    Front brake pads at 45K...holy kryptonite!

    So, doing a little tire rotating yesterday...have a new set of pads on the shelf, just because. Figured might need em by now. Wrong! Can't believe these pads still have what looks to me like 70% left!! At this rate I'll maybe be doing first brake job at 100K 😁

    OIL CHANGE HACK!....No drips...not one!

    ok..did my first oil change on the Ram today...looked it over first underneath, and figured I would see what I could come up with to keep things clean. Did a mod to a little plastic scooper, and whaddya' know...worked like a charm. I mean, not one drop on the sway bar.

    Middle front speaker swap review

    Got the " 3rd " infinity from a member here by splitting cost on a set..been waiting on the bench for 2 weeks. Finally threw it in today...WOW, didn't think it would make much difference, but it sure did! . If you've done the 2 outers....make sure you do the center. Marine Corps approved!

    Proactive defense against water leaks.

    Since I had removed the 3rd brake lite to install LED's, I thought I would Flex Seal it as a peace of mind thing. Must say I do love my Flex Seal!

    Center front speaker gurus...have a question for ya.

    ok, I did the 2 corner speakers using the Infinity reference 3.5's...now thinking, I might do the center. So I was back on Crutchfield looking at the Infinity's again, and it states: "does not fit center". then they link to "see what fits"..which brings you to a JL Audio C7-350 $389.00 each...

    Anyone put a "Bull Bar" on a Limited? if so, pics please.

    was toying with the idea of a chrome bar, but most pics I see show it on a non-limited grill, with the bigger headlights. Was wondering what it would look like on a Limited?..hmmmm

    Did a little undercoating today...anyone else have advice?

    ..did the spray can, rubberized stuff. Diff looks a lot better, was starting to get that surface rust look. Didn't go crazy though. Just the major areas, staying away from fittings, joints, electrical, etc..anyone else do this? Would like to hear what parts you did/didn't do.
