As you can see in my signature, I have a 2021 Laramie and I have all the electronics. I have the camera in the third light position, because the rearview mirror uses it in digital display mode. BUT...I don't have that cargo camera button on that screen. I didn't see it as an option either...

I think this is the right direction to take, putting larger tires on the 22" wheels, rather than figuring out whether 18" wheels can go back on a Ram fitted with 22s. A neighbor friend who works in the 4X4 aftermarket said it wasn't possible? But were I ever to go off-road, I'd obviously want...

I live in Indianapolis and travel into Appalachia for motorcycle riding. My goal was to be able to get all the way to Atlanta, where my riding buddy lives, without stopping. Stopping might add 20-30 minutes to drive time and when I'm on the road, I just want to get there. It's also nice to be...

Impressive. To say the least.

I wouldn't worry about opening any can of worms. It's interesting enough of a topic for multiple people to reply. Sure, it's not officially "what did you do today" but we DO drive every day, and we do burn gas and achieve mpg values by doing so. So I guess it does apply! For me, one thing I...

I'm not remotely a gas expert, but is there a seasonal blend that's now being delivered? Same gas stations? The thing that really bothers me is the sticker, which said 17 city, 22 highway. Not only can I not average 22 on the highway, I can't even get close to 17 on the highway. If I can get...

I have been considering applying something to the undercarriage as well. I didn't want a Krown drippy oil, or the thick crusty Ziebart that they apply indiscriminately over all the bolts and wire harnesses too. Every time I get underneath the truck though, I feel discouraged because of all...

Whether you pay the money now with a down payment, or any time in the future in the form of monthly payments or a payoff, it doesn't matter. You owe it, now or in the future. The ONLY difference is whether or not you'll pay interest. Of course, if you pay a finance rate, you'll pay even more...

If you can't arrest the depreciation of a new(ish) vehicle in this market, you never will. As you know, vehicles depreciate immediately, and the steepest decline is the first few years. You won't ever get that back. All you get back, when your negative equity declines, is some of the payments...

If I lived where he lived, I'd've probably spent a few grand more on accessories...

As a professional who interfaces with business systems, I have uncovered all sorts of errors on pricing, discounts and sales restrictions, etc. When I was in engineering, it was the same -- errors on drawings of all kinds, pricing errors on specials. These can be key entry errors or database...

Which rear differential do you have? At a similar speed, but running between Atlanta or Asheville and Indianapolis, I couldn't manage more than 16.3. It's absolutely terrible when I can't even get the typical city economy when running on the interstate. Even more insulting, when you actually...

When I first shopped for my Ram, I thought the power running boards weren't necessary, a bit decadent. However, I have looked at many trucks with fixed boards and all rust terribly over time. I liked that Ram chose a more rust resistant material. Also, once I looked at them in person, I...

I agree, it looks good. So you're saying the front is higher than the rear? At least in the main photo, it does look to be higher. Why do you prefer that, vs being level? So many others work at getting the truck level.

Not picking a fight, sincerely, but the amber color is a universally designated and recognized signaling color to alert other drivers for turning or hazard. It's not a "driver preference" color like the paint or wheels. The only result is confusion for other drivers, and therefore less safe...

So that's a dual sport, but also a 2-stroke. I'm guessing you retrofitted the blinkers kit and whatever else you needed? In what state can you do that?

I think I would fail the tight cone box turning.

Very cool! I have only a WR250R, which you can see in my avatar. This is just my 2nd year offroad, but I hope to be a much better and less intimidated rider in the challenging stuff. On easy forest roads and gravel I might do up to 60mph. But "in the gnar" there is much more to consider...

What sort of competition is this? Also, can you describe your path to get the full bike inside? Do you go up the ramp on the left, then turn toward the right front corner once you're in the bed? Or do you lift and drag it around somehow?

Totaled van, living at a drag strip (!!), DIY guy not afraid to take off a bumper in a field or parking lot...I'm guessing you have some good stories.
