    EQ options

    Are there any updates/hacks/etc., for the UConnect EQ? I'm sorry, but 3-band EQ with a 19-speaker H/K system is just stupid. I will admit that the stereo's AI is very good at making some of the tunes sound better-balanced than they did in my old truck, but the sound quality is just not...

    USB thumb drive: music files

    I have a 32GB SanDisk (with about 18GB of tunes) I used in my 2012 with a JVC head unit - the JVC randomizer would only recognize about 30% of what was in the folder I chose to shuffle, then restart that random playlist all over again... and each time I would make my way back to that folder and...

    Magnaflow Muffler

    I had a Magnaflow Universal on my 2012 Lone Star - Loved It! After I get some mileage on my '21 (i.e., wear out the stock Goodyears), I'll be adding a Magnaflow Direct-Fit with the new tires and leveling kit. Congrats! Magnaflow Rawks!

    Black hood and roof??

    We've got one of those here - I initially thought it was just the light and shadows playing on the ceramic-coated paint, but nope - that roof is black. I'm kind of lukewarm on that look, but I would've been a buyer if the stealership hadn't pulled the old 'bait & switch' by listing it for the...

    Big Horn like no other

    I was kind of expecting to see something like this: This '21 Big Horn Black Widow started me down the road to getting my new truck. It was a rare sight in San Angelo, since Texas typically doesn't see very many Big Horns come through since we have our Lone Stars. This is also the direction...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Got my bed cover and Weather Tech rain guards installed, then took it to the car wash to meet the guys who will be washing it for the next 10+ years.

    What are your top five upgrades?

    I wasn't paying attention the other day at the accessory shop - they didn't have the BAKFlip MX4, they had an Undercover Flex instead. Basically, the same exact thing, except the Flex has a 5-year warranty (vs. 3-year with the BAKFlip) & carpet on the underside of each panel, along with a light...

    What are your top five upgrades?

    Just got it, so these things are on order: 1. BAKFlip MX4 bed cover 2. Weather Tech Rain Guards 3. Fleece center console lid protector (a must if you hate sweating on the leather console cover on a hot day - toss it in the washer, slip it back on) Once the stock Goodyears wear out (shouldn't...

    Greetings from West Texas

    Thanks! Oddly enough, I arrived here in Jan '91 on the Air Force plan, met my wife (also AF), and have been here ever since. If you haven't been back in awhile, you wouldn't believe how much it's grown (in places, that is... some others, not so much). As you can see, 'The Awfulplex' is...

    Window tint questions

    I absolutely love the look of tinted windows on vehicles - the darker, the better... from the outside, that is. My first car ('82 Mustang) was tinted to 5% all the way around including the eyebrow, and even though I got used to it eventually, I hated backing that thing up at night. I kind of...

    Retractable Side Steps.

    I remembered how much of a PITA it was for wiring when I installed a back-up camera on my 2012, so I made sure my '21 already had the retractable rails when I picked it out (my wife is 5'2"). It sure is nice having them, but being 6'5", I never use 'em (I've started calling them 'ankle biters -...

    Greetings from West Texas

    Thanks! I hafta admit that I miss my 2012 a little bit, but so far the '21 is checking off ALL the boxes!

    Laramie Sport 22" rims

    Sweet Ride, Texas_Ram! Thanks for the info on the tires. I'm planning on something similar when the Goodyears wear out (and they will - I know ~20K is about average on those turds. All of my Rams with factory Goodyear Wranglers burned through them all in about that range). I'm also...

    Who buys upgrades before their truck arrives?!

    First thing I did the morning after bringing it home from DFW was to go to my favorite local shop and ordered the BAKFlip MX4 and some WeatherTech In-Channel Rain Guards - they'll be here Thursday, so I guess I didn't exactly have them waiting on me... but I'd planned on those things from the...

    Harmon Kardon Audio Quality

    I just got mine with the H-K system a few days ago, and after having an aftermarket 6-speaker system in my 2012 Lonestar (installed by me), I have mixed feelings. My custom system was a JVC head unit w/Infinity Kappas in the doors and an MTX Thunderform w/10" Terminator subs & 400w amp - the...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Smelled the leather and 'new car smell' a few minutes ago. 'Murica!

    Greetings from West Texas

    Hello All! I just traded in my 2012 Lonestar RWD for a 2021 Longhorn Limited 4x4, and had to do the 'DFW 500' to get it (the RAM stealership here in San Angelo absolutely sucks - there's a reason I've called them 'The Awfulplex' since the '90s). I'd been looking for intel on the pending Ram...
