    Input on AT tires

    I'll be getting tires soon. Trying to decide between the Cooper AT3 and the Falken AT4. Street driving, no snow, some rain but not usually that bad. Getting AT just for looks. Trying to resist the urge to lift or level for now lol.

    2025 ram 1500 engine broke at 400miles

    This is why I ended up buying a new '23. I didn't feel like it's a good time to take a leap of faith with the new I6. If they don't get this figured out soon, I'd be tempted to see if they would give you a good deal on a '24 if they have any still. Problems are to be expected with a new engine...

    Base 6 speaker upgrade options?

    Yeah, not really a sub at that size. Though there are two versions of it: A no-name OEM replacement version, sold by Quadratec (Jeep accessories), and the Kicker version. I have two Jeep TJ's and the previous owner put the Quadratec version in that one. It's in the center console facing the...

    Base 6 speaker upgrade options?

    Jeeps have pretty awful acoustics. Especially if you have a soft top. I don't have a back seat in mine, so might try to do a small 10" behind the passenger seat on the floor. There's also a Kicker 6.75" that will fit in the OEM center console location. That would be easier, but probably not much...

    Best Power Steps/Running boards: Westin Pro-E, AMP, Rough Country ?

    Looks good! I've thought of doing something similar with steps that aren't power. I figure if they aren't power/retractable, they won't break eventually. Also provide good protection from door dings, shopping carts, etc. Since these days, if someone puts a nice size dent in your door, they do a...

    USB thumb drive: music files

    Tried ripping a few cd's with iTunes Apple lossless .m4a because many of my existing music is poor quality. Found the truck doesn't read AAC. Is there a lossless file format it supports? I'm on PC, doesn't have to be done in iTunes if there's something better.

    Base 6 speaker upgrade options?

    What year Wrangler do you have? I have an 06 Unlimited (LJ) and an 04 Sahara. I used to have a 2012 JKU. I've upgraded the speakers to 5.25" JL and trying to figure out if I want to do a sub. Since I have a custom cage, the rear speaker pods are currently zip tied to the floor until I get some...

    33x12.50R20 on Stock 2020 Ram 1500 V8 4x4

    Most recommend 275/60/20 = 33X10.8. Any wider and you might need spacers, aftermarket wheels, heat gun on front liners, zip tying the wheel well liners out of the way. I've also seen a few report these sizes work: 275/65/20 = 34” x 10.8 wide 305/55/20 - 33.2" - Supposedly fit on stock wheels...

    Upgrading am fm stock radio in 2022 Ram 1500 quad cab

    What size do you have? There are 5", 8.4", 12". For the most part, you should not replace it with an aftermarket radio unless you are having problems.

    Tow/Haul Mode Switch Addon

    Found it on mine. Still doubt that can be added if you don't already have it.

    Cold Air Intake

    Exhaust will give you a different sound, but not really better performance. Many have done the tuners and pedal mods (pedal monster and commander?). Both options seem similar to having an option for Sport mode on some vehicles. On my previous 2018 F150 with the 2.7 Turbo, you could put it in...

    Cold Air Intake

    This always seems to be the case with a CAI. People trying to squeeze out a little more power and wasting money in the process.

    Tow/Haul Mode Switch Addon

    Gotcha! I know my wife's Expedition has that, same selector as Sport mode on the Ford. I don't recall anything like that on my '23.

    Tow/Haul Mode Switch Addon

    Are you looking for a '24 or '25? At least for '24 and earlier, that cannot be added. It is part of the 'Trailer tow group'. They can add the hitch or brake controller, but not the tow group. That group includes the following: Trailer–Tow Group: Trailer Reverse Steering Control Trailer Tire...

    Change to turn signals in 2023 MY?

    I took my '23 in for this a couple weeks ago. They ended up replacing the clock spring and didn't change out the multifunction switch. I was skeptical, but it is fixed now.

    Granite crystal metallic thread

    Still stock, but hoping to do wheels and tires soon. Probably going with 275/60/20 and no lift or level. Likely bronze wheels. Top wheel choices are: METHOD MR305, VISION WHEEL OJOS, Fuel Variant, ICON ALLOYS REBOUND. I've replaced the audio system (speakers and amp), but haven't done anything...

    What else in your garage?

    It bugs my wife and I. She likes to let me know when people on social media use 'wondering' and 'wandering' incorrectly. Example: I heard some loud noises and wandering if they were gunshots. Or There is a stray dog wondering around the neighborhood. Also this tidbit regarding brakes vs...
