    Official Billet Silver Thread

    I can't believe how "dirt friendly' they are compared to other colors. They look good even when dirty... Now, as I noted before, the Granite Crystal of my wife's Jeep Cherokee (Elite edition black out like package) with every bell and whistle there is, is the most beautiful color you ever saw...

    Experienced Natures Wrath Last Night

    We had a big one about a couple of weeks ago. I was out with the garage door open seeing how bad the rain was as I can have it come in the garage upon occasion, well anyway, I hear a loud POP up the hill (forested), see a blue light from the electrical switcher/capacitor up there, then flash and...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    I believe we may have a few more levels of devolution before we get there, but you are correct, the dynamic is in play. My favorite when I was five was..."Your mother wore army boots." Now remember, this was back around 1960 before there were mothers in army boots, so I'm thinking there must...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    What did I do today? Having the Multifunction Tailgate and Ramboxes, I didn't really want when I bought off the dealer lot, I opened the tailgate from the top down just so I would remember what it was like. With the Ramboxes, I now have like three new/old black yellow boxes since I emptied them...

    Multifunctional Tailgate

    I ended up going "inexpensive" and getting the Truxedo Truxsport for like 300 bucks. For my needs, it works great. I also have the Ramboxes and bed utility management system. I am less interested in perfection and more about practicality. It isn't 100% waterproof, but it is about 98%. And I...

    Trailer Tow Mirrors...?

    They are superior to anything else, but having had this type https://www.americantrucks.com/productphotos?webid=ram1500-snap-zap-towing-mirrors-80730&showFeed=True&customerpics=false&index=0 on my 2015, they were pretty darn good, look OEM to anyone not having a Ram and pretty easy to take off...

    Trailer Tow Mirrors...?

    On a seven foot wide unit you will NOT need tow mirrors. I'd at least get some of the nice aftermarket tow mirrors that attach without blocking lights and almost look like OEM to anyone unfamiliar. They don't interfere with the power elements either including folding or adjustment. I had a pair...

    First Tow with 2021 Limited EcoDiesel

    Having come off my 2015 with 17 inch KO2's, this was my biggest issue with the Falkens OWL's like you have. Towing a 6500ish loaded travel trailer They tend to "wallow" in comparison to the KO2's. This last trip, I took em up to 42/43 psi and it was...better... Running hot, they are at about 46...

    harman kardon is nothing than a bag of trash

    Not the first person to say something like that. A few prefer the alpine 9 speaker system who have had both. Heck, I was OK with the base 6 speaker in my 2015, but must admit the Alpine system is much better.

    First Tow with 2021 Limited EcoDiesel

    As you calculate, and I up voted the guy who noted this and, this is important, the payload calculation and the amount you can load does NOT include any fluids in the truck including gas/diesel. A lot of people think they need to calculate a full tank of gas into their payload calculation. So...

    Fuel storage in bed ideas

    I have one of these https://www.lowes.com/pd/Carry-On-Trailer-3-5-ft-x-5-ft-Wire-Mesh-Utility-Trailer/3680952?site=shopLocal I cannot believe the price now. I got mine for about 249 with some kind of discounts six years ago...primarily when I had a Subaru. But works great with a truck too. But...

    Solutions for small cargo items/groceries in bed.

    In my 2015 shortbed with sprayed in bedliner and cheap tonneau, bungee cords did the trick. I primarily just used the two round hook areas at the bottom front of the bed to hook up various combinations of "bed control." I always had two or three on each side laying on the bottom. I could hook...
