    Towing to Alaska - 5.7, 3.21

    Just addressing this. I did El Paso to Anchorage and back. 2008 going north and 2012 going south. It was maybe a 4 and a half day drive really taking my time getting a hotel early, grabbing dinner/beer, etc. I went I25/90 north then over to I15 and entered Canada through Montana, went...

    A/T tires

    It's a round chunk of black rubber. Mount it BSW and it is hard to **** up the "looks" of a tire.

    A/T tires

    The AT3W Wildpeaks are pretty good for year round tires. I had them on my Tacoma last year and they had no issues in a northern New England winter.

    Installed LASFIT LED's this weekend

    I put in LED fogs yesterday. Not Lasfit. I don't think I'll have any problems there. I kept the low and high beams as halogen, but changed to Silverstar Ultras which I've had on other trucks. I did try to install Lasfit turn signals. T-7443A-CK. Hyperflash and errors on my 21 so I'm going...

    2021 4x4 Laramie - Wheel/ Tyre expert help needed!

    Note that I'm only going off of what I've read here to assume that the 275/60/20s will fit. That and making an educated guess that only an inch in diameter won't cause many problems. No idea which wheel flavors will be optimal for you, but I'm sure someone will chime in soon. Good tire size...

    2021 4x4 Laramie - Wheel/ Tyre expert help needed!

    So i was about to **** with you for the British spelling, but I guess you earned it. Me personally, I'm keeping the black OEM rims even though I'm not a huge 20" fan. Before winter, i'll put on a set of either D or E rated 275/60/20 in the following preference of tire-Falken A/T3W, Toyo AT3...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Used AlphaOBD to change the DRL location to the turn signals. Halogen not LED lights. AlphaOBD for windows isn't exactly user friendly, but I had a spare laptop and no spare android thingies. Now I just need to try to find a cooler(in temperature) turn signal bulb. I had a previous truck...

    Some Real World MPG Numbers

    This is average per the computer as of today. It is within 0.4 MPG of hand calculated mileage at each fillup. After the next tank, I'm probably going to quit hand calculating and call the computer damn close enough. Still bone stock as far as fluids and running gear. Mix of hilly 45 mph...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Installed Lasfit's T-7443A-CK anti hyperflash front turn signals a couple times. Removed them and went back to stock as they hyperflash.

    Bed mats. Whatcha got?

    In the grand scheme of things they're just a rubber mat. Anything will do. As they were on sale for $89, I bought a Husky mat when I picked up my truck last month. https://www.huskyliners.com/Heavy-Duty-Bed-Mats/2021/ram/1500/bed-length/6'-4%22/ram-box/my-truck-does-not-have-the-rambox

    6 cylinder Rams

    Before I retired, my last 3 government vehicles were Rams with the 3.6. Thoroughly abused and neglected, but kept running fine with plenty of available power and great fuel mileage for a full size.

    Tonneau Cover Questions

    Soft roll up cover for me. If I need to use the bed of the truck, I typically need the whole bed. Hard covers do not allow that without removing, retractable covers have a huge box in the front of the bed, and folding covers are similar to hard covers in their utility.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Practical addition. Added tow hooks. Having something to attach to comes in handy at times. Hat tip to the OP of this post for the part numbers. https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/front-tow-hooks.30607/ All parts from Rock Auto were OEM Mopar.

    2022 Toyota Tundra

    Everyone in California will die of cancer before then. Got a tonneau cover from Truxedo last week. Yep, just like everything else, it causes cancer in California.

    Enough truck?

    https://catscale.com/cat-scale-locator/ As already mentioned CAT works. Pretty user friendly too. If not there, then some feed & grain places, scrap yards, and moving companies have them If you're near an active duty military base, there are likely scales as well for people doing DITY moves...

    Will Chrysler buy us all new trucks when ours rust out?!

    So I'm sure it is a joke post, but for the most part rust is preventable. Especially frame rust like the Tacomas. I just traded in my 13 year old Tacoma-not a speck of rust other than on the hitch. Body panel rust is a little more difficult as you have to get in between the seems, inside...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Yes, OEM 20" rims and a 275/60/20 tire fits just fine. Edit: room for larger as well.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    So today in opposite world, I replaced the donut with a spare tire that is larger than my other four. Will put 275/60/20s on the four this summer. Got a matching used rim off of fleabay.
