too loud (I was worried about that). Youtube

    Full exhaust system vs Muffler swap.

    Well, I just came home with my Mopar cat back Installed. Sales and parts guy came out to listen and I had to go around the parking lot and floor it at the stoplight around the corner. First impression: I’m shaking from excitement. Too much fun. Cruising 60 couldn‘t really hear it (90f and AC...

    Just got me a TRX!!

    Sometimes I think, with all the (extra) bells and whistles that came with my Laramie, plus everything I’ve thrown at it so far (and still no end to it) I could have had a TRX. Well done and congrats!

    Full exhaust system vs Muffler swap.

    Really? i made the mistake of telling her I wanted it, and she said no. At that point I figured she would notice the difference in decibels anyway and made sure she was/is aware of it. In the end she knows I’m getting it either way and decided to get on board. So… it’s one more week and she...

    Full exhaust system vs Muffler swap.

    I came from a 5.7 Grand Cherokee. When the sales guy took me for a spin, first thing I noticed was the better sound of the ‘19 RAM Laramie when he stepped on it. Due to the wife’s motion sickness I went to the 2” Mopar lift on my Laramie and upgraded the tires to 295/60/r20. problems solved. Now...

    Not a pickup, but...Bronco!

    Ah, that makes sense. The non-sport looks.... exciting!

    Not a pickup, but...Bronco!

    I don’t know, but the ones I‘ve seen on the road so far have the same appeal to me as an Aztek, none. Maybe there are things “hidden” to be excited about, but my brain simply doesn’t respond like it does when I see a Wrangler (not all of ‘m though). Toyota should bring the FJ Cruiser back as...

    Decided To Not Lift My Truck

    I (2” Mopar) lifted my ‘19 Laramie about 6 months ago and put 295/60r20 Falkens on the factory rims. Maybe I don’t remember the before ride quality, but I don’t think comfort is suffering at all. It’s less boaty and my wife no longer gets seasick in the truck. I don‘t think the tires are noisier...
